Trying to set a good example...

A few days ago, someone pointed out that I never seem to blog much (well, excluding the weekly stuff in Four Black Pegs and a few other development bits and pieces). It's a good point - the last post in this blog was over a month ago. I expect that you could do some kind of psychoanalysis of it... what kind of person codes a blog system, and then hardly ever posts to it. Probably means that I've got ADHD or something, who knows?

Anyway, things of vague interest that have happened recently (just in case you're someone that I don't see much, and are reading this to find out what I'm up to). Part time working is going OK - workload isn't entirely consistent, but I'm making enough money each month to be better off than I was before I started. Doing an interesting little project to do with eBay at the moment (pulling stuff out of their database using XML-RPC (sort of)). Pretty much done with that (it was only, like, a two hour thing), but some of the stuff that I've learnt for it will come in useful for a little req.co.uk project I'm going to do shortly.

One thing that I do need to sort out is some kind of business name - problem is that all of the cool sounding names are stuff like "Thingy Networks" or "Something Systems", which won't really work as whilst I'm doing programming and networking, I'm also hoping to deliver some training, so I need a name that would work for that to do. Any suggestions? Leave a comment below (as I always say in the Mastermind newsletter!).
