Same choices, diffrent outcome

Not to overshadow the fact Ben actually posted something here (Fuck, he posted something!) but I’ve come to a decision in my life that I think probably deserves at least something resembling a blog entry. I’m going to quit university for this year. Am I dropping out altogether? Probably not, I’ll re-enrol for next year. So why on earth am I doing it? Well, even most of those that know me REAL well don’t know I’m currently in the process of starting a company. It’s nothing to do with gaming and not really of any interest to the Gaming/Half-Life community, so I won’t be going in to details here (and also of course the company isn’t launched, can’t be giving away industry secrets now!). Suffice it to say that those things have taken a priority over my degree course which is/was going to take many more years and currently isn’t very rewarding.

What does this mean for Wavelength? Well I’m going to now be focusing more of my energy on this company, but as part of this company is a fairly complex and involved PHP backend system. Once that code is finished a fair amount of it can probably be used to power Wavelength, and the experience gained from creating the system will help me hopefully finish off the rest with ease.

To summarise: I quit university for this year. Starting company. Possibly good for Wavelength.

I am not dead; I am more alive then before.

I am moving in with Justine on Saturday.

I’ve been working at a young networking hardware/software company for the past 5 months. I enjoy what I do but it takes most of my time and I am on call 24/7.

I apologize for not posting in many months but I’ve been busy and I’ve only had the chance to post because I am sick and decided to stay home today.

Everything else is going well, I am going on vacation to the Domican Republic in 2 weeks for my brother’s wedding.

I just bought the Motorcycle Diaries but I have yet to read past the introduction.
