Hi all!

My amazing other half is now taking bookings for home physio visits should you need it. Please help spread the word!

An interesting discussion (argument?) popped in my tweets yesterday in the form of TCP/IP knowledge depth to be able to work at a web company.

That quickly prompted quite a few replies from developers and techs leads of different levels and knowledge, including myself, but none of us asked the question: “for which role?”

My sister sent me these graphics this morning. It couldn’t be more true!

Last Friday was my last day at Betfair! After almost 2 years, I’ve decided a change was needed. I learnt a lot while being at Betfair, both technically and in team working skills. Some might argue that I’m opinionated and grumpy, but I’m just passionate about my job and I certainly grew a lot as an independent developer with my own ideas.

I’m starting straight away after this bank holiday week-end! No time to cool off or become a couch potato, I’m really excited to go to Lovefilm/Amazon next week, and it should be a great place to be!

I’ll have to update my commuting plans, the distance now being roughly 14 miles by bike, but I should be able to do that a couple of times a week without impacting too much my energy levels to be able to still have good week-end focused sessions. The train will have to become my friend a few times a week too, but I also have in mind to restore my mum’s 1974 motorised bike in the future. That should make for a nice little mechanics project, and a new way to get around!
