Still kicking
Added 2025-02-19 18:48:55 +0000 UTCI’m still alive. I think I’m on that bit of the sickness slope just before officially “starting to feel a bit better”.
While I’ve been dead on the couch, the garden studio has been installed. They finished lunchtime today. I haven’t had a good look at it yet. There’s still plenty to do, most notably electricity hook up.
It’s going to be quite a few days before I can concentrate on anything properly. This post has taken the best part of an hour to write.
Thanks for all the well wishes, reading through them has revealed how widespread this flu strain is.

I would love it (when you are 100%) if the puppets filled it for you in a short video, saying you will be back soon etc lol.

2025-03-25 18:07:16 +0000 UTCPlease stay with us! Let's hope to quickly find out what you have and how to get the right treatment soon, or in any case please recover.
Simon van Wees
2025-03-07 20:51:49 +0000 UTCGet well soon Matt! My aunt has something similar a few months ago.
Matthew Elliff
2025-03-05 17:30:24 +0000 UTCI was hoping for best case scenario. I hope Mat feels better soon. And if we don't get a status update in one week I will be inquiring 🥹

2025-03-01 13:17:21 +0000 UTCHope you're feeling better. I saw this ebay listing and thought of you. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116491694681
Giles Jones
2025-02-28 20:52:00 +0000 UTCI imagine Mat's hard at work preparing his new space and concentrating on a new video. My earlier fear was complications due to asthma and previous struggles with pneumonia.
Grace Robbins
2025-02-28 17:57:49 +0000 UTCMy wife and I have been worried about you as well. We so enjoy your work and knew that you must have been hit hard by that cold. Hope you are finally starting to feel better and if we can do anything to help, just ask.
Christopher Bolton
2025-02-28 13:21:22 +0000 UTCI've been watching all the old failed audio formats again. I have no idea why they fascinate so much.
Doug Damon
2025-02-25 01:39:24 +0000 UTCEven though your recovering .. rest assured your old videos still being watched. Just watching the auto chess ones again.

Max Krul
2025-02-22 12:42:10 +0000 UTCGood morning, Matt. I was worried about the absence of videos. When entering Patreon, it comes up that I was sick. I hope you get better soon and vote to make videos for us. Saturday is not the same without the new episode of Techmoan. God bless you!
João Luiz Itagiba Fonseca
2025-02-22 11:22:00 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry to hear this, from the little time I spent with her she was clearly a lovely fun person. My condolences.
Techmoan
2025-02-22 10:07:26 +0000 UTCAll the best Matt, hope you get better soon. Sadly to say Janette past away 2 weeks ago. If ever in Llangollen, look me up chap. A.

Paul P-W (PPW-007)
2025-02-21 20:37:00 +0000 UTCMat, I don't pay you to sit on the sofa all day, see me in my office first thing Monday morning for a little chat. Illness is no excuse for a lack of content, if you're dead then i expect only a slight reduction in output but you really should be sending updates from the afterlife. Cuh, what do I expect from a bloke who uses a cassette tape as an amplifier, SA-90 type II, not even a metal one.
Martipar
2025-02-21 16:00:45 +0000 UTCGet better soon Mat!
Gadgetman
2025-02-21 10:29:33 +0000 UTCDear Mr. Moan - Please continue taking care of yourself. I hope you recover quickly. And give my best to Mrs. Moan. PS- Mrs. Moan actually sounds like a good super villain name.

Michael Jordan
2025-02-20 09:08:22 +0000 UTCWe had it just before Christmas. It took us a month to feel properly better. Don't start again until you feel 95% fit and your enthusiasm returns. Sending you best wishes, Stephen.
