Mobile Developer

The past few weeks have been real bliss.  I’m really enjoying my new contract.

One of my goals in finding a contract this time was to stay out of London.  I’ve had enough of the London commute with its delayed trains and crowded tubes.  So, in my new job I commute three days a week (working from home two days) on my motorbike.  I’m working in two different locations about an hour away—but on country roads.  Each morning, I pack up my laptop, strap it to my back, and ride to one of the client offices.

My work has been all Silverlight so far.  I love getting stuck in a new language.  I’m having flashes of insight as to how to do cool things while I’m out running or taking a shower.  It’s a novelty and heavy on the brain.

I still wake up early, but my morning time is spent with meditation and running (and surfing around reading up on technology).

Life is going well.
