Too often I come across bad code, and I just wanted a little repository to keep it all, just to remind me of days that weren't so great.

I have spent a lot of time reflecting on my life in London. I was there for two years, I built a solid base of friends, places I liked to go, great pubs, bars, clubs, a solid network of recruiters to keep me working. But due to visa restrictions I was not allowed to stay and therefore moved on.

When developing websites it's easy to forget what you're actually trying to achieve.

The more I play with it, the less I like it. The concept is nice and all, but it's too inflexible.

When it comes to developing websites for mobile devices, there is no set framework. There are tools, helpers, quasi-frameworks, but there is no specific framework for developing these applications.

I have absolutely no idea why this question even came to me but I felt compelled to find an answer, it wasn't hard. But interesting nonetheless.

So anyone who has actually been paying attention may notice a few updates to the site. This is very much a work in progress, but I'm getting there... slowly.

Had someone asked me a year ago where Mount Kilimanjaro was, I probably would have said it was somewhere in Asia. Now I am 14 weeks out from climbing that very mountain with my beautiful girlfriend, the one and only Lil' Miss Planet - Ivona.

In building this website there have been a couple of websites that have been quite useful.

I was slapped with another funny one with Entity Framework and MVC today. I wanted to access a System.Data.Spatial.DbGeography part of the Entity Framework in one of my views. But I kept getting the error saying that DbGeography was in an assembly that wasn't referenced.
