New beginnings
Posted on Sunday, August 31, 2008 | No CommentsYou may have noticed that this website has taken on a new look. There's a reason for this. In the past I've used strange, esoteric software to create my websites - the last one was made using something called GreyMatter. While this works OK, it's ... -

First day
Posted on Monday, August 4, 2008 | No CommentsWell, I've survived the first day of my new job. Everyone seems really nice, and there's certainly plenty to keep me busy.
