Run around now!

So, a few months ago I said I was full on iPhone development as my job hadn't started. Ironically the job started the week after that post. The good news is the new job is great. Really exciting work, very taxing and rewarding. The bad news is it has taken up all my time ever since. Which of course means iPhone is off the table again.

My house is still on the market and not selling. So Justine and I have decided to rent instead until it's sold and get on with our life together. We moved at the weekend and there's boxes everywhere! I've set up a temporary office. My desk is a wardrobe side balanced on 2 PC's and some books. I'm hoping to get some woodwork done at the weekend and make myself a new desk and a big workspace for my electronics which are part of my new job.

The iPhone stuff, although at a stand still, has promise. I've got several people wanting to talk to me about projects both games and specialist apps. I am planning to get into the 9-5 of a normal office day and use my spare time to do the other projects. Oh, and spend plenty of time with Justine and Luke too. Hmmm, I wonder if I can do without sleep? Does anyone know a good suppler of Provigil?

I've also got the new iPhone 4 and I'm loving it. It's soooo much faster than my old 3G and the camera is at last decent enough to compete with other phones. I've not done any dev on it yet to test the speed. I am a little pissed off though that despite not letting people touch it or even breath on it - within 4 days I've got a scratch on the screen. My 3G is 2 years old and not a single scratch on the glass. Oh well.

Anywho, I'd better get on with my paid job. Just stopped for a spot of lunch.
