Checking in…

My first semester back at University is almost complete, only two assignments (both completed) to hand in and then I’m done!  This semester has been quite easy, I’ve had to do 6 assignments in total, 4 in Java and 2 in .Net.  All the projects have been to create some kind of application, be it for a company who’s employee hierarchy resembles a pyramid scheme but overall nothing too hard.  At the end of it all, I can say I know Java, which opens the way for some Android development when the GooglePhone/Nexus One comes to the UK.

A couple of posts back I said I would learn C++ whilst learning Java.  I can honestly say this never happened, however I don’t see learning the language a challenge anymore.  One day I will finally get to program something in this language but I wont be going out of my way to do something in it.

A new year has forced me to get back into a exercise regime again.  So far I’ve been good and eventually I might be able to report some losses or gains.  My goal at the moment is to try and stay the same weight but lose some fat in exchange for muscle.

Onto work… The new year saw me working from home for the first time thanks to the weather (constant snow since Christmas).  A very different experience compared to working in a office (how do people work from home?) I will not miss it.  We have started a couple of new projects, both based in PHP using SOAP connected to a MySQL database, Good fun!.  Negotiated a pay rise over MSN :) and a bag of holidays left to take.

Thats it for now.
