As Time Goes By

It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been with the new company for a month already. And things are still going well.

Over the last month I’ve managed to get so much done, and sorted – all the demo pages have been completed, all the CSS works, everything is cross-browser and cross-platform, and everyone’s really pleased with it. Over the next couple of months I’m now going to be transmuting it from a bunch of demo pages into a working proof-of-concept, which is going to be – well – interesting, to say the least. I’ve a lot of ideas on stuff I want to add in and get working, so there’s still going to be shedloads of stuff to get on with.

I find it amazing how much my mood has improved simply by leaving CrapCo and starting to do the work I enjoy again. The last month has zipped past at an unbelievable rate, and I still feel optimistic and generally cheerful about what I’m doing. Well, unless it’s “rebuilding the PC”, but that seems to be OK for the moment. And if I really need to run Linux at the moment, I’ll do it off a CD. Actually, that’s something I may be playing with next week – we’ll see.

I’ve stayed in touch with one person from CrapCo, and happily it sounds like they’re still the same bunch of incompetent bastards. Recently they’ve double-paid a bunch of invoices from last year, to the tune of £250,000 or so. To coin a phrase, “Oops”.
