August Round-Up

Not had much free time recently, in fact didn't get to finish up posting about the Paris trip.

Anyway, we are off to Ireland early Sunday morning. We are flying into Dublin then collecting a rental. We are driving to Belfast, and then on to Derry the first day. Then going to the Giants Causeway and back to Derry the second night. On to Galway for the third night, then on to Killarney for two more nights and then back to Dublin to fly home Friday night.

Should get to see a lot of Ireland an really looking forward to it.

We have been reasonably quiet since the Paris trip, just knocking around home and seeing a few more local sights. Kim and Madison had a "girls weekend" away with friends in London one weekend. I went to the Transformers movie which was cool, although the cartoon was better.

I also finished my contract early at Alstec and moved on to NFU Mutual . Joined a team of 5 other contractors and one permanent staff member on a project to convert an old insurance app into newer technologies. So far, so good. The team is awesome, we all get on really well and outside of Google, you would struggle to get a team of better developers. Two of the guys have written books! It is a 3 month contract which will take me through to November.

NFU is situated just out of Stratford, where William Shakespeare is from. We went there after the interview for a quick look and was really really cool, and will definitely go back for a decent look.

Anyway that's all for now.
