My first blog post

Well, looks like I’ve finally got round to getting a blog up and running. I’d been thinking for a while about writing my own scripts to do it (in PHP or Perl) but I havent had the time. I’ve been too busy creating the system responsible for [update: very old dead links] this for BBC News.

Working for ‘Auntie’ is great. After a long haul, trying to start a business in writing software (Smibase – Synchronised Multimedia publishing system : database/PHP driven SMIL : it works too!) and riding a financial rollercoaster, I decided to jump ship (a week before it sank!). So, now I do what I do best for the people I’ve always wanted to work for! And I love it.
