At one point on Wednesday I sent out a tweet that read “I’m having a great day!” And it was: I was rocketing through my project work at the day job, solved two complicated high priority system problems, and was on a general high from all the progress I’d made with my [...]

Good day at work yesterday; busy, challenging, and one where some long-term results were finally realised. It’s the biggies that count most. I topped it off with a couple of pints of Guinness in Clark’s afterwards. Sorted.
Not much else done because the results I spoke of didn’t actually happen until between 7.30pm and [...]

Yesterday my team [...]
Yesterday was a struggle, because I was just so tired.
I wanted to get my monthly quote of DWT articles done early this month, so that I am covered for the next few weeks, and should I write any more before the end, I can build up a stock for holidays and sickness. I got the [...]
ONLY 1 DAY LEFT OF MY WINTER BOOK OFFER!!!
I suffered the usual morning-after-a-few-pints-of-Guinness effects this morning. Regular drinkers of the Black Stuff will know what I mean – those who don’t, don’t ask.
As well as largely focussing on my freelance work and on the completion of Slick this year, I’ve also begun thinking about my [...]
