New Project
One of the reasons for the lack of posts recently has been that I've been quite focused outside of work on a new project/business that I have started. Its going to be an online service with potential revenue generating opportunities (physical products) in the year or so offline.

I'm using the project as a great opportunity to learn about starting a business from scratch and making sure I'm covering off the things I didn't have involvement in when founding AgentArts 5 years ago. Things like business structure, options for future staff, the business' values, the business plan and all the interesting things (and some not so interesting) associated with it.

As its an online service I've been coding the web site, database, PHP pages etc and again have been using it as a chance to skill up on CSS and approaches to building a database driven web site using the best techniques I know and to adapt from the problems I've previously encountered.

All this has meant that my brain cycles have been fairly focused on this new project and not on creative or interesting things to say on my blog. This will change over the next week as I start to get the site live and post some thoughts on it.
