Forward Thinking
August 24th, 2011 - Life
It's been a fair few weeks since an update so I thought I'd share what has been going on in my domain. The top secret Android app I have been building has finally launched, I've managed to get a great job in Camden, London and even managed to write a blog post about a technology I'd been used for a few weeks called Sass.
The Next Step
June 26th, 2011 - Life
As of June 17th (last Friday) I am longer enrolled in any form of formal education. I ended up getting a strong 1st (80%!) on my course and there last three years were definitely the best so far.

Radio silence once again due to University work and job commitments, hopefully I'll be able to post a new pieces of work to the portfolio once they go live. Good news on the academic side: my Maya project got 78% overall, so a nice 1st for the module! One more exam to go on Software Engineering and thats me for the year.

November 9th, 2009 - Life
Once again it's been a long time since the last update, but to frank I haven't have that much to write about as of yet.
