And so another year draws to an end leading into what is set to be a newer, busier, year ahead. The last few months seem to have flown past and left little time for reflection or to take stock.

I've decided that this summer we're going to spend less time sat at the pc's and spend more outside getting fresh air and seeing the world we live in. Last weekend we had a gloriously warm and blue sky weekend. The sun was shining, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and zero plane trails to break up the overwhelming blueness. An ideal weekend to be out and about (and to test out the newly installed SportyPal ).

Ok so it's not quite finished yet but you may have noticed that the site has a fresh new look. There are three reasons for this. Firstly the dhtml menus, whilst pretty cool, were not mobile friendly, and I find myself browsing the web increasingly on this platform. Secondly I was getting a bit bored of the old look and it really was beginning to look outdated and, frankly, quite naff!

Sat in the office yesterday, plugging my way through some jobs, when two students came to the door eagerly clutching some black sugar paper. They had been sent down to us by their English teacher because they were having trouble printing and thought perhaps we would have more luck. Ok, no problem, we can do printing. However, their request was beyong even our realms of expertise, they wanted us to print white text onto the black paper.

Well there we go then, after eight (very long) years of study I am now the owner of a degree For those to who it matters, to be precise I now have a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Information Technology and Computer Upper Second-class (2.1).
