Hey there, well I haven’t disappeared, but I have had my head down, working very hard the last couple of weeks! My big news is that I’ve quit my job at Sun Microsystems and I’ll be self-employed come close of business Friday! This is a major change for me as I’m completely institutionalised, having worked at Sun for just under 6 years! A long time for a youngfella like meself 😉

My new business has been on the cards for a while now and I finally worked up the courage to take the risk and back myself. My company is registered in Ireland as “Log On Technology”, and I’ll be focusing on internet marketing in Ireland. I’m calling myself an Internet Marketing and Technology Consultant, because I keep hearing stories about consultants making all the money.

I’m interested in internet marketing because there’s a great mix of really technical stuff (SEO) along with concrete (non-abstract) business involved. Running my own business is a good challenge that I’m really looking forward to.

So that explains why I haven’t posted about Millar losing out on the Paris-Nice, nor about one of the most exciting Six Nations competitions ever – you’ll have to wait a couple more days for my thoughts on that, sorry!
