How on earth is everyone??
Yo! So what have you been up to?


Hey!

Quite a lot actually.  Where do I start?  I honestly cannot remember when I left the bar it was so long ago!

I gave up the recording studio business to become a Dad and never really got back to the music thing in a big way but would like to in the future when time permits.  Unfortunately the relationship with Erins mum broke down so we called it a day about 5 years ago.  I see Erin a lot though (few times a week) so whilst it isn't ideal I've got an amazing daughter I love more than life itself.  Being a Dad is just so, so cool.

I still have a lot of the old music gear kicking around in various states of disconnectedness.  Paired the kit right back now though and just base it around the old MOTU Traveler I bought in 2006 ish I think it was.  I've also gone dual platform in that I have a MacBook Pro and an iPad as well as PCs these days!  Darkside! ;)

I moved around working for a few different companies in that time as well and eventually went to being a self-employed contractor writing .NET software.  When I wasn't contracting I started a couple of photography businesses.  You can see some of that work here http://www.lenssniper.com/ and here http://primarycolourphotography.com/.  I also got into doing some film work and worked on a couple of short films and TV ads as a camera op.

Still do bits and pieces of photography but these days I'm primarily working for my own business.  I'm the technical director for the company and we're building a niche social networking platform aimed at helping people with mental health issues.  We've just signed contracts with our first client which is really exciting.  That's taken about 2.5 years to get to where we are but it all seems to be coming together.

I also work for another company that specialises in the R language.  I look after all their .NET architecture and development work as they're primarily a Java house so I get to work pretty autonomously.

Sure there's stuff I've left out but that pretty much sums it up.
