Coming out of Winter hibernation

Happy New Year and I hope everyone is having a great 2010 so far!

If you know me through any medium such as my blog, Twitter, Facebook, email or through events like the Edinburgh TechMeetup you probably haven't seen me update or communicate for a while.

Well over winter I pretty much went into hibernation mode. I've been playing a lot of Eve-Online and not doing any freelance work - pretty much ignoring anyone and everyone who has been in contact. But I had my reasons.

2009 was a bit of a crappy year to be honest.

In the whole year I never had a proper holiday, I was overworked and underpaid and this meant no chance to just unwind and de-stress.

So at the end of the 2009 I decided to take the time to just do this.

Between things like my girlfriend being diagnosed with penetrative Crohn's (they said it was cancer at first) which meant her going through major surgery - to my laptop breaking and not being able to afford to replace it (and I still haven't as of yet) - it just felt like everything that could go wrong, did.

But now we're just over half way through January and I've decided it's time to finally come out of the cave of despair, get back into working and look forward to 2010.

So as of now I'm contactable again. I'm actively looking for some extra freelance stuff - especially PHP or Android development - so I can afford to get myself a new PC and look at saving up for a holiday this year.
