Right. Again I have failed to update my blog more frequently. I’m not even going to promise it this time around because I’ll probably forget/not have time/some other exuse. But I’m back for now, with a new design. Some things still don’t work. For example: Internet Explorer. PNG transparency just doesnt work without hacks. Hacks which I have not yet implemented. I’ll get round to it soon. The ‘About’ and ‘Contact’ page are also very bare. I’ll update them in the next few days or something…
So… What have I been up to? Not much. I have a job. I am a developer of sorts, working for Markit. I don’t really have a job title as such. I work on the database, write various scripts for things, generally make things behind the scenes better in one way or another. General Developer Dogsbody could be my title I suppose. I guess I am a fairly small cog in the grand scheme of things there, but have you ever tried removing the small cog? Sorry, that sounds horribly arrogant but I like to think I’m doing something important, even if it doesnt often relate directly to the products. Oh, I also wangled Sofian (friend from my course at Manchester) a job here! It’s almost like I’m back at uni. But I’m not in Manchester, work a lot more, have more money and less holiday.
Anyway, apart from work I have also been failing to take photographs (severe lack of inspiration), started singing lessons (just because), and generally pondering life. I have a few projects on the go. Opuscopus.com is almost ready to go live, Snowplease is in the making (more on that sometime later), and I’ll keep tweaking this site.
There are many other new things, and not so new things with me. I’m still thinking about exactly what I will and won’t talk about on this blog. I probably won’t ever decide, so it will just be a constant (or very sparodic) stream of mostly uninteresting crap. I’ll appologise for this now to save me the trouble later. Sorry. I doubt many people read it anyway so I’m not sure why I’m worrying.
Right. It’s late, I have work tomorrow, and need to catch up on some beauty sleep. Goodnight.
