It’s been ages since I posted anything on my blog and in fact anybody who stumbled upon it would think it was simply another place to see my tweets.

The reason for no posts lately is a mix of throwing myself into my job and not really being sure how much I can and should blog about work, and I’m actually still not sure, but I figure as long as I don’t spill any state secrets or break any NDAs I should be okay.

I’ve a pretty long way in the year or so since I got the job, most notably my php has gone from “what does that do?” to being the one my boss comes to when a client wants to know what the options for a project are, how easy they are to achieve and how long it will take.

Ofcourse anyone who knows anything about php will know there’s a lot to learn and a lot of possibilities, so in reality I’ve only gone from ignorant to competant (sp?), so there is still a lot more to learn which excites, scares and frustrates me all at the same time.

Besides an encourgaging growth in skills, I also feel I’m slowly becoming a voice inside the company whose opinion matters. Ofcourse if in a small company your opinion doesn’t matter after after 13 months your doing something wrong, but really that side of things has gone better than I could have hoped.

I would obviously be delighted to continue to add some of my personality into that of the company, although more importantly and more realistic is the hope that I may have a very real inpact on how the company approaches projects, since envitably with a small company, exactly how the company approaches projects is still very much influx.
