2010 so far has been quite hard on me. Business has almost dried up thanks to the last waves of the financial crisis, coupled with the general elections held in April – general election years always start slow. So for the last 4 months I had no contract at all, only vague promises, maybes and…

Lessons of the last 6 months
Image by roland.hesz via Flickr It’s been a long time since I have last written here – I don’t really count the last two posts, and even if I did, 2 posts in 3 months is not that much. Anyway, kind of back, but still not completely – and it’s not lack of time, more…
Unveiling my new hobby
Long time no see. Yes it has been a quite time, I more or less went “underground” for the last two months, but I was working on that little thing you see on the left. Right, click on it. So that’s it. Company up and running, and I had to put the website together too….
A long week, but it did worth it
Image by roland.hesz via Flickr In the finish. Today I have signed every possible paper the lawyer could find, and with this, I have officially started my company – Palmtree Software Development Ltd. The name was a tough cookie – honestly, although people told me that picking the name will be the least of my…
Another Zag
OK, so for the last one year my life has been a constant zig-zag, from the plan to go and work in the UK to the postponing of that move for the MSCI Barra offer, through the early cut off of that contract and the being unemployed, then joining the Yazix project, and now, after…
One month of silent
It was a lot – being unemployed can put a cramp on one’s mood that’s sure. Even when you have a project to work on, there is that small detail that you actually has no income and you just watch your saving ever so slowly melt away. So it can put a bit of a…
A new position
Today I have joined the yazix project which seems to be a promising and interesting endeavour. Actually I am already enjoying it immensely, it has a lot of possibilities as a product, and for me gives a chance to try myself in a slightly different role – beside the original BA/SA one which I will…
Flying in a whirlwind
The thing is that we are living in tough times. And under we I mean myself specifically this time. It is a hurricane, and I can tell you I am getting dizzy from the continuous spinning. As it happened, end of last November MSCI Barra terminated the fix term contract a tad bit – 2…
Happy birthday Karen Swim!
A rare post, but then, Karen deserves it. We met almost a year ago – somewhere in the middle of February – and when you still keep in touch with someone you know only through the net after a year, that means there is some kind of value. I would like to say Thank You…
Looking back at 2008
I think that 2008 was one of those years that I can call something like a “milestone” in my life. For the better or worse, I don’t know, but I really learned a few things. I quit my job to pursue the goal of getting a new job abroad, with all that comes with it…
