It’s been a while since my last update, sorry about that!

The last month has seen many things: Becca starting her job at Greenacre School, us collecting a van load (yes, literally) of mine and my Dad’s belongings, collecting wedding photos and going quad biking for Becca’s birthday, buying Becca a bike and getting out on them (occasionally), passing my probation period at work and getting a contract, Becca’s brother Kieran and his girlfriend Becca (yes, it gets confusing!) are starting at Uni this month at Newcastle and Huddersfield respectively and … I think that’s enough in one sentence!!

Another highlight was visiting the Black Sheep Brewery at Masham and enjoying a very nice lunch accompanied by a very clean pint of Emmerdale. With a tour of the village after, I found an excellent sweet shop selling home made fudge off the block, I had to get some!! They even had black sheep ale fudge! I went for more conservative choices and very enjoyable it was too.
On a more geeky angle, I’ve moved our home broadband over to Zen Internet and we are now enjoying a reasonably priced service with good support to back it up. I’m also in the middle of migrating my websites over to a new UK based server, Chris‘ server Baldrick that is. My blog is already on the new server and I hope that you will have noticed a speed improvement!

Work is going well with a large project I’ve been working on almost since my start date nearly out of the door. I have recently been researching dedicated servers as we are looking at consolidating out hosting onto one machine as well as working and experimenting further with PHP5’s exception handling, the Zend Framework, SOAP as well as various other little tasks. I would quite like to start an engineering type of blog for the company to keep a track of various technical discoveries I make / solutions I find. It could be useful for somebody!
