I haven’t posted a blog post in about a month now, so I thought I would give you guys who still read this thing a bit of an update.
Since leaving University, I have managed to bag myself a software development position back at Marishal Thompson (Where I used to work before University!). This is awesome, as I know everyone there and I know how things work etc. I will be developing web applications (both in-house and external) in ASP.NET and also developing a range of software applications both for the web (Silverlight) and desktop (C#). The pay is much higher now that I am qualified too, which is always a bonus!
As well as managing to get back into work, my girlfriend and I have managed to get a place of our own. We haven’t moved in yet, but we will be moving in on the 15th January, so we are really looking forward to it! We’ve been spending the past week or so buying bits and pieces (Dinner sets, Fridge, etc!).
As a final note, I have been toying with the idea of turning this site into more of an online portfolio and having the blog sort of in the “background” so to speak. The reason being, my original plans for this site were not so that I can write a regular blog (Which is why I don’t post here that often) and I would now like to begin reworking the site to fit those plans. I don’t know when I will be making these changes, but expect them over the next few months. The blog will remain in tact, as will all of the blog posts I have made to date. I will most likely just create a Wordpress theme based around my goals, and then have a link to the blog (As I would still like to use Wordpress as my CMS).
Anyway, that’s all I have to say for now, so until next time!
HAPPY NEW YEAR Tom
see you soon and hope 2010 will be a great year for you.

So how was your new year? And the big day is knocking at the door when you and your girlfriend will be shifting to the new home..hopefully you have already bought the essential bits and pieces. Best of luck to both of you ..hope you have a nice time!
Good to hear you had a nice time. Your idea of turning this site into more of an online portfolio is fabulous as a fresh look will provide the necessary appeal that usually other blogs lack. This makes the blog site more like a chore than a choice. I feel if you have good content along with appealing looks then this site is definitely going to be rage among bloggers.
