What a night and what a come back. I’m still in shock and really can’t believe what went on. 
I’m a Liverpool fan through and through, and its really great to see them back in the reckoining again. I just hope that they’re allowed to defend the trophy next year - it just seems a little weird that the winners may not be able to go down fighting. If only I didn’t have so much work on at the moment, otherwise I’d be looking to celebrate in a big way.
On Sunday, I leave for Taiwan - I don’t know whether I’m looking forward to the flight or not just yet. It should be alright though. Hopefully Computex will bring some good things for bit-tech, you’ll be the first to know anything of interest that we come across. 
I’ve got a date for picking up my keys - it’s the day I get back from Taiwan. However, it looks like I might have to wait for my internet connection and phone line - Bulldog said 4-6 weeks… I really hope it isn’t that long, as I’ve got work to be getting on with during that time. No internet means that I’ve got limited chances to upload content to the site. I’ve not even got bluetooth on my phone at the moment, so I couldn’t access the net via bluetooth/GPRS.
After I’ve picked my keys up, I’m off to San Francisco for a couple of days… by the time I get back I should be pretty jet-lagged. Hopefully it won’t last for too long, as I’ve got to move house when I get back.
I’m really looking forward to telling you guys about some of the upcoming products, and all I can say is that there’s going to be some very cool stuff happening in the industry in the next month or so. I can’t wait til I can tell you guys more - it’s frustrating that I can’t say anything. But, my lips are sealed for now. 
I might get the chance to update this before I leave for Taiwan, if not, I’ll see you on the other side.
I’ve heard a few people asking me why I’ve not been updating my blog recently…. well, I’ve had a lot to be getting on with over the past couple of weeks. My birthday was an interesting one - that took out a good portion of the following week too, as the hangover was really that bad.
I think I’m getting too old to drink these days. Maybe I’ll start drinking alcohol free beer before long (Urgh!). Maybe not.
The week after that, we finally launched the new-look bit-tech. People are afraid of change, and many of our regulars were afraid of the new design. I think that many of them have come round now, but there are always a few who have nothing but criticism for a design that is already showing its benefits. It’s interesing that most of our forum users are using the default skin, despite many people complaining about the colours, too. We’ve been through just about all of the issues that were raised behind closed doors, so we’d almost prepared answers for the obvious fear of change that was bound to follow the launch.
This month I’ve been busy with SLI, as I have been for a while now. I’ve come up with a lot of things that were left unanswered in the articles that I’ve already seen on the net, so hopefully some of that will give some more interesting insights in to the way that SLI works. I’ve also got some other things going on behind the scenes with bit-tech too, I can’t really talk about them all that much, but it’s some seriously cool stuff.
I’ve also submitted my first magazine commission this week, which I’m really chuffed about - it looks like I’ve finally got my name in to print!
I found it pretty hard to get everything required in to such a short space, but I think I did a pretty good job of it. I was certainly happy with what has to be the shortest review I’ve ever written - I think I covered everything I wanted to say in the 400-words limit that I had. I’ve got a shorter one coming up soon though, so that should prove to be even more interesting. Hehe.
Today, I went and spoke to my manager at work, telling them that I’d be dropping my hours from their current 23 hours, down to 8 hours, to allow me to focus more time on the things that I really enjoy doing.
Afterall, Tesco was never going to be a career for me, despite it looking likely when I started studying for a Retail Management degree. What a bad idea that was. I don’t regret it though, the girls were gorgeous.
Oh, and before I forget… I’ve finally found myself a new house. Well, actually it’s a flat to tell the truth. I’ll be moving in to after I get back from Computex on the 6th June. It’s near the canal, and I’m really happy with it. It’s right next to all of the important things, with several pubs within staggering distance. Good good, I’m really looking forward to moving there.
I’ll hopefully update this again before too long. I really need to find more time to update it, much like I really need to find more time to play Gran Tourismo 4. Hopefully the last few weeks will not be the typical length of time it takes me to write an update.
Take care.
