Dude! where you been all month…

Sorry about this I’m working two blogs, I had to get another job, I’ve been working on for projects at home and I’m still skint and in need of a government handout.

Apart from that I’m fine how are you?

The past two and a bit weeks I’ve been working in Bristol again, the only funky thing to report is working on a Google maps thingy with Jquery, I’m just waiting for the design guy to finish coloring it in and then I might nick the css and show you all here :-)

I’m working on a new version of Dodge, still only a point release but a huge improvement.

I’m keeping busy, more as it happens…

A day of updates…

WordPress Update to 2.8, atahualpa update to 3.3.3 and the best one XNA update to 3.1 Avatars and Video :-D

Also we are now working on “Xbox LIVE Indie Games” it’s better that “Xbox LIVE Community Games” but the sooner they drop the LIVE thing the better we’ll all be.

Any-who off to bed now it’s my last day at this job tomorrow :-)

Sorry if this post is a little on the random side but I’m very sleepy.

Falling behind again…

Well as allways I keep forgetting to post here, and that’s not good.

Tonight I had another great train journey. I normaly get home around 7:45pm, after the train was held outside my stop for an hour . I got in my car to find I had left the lights on dipped and now had no power, I might have cryed if I wasn’t so manly, once wife had rescued me and we drove home it was around 9:20pm, this dosenot make for a good night for coding.

I’ll try and do some code or a tutorial by the end of the week, don’t laugh!
