Last week I officially (and finally, having stayed on from my initial leaving date in August) parted from Digitalbrain, where I have been working for over five years.

I decided to leave partly due to having been there five years and it being time for a change and partly due to the fact that my life is changing, with the imminent arrival of my first child.

Now away from Digitalbrain I have a little over a month before the baby is due. I intend to use this time for a mixture of relaxing and my own projects.

Since it's creation approximately six years ago, All Secure Domains has gone from being a three strong partnership that offered consultancy as well as Domain/Web hosting to now being a sole tradership supported only by myself. The website needs modernising, a few bugs fixing and the customer services sorting out.

Myself and some of my past colleagues are in the process of releasing a curses based keepalived configuration manager and monitor lvsadmin. This was originally written by Chris before being hacked on by Huw, Simon and myself. I intend to have the source code tidy enough for it's initial SF commit soon.

I will also be looking for consultancy and freelance work, both in small doses now and in larger ones a month or two after the baby has arrived. Please check my CV and contact me if you wish to discuss any possibilities.
