New Challenges

Toby — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:31:51 +0000

So today I did one really sucky thing and one really awesome thing;

The really sucky thing was handing in my notice at my current role at Team Solutionz, I really enjoyed my time there and thoroughly loved working along side a bunch of talented and fun people.

I have never had to hand in notice in a real job before (I am not including part time shop work etc) and it wasn’t pleasant, but the company were understanding and supportive, which was excellent.

The really awesome thing was accepting a job offer at Pierce Communications, I will be joining their Internet Marketing team as a developer working for some pretty cool clients in order to give them a kick-ass web presence. I am excited to take up this new challenge and I am really looking forward to learning new skills and working with some excellent people.

These recent developments have re-ignited my love for the web so hopefully I will get back into the way of posting here more often!

Team Solutionz Is Hiring

The company I work for is looking for an awesome PHP developer, if you are an awesome PHP developer and live in Northern Ireland (we are based in Antrim) and are looking for a job, get in contact.

All the standard stuff applies, you need to be good and not be an arse.

All the staff at Team Solutionz are great and they are a fantastic company to work for, and on top of that you would get to work along side me, which I know would be a dream come true for so many people. So get your applications in!

Not Another Blog

Toby — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:56:33 +0000

Personally speaking I barely have room on my RSS reader for any more web development / design blogs and I am running out of hours in the day to give all of the content I receive a proper read, so why would I dare to think that adding my own little stream of bloggy goodness into the fold is going to do anything other than get ignored after the first 10 minutes of me spamming it on twitter?

Well the short answer is because I can, with the wonders of wordpress and a decent hosting company I had the space made, the domain bought and paid for and the blog installed in literally 30 minutes (and that included checking my emails, other general internetting and changing a record on my eld vinyl player).

The slightly longer answer is that I have wanted to create something like this for a very long time, I love what I do and I have found that I like to write about things I love to do. The main issue I have is that I love to do a lot of things, which means I love to write about a lot of things, which means I have my fingers in many pies, which means I often waste evenings doing things on no consequence on some of my smaller sites. This all changed however when somehow I managed to convince the directors in my work that allowing me to write a web development blog would be an excellent objective for the year – which gave me an excellent incentive to actually do it.
