Lots of excitement happening off-blog at the minute, over the past few months, we've put our flat on the market, found a nice house in Walthamstow and are nearing exchange and completion, which is really exciting. I'm looking forward to living in Walthamstow, north of the river for the first time since I arrived eight years ago. Being near a big daily market and on the tube will be fun too. It is also near Epping Forest, which is lovely and lots of friends are nearby on the other side of the River Lea/Lee.
Also, I'm leaving the BBC after four years and will be working for the Nature Publishing Group in November. I'll be their Product Development Manager, building new social software tools for scientists, they already have some great existing products - Connotea (download the code) which is a group reference manager cum social bookmarking application and their various gateway collaboration websites. I'm really excited by the move, though of course sad to be leaving my friends at the Beeb.

Is 'off blog' the new way to describe what we used to call 'the real world'?
;)
exactly that, not this perl supported virtual world.
Walthamstow - it's a wonderful world.
Welcome!
