So it's been a while

I was messing around on the interwebs today doing that "link-crawling" thing where you just click from page to page looking for interesting shit, and it occurred to me that I hadn't updated this blog in quite some time. I like to pretend that at some stage someone will stumble across this page and be absolutely crushed by the lack of any recent updates. Although this is no doubt nothing more than fantasy, I've decided to make this update about making updates to prevent any unnecessary anguish/suicides.

Since I'm a little light on stuff to talk about, I figure I'll explain what I've been doing in the time since my last update and today. So where to start...

I've been doing a lot of reading, and by a lot I mean an absolutely ridiculous amount of reading. At this point in time I'm reading 4 books simultaneously and they are all non-fiction: you can imagine how boring it is, but it's mostly necessary if I ever want to advance in my career path. The books, for those interested, are:

• AJAX & PHP by Cristian Darie, Bogdan Brinzarea, Filip Chereches-Tosa, and Mihai Bucica
• The PHP Anthology Vol. II by Harry Fuecks
• Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL by Kevin Yank
• Coder to Developer by Mike Gunderloy

It's pretty obvious where I'm heading as a career path. So basically I've been busy as hell reading, learning and attempting to educate myself bit by bit so that I can occassionally bust out some amazingly long words and pretend I know what they mean, like some kind of pretentious parrot. Awesome.

I think I've rambled on enough now, I just wanted to contribute something to this blog to keep it current. At some stage I'll have a poke through the science news I have yet to catch up on and look for some good stuff to poke fun at, since that's what I do because it makes me feel big.
