Turns out this thing is on.
So here we are again, another attempt at posting.
This time, no pressure.
No promises to post once a week (although I might).
No promises of interesting code (although there may be).
No promises of keeping multiple blogs for different subjects (NO there really wont be).
What I do promise however, is to attempt to make each post : mildly interesting, possibly useful, mostly using grammatically correct English, and bring you wealth, love, hot chicks and world peace*.
So what’s new?
Well, I’ve given up contracting, maybe temporarily – who can refuse doubling your income overnight – but for now its something I must do. I’d just had enough of the same DULL projects, DULL web coding (anyone who knows me knows how much I *love* web work), DULL database work, and well just all round DULL crap. There’s only so many dull form-filling-validating-database-writing-report-generating pieces of crap you can stomach before you want to decapitate yourself in a fit of depression. I’d reached that point a few months ago. I never thought I’d reach my fill of computers, having been a code monkey since the age of about 12….but it happened around about May ‘14. I was ready to give up tech and go and make furniture or something.
So, I took a permanent position doing quite possibly the most interesting code-work outside of the games industry. It’s re-ignited the flame that burned inside me that gave me the love of all things tech, and better still I’m in at geek-ground-zero. I’m in the R & D Department of what can only be described at James Bond’s Q division.
It’s still a bit of a trek, an hours drive but it’s well worth it.
I *LOVE* my job.
*no, not really. Although there may be cheap hookers and coke.
