Well, I’m an hour late, but yesterday, owenrudge.net turned 9 years old! Yep, on the 28th of November 1999 I launched “Owen’s Visual Basic Workshop”, which gradually evolved into the site you see today. 🙂

News and suchlike

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog, as I’ve been quite busy lately (well, that’s not new now, is it?). Anyway, note to self: owenrudge.net is 9 years old on Friday! Nearly the big 1-0!

So what have I been up to? Well, academic work of course – my senior honours project planning has been going on, and specification documents have been written up. Ents work too – I’ve been appointed Technical Co-ordinator for the year, which is nice, but a bit of extra work! I’ve also been in the process of job-hunting, which has gone quite well – I have a job offer from CodeWeavers, working on Wine, which should hopefully all go well – the plan would be to move to Minnesota once visas are sorted (which is hopefully going to be October 2009, or October 2010 at the latest), and until then, work remotely like I did this summer in Summer of Code. I’m rather excited about this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to working on Wine again. 🙂

There’s probably much more to mention, but I have a meeting to get to in the next 5 minutes or so. So briefly: I’ve been playing Left 4 Dead, Valve’s new zombie thriller, which is quite enjoyable. I also attended a couple of Sigur Rós’s UK concerts recently, which were both rather excellent – very nice to see them live at long last.

Right, time to go…
