I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and all the best for 2010.  I hope that it proves to be a productive and successful year for you all.

I hope to get myself more motivated in 2010 and make 2010 a good year and work for me.  In this aim I hope to post a good few new blog entries on here over the next year and I’ve got a few in the pipeline already including a wordpress plugin I’m developing and moving Manage My Alerts over to Symfony 1.3/1.4 and I hope the entries I post are of use to you.

Once again I would like to wish you a Happy New Year and all the best for 2010.

Over the weekend I launched our newest site, The Weekly Whinge, which was set up as a place for me to vent my frustration and generally just rant and complain about life. As it has only just been launched my whinge list is relatively small so far but I’m finding ideas all over the place, on the way to work, out doing the Christmas shopping (it is probably best that I do not start on that one or I will never end), even with just updating this blog so I am sure there will be many more additions to The Weekly Whinge before long.

Back in February 2009 I treated myself to a Resident Evil XBOX 360 Elite from Game and in all honesty I haven’t really played it much. It’s only been on maybe 10 days since I’ve bought it but I’ve got a bit more time of my hands these days so I’m starting to play it more and I’ve noticed that is sounds like a hoover when you’re playing a game.

I’m usually playing my XBOX at night and I have to keep the TV volume down so the audio is instantly drowned out by the noise of the XBOX and I would actually go as far as saying that my hoover is quieter than the XBOX (that may be a slight exaggeration but not by much!) so there isn’t that much that I would consider “Elite” about this XBOX.

After about a year since the inital meeting regarding creating a website for the Dunscore Community Council, I can proudly announce that the website has now been successfully launched.

The project was initially to create a website focused around the Community Council  but during the last year it has expanded it’s scope to encompass the Village of Dunscore as a whole and provide a central point for information not only regarding council business, but local business, events and activities as well.

The website has been very well received by all involved within the project and I look forward to a bright and successful future.

I have decided to give blogging another try and as I know that I won’t be able to refrain from talking shop I have made the consious decision not to even try and stop myself from talking shop but I hope to bring in some non-shop talk as well.

So with this attempt I have just created this blog, installed my top 5 essential wordpress plugins and have now just said “hello world” once again! but so far the world has not said hello back

I hope you will find something interesting in my blog (once I actually write something) and of course all comments as welcome.
