Is it me or does it feel as though Christmas was only a few weeks ago? I was going to start this blog post with something along the lines of - a new year, a new blog - then I realised it was flippin’ March already!

Well, when I say new blog, what I really mean is there was a new version of WordPress and I was eager to update. I duly took backups of the old blog but found when trying to get WP 2.7 running off a 2.6 database with the new config elements it was getting to be a right pain so I thought - sod it - what’s three years of blog posts anyway. Maybe one day I’ll reimport the old posts, then again, maybe not.

On the tech side things are jumping on Twitter these days. You can follow me here http://twitter.com/fatherfil - you’ll also find a lot of the old Vagusnet and GameGuru regulars on there too, including Paul, Duncan and Gareth.

In fact, we’re all getting back together, in a different guise, as we launch our new project - TheGamesCast (@thegamescast) - Gareth now works for a very good PR company who we adore lots! Follow @thegamescast on twitter to be kept up to date with how we’re doing as the launch date gets ever closer.

Looking forward we’ve got the GadgetShow Live coming up in April which hopefully Paul, Duncan and I will be attending and then in June we’ve got E3, which we won’t be attending - something to do with having to pay our own air fare. Maybe next year! Something to aim for though isn’t it.

In the day job things are getting very busy. A hugely influential project is about to hit crunch stage as we prepare a big new feature and also a really rather big product-wide project coming up right behind that. We’re working with Bournemouth University and for that I’ve got a few meetings in London to attend. Keep a check on twitter to see when I’m up and if you’re in the city then let me know and we’ll meet up. Especially if you want to talk gaming. If not, then let’s meet up anyway and I can bore you with it.

As for football, well I’ll leave it at that.
