Well, it’s been a while, and finally I have some news. From April I will be moving to London to take up an IA position with uSwitch.com.

Obviously I’m delighted – it seems like a great company with a good understanding of UCD and some big plans for the future. I’m also looking forward to being a Londoner, although it’s taken me many years to warm to the idea. I still have research to do – a place to live, learning where to go, and so on. But I have the first step already covered (see left).

As for Nottingham, I’ll miss it, but it’s time to move on. Invites for my leaving do (6 April) have been sent out by email – if you’d like to join us, check your Inbox or email me for details.

Aside from the job hunt, I must confess I’ve been putting Final Fantasy XII above blogging right now. It’s as impressive as it is hard. Honestly, FF games really haven’t ever been all that difficult (I just re-completed VIII in about 25 hours) so I suppose it’s good to see the challenge ramped up a bit. But, equally, I play games to relax and it’s doing quite the opposite. If I die to Elder Wrym again I may end up throwing the damn thing out of the window. And yes, yes, my characters are clearly too low in level (average 23), but I know I can beat it. Once I do that, the celebrations can really begin.
