So im at work. For the record, im working at BACS, which is an interbank thingy. Of note is the fact that im working with a friend of Mels, Rohan, who i aparently met in a bar a couple of years ago. And another guy Brendan, who i worked with about 9 years ago in sydney (at onAustralia).
Tomorrow Nova and i will have been together a year.

pay your hackers well

Nova and i have moved into an apartment in brick lane. Its quite nice, carpeted, warm etc etc.. but novas not in love with it, and its only for a month or so till we can afford to set up a share house of our own.
Novas jobs working out well, and ive just finished a most agreeable little contract in sheffield. It looks like there quite a bit of short term work around, and im talking to an agent about some more.
Im also really enjoying living in a house with no internet and no tv, ive coded an n-tier network simulator which i used to performance tune the system in sheffield. Theres a couple of really nice coffe shops with old school leather couches and wifi access just down road, which is where im writing this from.
