happy new year one and all. we spent new year in saalbach, austria and had a great time, thanks. lots of snow and it seems we were lucky as there was bugger all then we got there and looks like there's pretty much bugger all again now. anyway all good for us!

loads of work going on. getting some more suppliers integrated into uswitch's car insurance product, it's also appraisal time so lots of meetings to attend. even managing to get some vertex stuff done in my spare time, at last, hurrah.

inversion of control is doing my head in - there is so much stuff I really need to fully learn and put into practice. I've got loads of ideas and theory but when it comes to getting it into my work - cor, its quite tricky isn't it?

stuff I really need to learn and understand asap...

castle (windsor, active record, monorail), spring (.net), hibernate (n-) oh and too many of martin fowler's (nice beard) articles to mention.

2007 is the year though. oh yes.

back at work briefly

Check out uSwitch.com for the fruits of my labour for the past couple of months. Obviously not me on my own but I like to think I contributed a lot to getting this done and out of the door on time. Well it was my project.

Christmas has come and gone in a flash. Round tour of the UK was hectic - we spent Sat/Sun morning in Blackburn (nice 1st class train ride up on Friday night after work - highly recommended way to travel the country) at Em's parents then back down to London Sunday afternoon to go out for a drink with Abby, Owen and Mum to Abby's new local in Walton. Down to Dad's in Poole on Monday morning for far too much to eat and drink. Had a nice walk yesterday in the cold and mud, more to drink, more tv then it was back home last night and into work today.

Looking forward muchly to some snowboarding in Austria for new year. Looks nice there today...
