So I came back from holidays and started in a new team. In the same firm, building and floor – but different team, now I’m doing UI Engineer for Automation. Team are awesome but it’s straight into the work and getting up to speed. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
with all the changes I undertook last year, I’m not going to surprise anyone by saying this year for me is about ticking off a few technical goals, gaining some personal development on the agile plain and generally grabbing some code by the scruff of it’s ‘neck’ and knocking it into shape.

As part of our Lean Lunch videos on a Wednesday we watched this. Everyone should watch it, because we all need to see how we could do it too. Caroline even leant me her copy of the book!
Made a beautiful discovery today whilst wrestling with a couple of Umbraco projects. Got one into TFS and going to put the other into Github, maybe.
So trying to do some relatively simple jQuery today had myself and an expert colleague scratching our heads. A pop-up activates, no problem. It has two buttons.
