I am still alive

I know I've not been around very much. Thanks dave_t_lurker, for reminding me.

Life is hectic, stressful, crazy, and going to get more so as time goes on. That's the way life is sometimes, I guess. I'll be a grandparent in a few months time, I've just got a new job (the old one was really starting to get on my tits), and basically stuff is piling up in emotional, financial and administrative terms. Perhaps it's not actually a bad time to start talking to people again.

The new job should be good. It's more money, and the company seems better organised than the shower I'm with at the moment. I should be doing real, proper grown-up development, all the time, which is pretty cool. I'm a bit worried that it'll be extremely busy and I might have some trouble keeping up at first, but I'm a quick learner and I should be able to cope long term. Could probably do with buying myself a few books though.

I have done some coding for fun just recently though, and that's therapeutic in its own way. I'm hoping to resurrect some of the old projects I've been working on sporadically for years now. One of them is something I've been meaning to bring to reality for ages, but it really needs a proper business model around it and that requires that I understand how to start and run a business, which, frankly, I don't. I think it would be a winner, but I haven't the slightest idea how to actually go about it. This is probably why I'll continue to not get rich.

Right, I think that's probably enough wittering for now. I'll see you guys later.
