Well, I'll be.

It appears that there are Brightonian Slashdotters.

My home of over ten years has made the front page of Slashdot on the same day that I've confirmed that I'll be moving out. I moved there somewhat unwittingly in 1994 to go to University, and grew to love it. I've had many first experiences there (apart from the obvious). All of my erm..psychoactive experiences have taken place there (or near there), I met my future wife there and, best of all,my daughter was born there just under two years ago

We're moving west of there to a lovely little town called Arundel in about six weeks time. This is mainly due to having taken another job in Chichester (here) to replace the woefully underpaid one that I had in Brighton (here) about six months ago, and partly because we'll be moving out of a 1-2 bedroom ground floor flat, in what could be called the arse end of Hove, to a 4-bedroom house for an increase in rent of a scant £95. It may work out a bit more expensive actually as the housing benefit in Brighton is quite generous and pays just under half our rent, but then I'm that much closer to work.

It's not without a pang of regret, mostly for many good time past, that I'm upping sticks and moving, but hopefully the grass will be greener in Arundel. Wish me luck!

Well, here we are nearly six months later :) I'm a little bit older, but not, I fear, any wiser than I was last September when I last wrote anything in here.

I'm in a new job. One which pays qute a bit better, but actually means I have to commute. Hmmm, still not too sure about that, but as we're coming out of winter now, this is a better prospect as I get to come home when it's light.

This job is also quite a bit different, as instead of running around a building supporting lots of Windows machines and 150-odd employees, I'm supporting Linux servers running a bespoke piece of software, mainly over the phone. OH, the company only has around 10 people in it, total. So a bit of a change there as well.

Lots of shit going on, a bit too much to put down right here, right now, but keep an eye and I might just pour some other random scribblings down on here. If ya lucky :)

One day I'll learn how to use the paragraph tags

Honest : )

I've just gotten mod points for the third time in as many weeks. Fortune must be smiling on me in some small way.. I've been reading people's journals for a while now, valuing the insight into a little of the lives of various geeks (most recently Alioth's). And I've now decided to keep one myself. Over the coming months I'll probably regale all two of you reading this with many boring facets of my life, but hey, that's what these things are for, isn't it?
