London calling, put through to answer phone
Well its been awhile since my last post (2 years almost!) and allot has changed since then. Its quite easy just to forget about it as my site will automatically just remove the link to my blog (if there hasn’t been any new posts for 6 months) as it assumes I am dead or something!
Since my last post I’ve finished my work placement year, finished my dissertation and graduated from uni, moved out of London back to the country (in farmers accent), I have settled down in a full time job as a PHP Developer (welcome to work for the rest of my life!) and I have switched from PC to Mac (didn’t much like the sound of Vista). That’s 2 years of life summed up in a paragraph!
Seems odd that I didn’t just stay in London, but after working in Oxford Circus for a year I was put off by the hustle and bustle of getting crammed onto a train/tube twice a day, so I opted for the country way of life! And just when I thought I had gotten away from London I have been working on the London Green500 website for the last few months, that’s a bit of irony for you.
The website is based on OO-PHP5 and the Zend Framework, traditionally I have been brought up PHP4 and its quite a change, but when you get your head around it, it makes allot of sense. As it eventually makes it allot faster to code things (or slower in some cases!) as modules and functions get pushed into a thing called the “Framework” which you can reuse in any project you like.
I suspect my posts will get more techie as time goes on, but that’s for another day.
