So I handed in my resignation today. It’s amazing how free I feel now.

Friends I’ve talked to recently, and previous readers of this site, will know that on 23rd June I am flying to Honduras to work for 3-months on a scientific project in the rainforest. My official title is Computer Systems Manager for Operation Wallacea, where my role is to simply set up computer networks at the two Honduran sites, then maintain them for the duration of the project. When I originally volunteered to work for Op Wall I asked to be a jungle-assistant-type-person, but alas they saw my CV and decided I was more valuable working with the computers. Oh well. It is still going to be incredibly fun and interesting, and there will be a lot more to do out there as general logistics staff.

Anyway, back to the point of this post. Originally I had intended to return after the summer to work at Act e-learning, but following the recent acquisition of the "product division" by Vantage Technologies I have been unhappy with the work.

As luck would have it I was recently offered a job in London. I can’t say much about it at the moment, but as of 1st October I will be based in Windsor working on a very interesting, and big project, that will actually involve some elements from my Artificial Intelligence degree. If — sorry, when — we pull it off it will be a hell of an achievement!!
