A few changes

Well, the last month has been a bit insane, and I know I’ve been pretty quiet here. Just a quick update:

First, I’ve been trying to finish my degree and have been wrestling with my final paper which is due next Wednesday. I’ve learnt a lot in the process, especially patience, and how to deal with an insane amount of stress. I can’t wait for that phase in my life to be over. There’s been a lot going on at work too (I’m a Network Engineer in the real world) which has been pretty stressful and tiring.

Second, some big exciting news! I’ve been picked up by The Next Web to do some freelance feature work for the guys. They’re awesome, and I’m totally humbled to have a space/audience to write the feature pieces I’ve been wanting to do. Very grateful to the guys for giving me the opportunity. TNW is pretty much going for world domination, and it’s thrilling to be a part of it.

It’s exciting, so watch this space. I’m not sure what’s happening with Neowin, I’m likely to be doing just freelance work for them here on out too; I’ll miss my News Editor gig, but it’s exciting to be doing something new.

Anyway, I’m hoping to be writing here more often again once my degree is wrapped up and I can sit down and breathe for a little while. See ya’ll then.
