Wow, it’s been a while…
Yet again my postings are becoming few and far between. A lot has happened recently but I’ve just not found the time to write about any of it. I’ve been feeling far too tired recently.
Well a lot of you know that a few weeks back, three of us developers here at work were told that one of us would be being made redundant. So followed a very long week and a half of uncertainty and frantic job hunting. Luckily at the end of it I wasn’t selected. ( No, I did not bribe my MD! ). It did put a huge downer on the beginning of this month, even now it doesn’t feel like it used to. Silly really, but I’m sure things will get back to normal shortly. It also means that there is a lot more work to do as we are one man down. Oh the joys. Good luck to Mark, if you’re reading this, in finding a new job. Hopefully you’ll find something that both you and Artimus ( the Aardvark ) can enjoy. 
I also want to say a big “Get Well Soon” to Mandy, who, as a lot of you know, is very ill at the moment. After spending around 10 days in Weston hospital she is now back at home and I heard that last night she is managing to walk without the crutches, although her legs is “still a funny colour”. 
So hurry up and get better Mandy and stop playing World of Warcraft all day or I’ll never catch you up! 
I’ve finally bought a non mac laptop! ( I’ll give you some time to recover. ) After almost 6 years of only using a Mac or Linux at home, I’ve finally taken the plunged and bought a new Windows Vista laptop. It said laptop on the box, but the thing is soo big I wouldn’t be able to walk if it stayed on my lap for too long! It was fairly cheap at £399 from *show horror* PC World but overall I’m very pleased. A nice shiny new 17″ Toshiba. It’s now got Visual Studio installed, the main reason to move to Windows and it plays World of Warcraft a lot faster than my 3 year old iBook, the second reason.
Now you’ve probably saw that I mentioned World of Wardcraft twice in this post. That’s about 2 times more than the whole history of this blog. For years I’ve managed to ignore this game, knowing that if I did join I
would spend far too much time playing, and become one of those sad people that discuss their latest dungeon experience or elite boots down the pub! You know who you are! Well I tried it just under a month ago on my mac and straight away liked it. Now running it on my new laptop it’s even better and so after just under a month I’ve got to level 35 with my Night Elf Rogue.
So next time I’m down the pub with you lot and I start to mention WoW, then you have my permission to slap me and tell me shut up!
