Fade to Play

Although I won’t be attending as I have a crazy May as it is and no $$ to travel to the Valley, I do recommend people head down to D-Camp which is a spinoff of barcamp because Rashmi is organising it, meaning it will be a top-notch event.

Yesterday I woke up with serious eye problems. Light (laptop, mobile phone, sun) was hurting my eyes and they were very red. After trips to the Emergency room I have been diagnosed with viral congivitus which is very serious. I am wearing sunglasses but I am realising that more thatn 20 mintues on a comupter, I can’t handle. Tomorrow I will see a specialist.

So I think I will have to spend the next 2-3 weeks writing out my thesis by long hand and minimise my computer use. Considering my thesis is on tagging and I need to spend alot of time online, this is not good.

This is all around bad. In addition, this is unrelated to that other health issue I have.

[update]
After two eye specialist appointments, eye photographs, ultrasound, tons of blood tests, and chest xray, it looks like I don’t have any serious eye damage although I don’t have the blood tests back so I don’t know how I got this eye infection but since Thursday I have been ok. The eye drops have worked wonders and I don’t need glasses or have any problems with light. A shout out to the Doctor at Student Health that decided to proactively seek out an eye specialist for me the next day (for Tuesday) which I believe helped me avoid serious eye damage.
