I've been quiet for a while... here is why...

Hi again.

Sorry for my extended silence on this blog.  My excuse is that overall blogging activity is drastically reduced due to becoming a father and starting a business... also we are blogging over at http://thebitheap.blogspot.co.uk/ these days from a business perspective.

I will very occasionally put content here when it is not directly related to our company (bheap), but don't hold your breath :-)

In the meantime, I hope you are well!

Business Startup

So, it is out there in the wild now. I am no longer a full time permanent employee. A colleague and I have started a company and are going to write software and consult. Exciting times.

We will be employing Scala, Akka, iOS and Android, so plenty of bases are covered.

There are all sorts of reasons for us choosing to do this now, including:

- being our own bosses
- pursuing a shared set of philosophies
- prospects for exciting and varied projects
- making some money !

We have had to wear so many hats and pull so many threads in to make it all work, but it has been fun so far. Today we signed our first contract. We can't wait to get to work with our new model.

It is early days yet, (content and styling are placeholders only) but our site is up. Improvements and material to come. We will link in our company twitter details and blog when they are ready.
