New Job

Today I resigned from my current job, because I have accepted a new job in Brighton, working for Runtime Collective. They seem more into the idea of open source than SMT were. Their main product is an open sourced content management system written in Java. It seems their main source of income is selling support, hosting and customised versions. They are based right down on the seafront; about 50 metres from the beach and opposite the best pub in Brighton. :)

I'll be joining as a member of their support team. For those interested, the geeky details of the job can be found in the job advert. They have already mentioned to me about doing debian packaging for the CMS. They are also interested at doing corporate GNOME desktops.

As SMT haven't given me a contract after 6 months and the new company are desperate to get me started as soon as possible, I've given SMT a week's notice. They wanted me to start on the 15th, but I've said to them that I'll start on the 22nd so I have time to search for somewhere to live. For at least the first week I'll be staying in the youth hostel, which is two doors down from the offices. I'm looking for a 2 bedroom flat to rent in the North Laines area. I really want to live close to the city centre and near the trendy area. I'm fed up with living in the middle of nowhere, driving everwhere and not drinking.

I think I'm going miss lots of people and places, so you are all welcome to come visit me and I know I'll be back lots, especially to the Soundhaus which has very quickly become my favourite haunt on a Saturday night. I hope I can find somewhere just as good in Brighton.
