Well, it's a pun on "Wandering Minstrel", because I'm wondering what's up with the Internet connection at work today.

Yesterday and today I've been off work with pharyngitis. Last night I had a quiet evening with my beloved for Valentine's Day.

Full steam ahead on this venture of mine. I have now modified the database to accept user information, descriptions, and customised link names (up to 8 characters – we're keeping the links small, remember?), and so on.

I've just launched the beta of my new project, ncane.com. ncane is a Zulu word meaning "small". Check it out. It generates a small URL based on a 6-character random value.

Feeling better today.

I’m having a bad day today.

I don't have any New Year's Resolutions, except perhaps to enjoy 2006. Happy New Year to everyone who reads this. I trust that 2006 will bring you what you deserve. If not, there's always 2007 :-).

2009-04-07 – UPDATE! Check out "Ex-Human Pin Code Insider Speaks Out" for a juicy update to this saga.

Slow going at the office, but I've been given a brief and I'm working on it. Slow, because I need to fix a tool that synchronises data across two enterprise software packages, and I'm still waiting for a test environment to be set up. That's happening tomorrow. For those of you who know me well, the sync tool incorporates COM+ technology, and you'll know why that's funny.

Potato prints make an impression. This month, my mission is to be the potato, at least where work is concerned. I started my new job on 1 December, so this is my third day. Any company takes a big risk hiring someone based on just their CV, interview skills and references. So of course, I'd like to prove to them that I'm worth it, and more.
