Nokia!

I'm way too slow at updating this "blog" - I've been working with Nokia now as a trainee for a month and a half. I'm loving it here, and hope to continue to do so beyond the end of my "summer" trainee contract at the end of the year.

I'm working in the IT PMO working on methodologies and processes, so while I'm quite far away from the actual business of making mobile phones, it's great to work in an industry I really enjoy being part of.

The reason I'm posting this right now? They've been telling us trainees that we should keep our online presences really up-to-date. Whoops! At least my twitter gets updated quite regularly, even if it is often flooded with foursquare check-ins...

HalWiki

I've been playing with various things, and have installed MediaWiki on halclive.co.uk as a learning experience. It's amazing how easy they make these packages.

Feel free to go and have a look - though I've not really put any content on there yet, and probably won't.

Helsinki Calling

Well, life has moved on again since I last posted on here. I've made the big step of moving to Helsinki  and look forward to spending many long, happy years here. It's still pretty bloody cold though at this time of year!

I've also made the (not quite so big) step of rebuilding halclive.co.uk; partially to show off some of my web development skills, but also because Blogger no longer does ftp uploads. The current set up is still not ideal as it's not possible to view or make comments on posts from halclive.co.uk, requiring a visit to Blogspot to do so - as such, if I find time I might make a custom system using PHP and MySQL. Any SEO benefits from this would be a bonus...

Either way, welcome to my redesigned and relaunched site - especially if you're a prospective employer!
