Apologies for the lack of posts...

Life's been hectic recently. So here's a rather whistle-stop round-up of the good things:
  • I'm taking baby steps towards project management at work -- had a pre-project meeting and started writing the technical specification for a (very small) project last week. Great experience for the portfolio/CV.
  • I finished the website I've been designing/coding/etc for Micah Mobile Ministries. It was a bit of a struggle to fit in with all the blogging and writing stuff, but I really enjoyed doing it, and it was a great charity to have some small involvement with. First site for my portfolio...
  • The Office Diet is now up to 69 RSS subscribers and over 15,000 hits since the launch Jan 1st. I've not sent out any more book proposals, but I'm planning on pitching it to some editors at the Winchester Writers' Conference in June.
  • Daily Writing Tips have asked me to do three "feature" posts (at $50 each) :-) I actually suspect they'll be easier to write than the "awhile vs a while" type ones I've been doing, which I have to research quite a bit -- though I'm learning a lot from the process.

I think those are the main highlights! I'm in Oxford for the first May bank holiday weekend, and looking forward to seeing the family (why is it I appreciate them all so much more now I've moved away from home...?)
