Over the past week I took a bit of a break. Ok it was my birthday and due to strange rules at work I had to use 4.5 days holiday before the end of march. I had carried them from last years and it is not acceptable to use them in the summer for camping trips with the children. Those are the rules that I signed up to.
It was not such a bad thing, I needed a break and helping my other half with her days of dealing with 3 energetic young children is probably as different as different life can get from a quiet thoughtful day programming. A change is as good as a holiday some people say. We managed a weekend away for my birthday and roped in the grandparents to baby sit during that weekend.
All in all a change of pace and time away from the screen made for a nice break.
I didn’t mention I “won” a Nexus One from google at the start of march. They awarded all the developer who had good scores and downloads a free one. It has not arrived yet but hopefully should soon. Having some proper hardware should let me experiment with some more computationally expensive apps.
