Life
Last days in Croatia which was amazing. Met up with someone From The Internet which was fun! Did a bit of shopping etc. I need to go back again for a longer trip. One awesome thing that happened: I was in an art gallery of amazing paintings that are painted on glass, layer by layer. The woman said I was the first person to come in and spend a long time gazing at the art, and that she wanted to give me a present. She gave me a beautiful coffee table book.
Back in the UK I am back to my hermit-like existence of working and working out.
Work
Lots to do! Just cracking on and doing it. My personal projects pretty much ended up on hold in June because I had so much client work on, trying to get back to them. There are too many things right now within sight of shipping… but not shipped.
The good news is: when I launched the workshop I set a revenue goal that would make it a worthwhile experiment, and it hit that this week. An anonymous benefactor sponsored some copies for students/underemployed, and the last one of those was given away.
It’s July so I’m blogging again!
I’m speaking at iOS Dev Camp DC.
