Yoyo you wonderful bear followers, I hope today finds you well and for those of you in the UK I hope your snow-related torment hasn’t been too painful to endure and you’ve all stayed safe 🙂 In the shower today (apologies for the mental imagery!) I started to mull over what I would tell someone, […]
Evening all, Just as I was getting into the swing of things with a few quick fire posts I ended up needing to focus on work due to some important project pieces. Coupled with that, I caught a dreaded man-flu style bug over the weekend which broke me a little this week. Posts on Alexa […]
Happy New Year all! New Year, new opportunities, new me….right!? I’ve been taking some time out to focus on a) learning a new domain/related technologies to make sure I have a solid footing in my new role and b) having some time out over the holidays. As such, it’s been hard to focus on creating […]
Where have I been you may ask! Apologies for the lack of content, we’ve (included my wife in the equation here) hit a sizeable brick wall of work. I think this has been mentioned previously, but I’ve recently started a new position and this has involved me spending a good dollop of time getting acclimatised; […]
Hi everyone, With the holidays almost upon us I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year! If possible, I will do my best to crank out a further post between now and the New Year. Here’s a teaser for the first part of the year […]
Rather miraculously, an entire year has rolled around since the inception of bearandhammer! I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone following this blog, and those keeping up on Twitter and Facebook, it means the world to me so a big thumbs up to you all. This blog has brought in over […]
It only dawned on me today that, rather sneakily, I’ve hit my official quarter century in the ‘blog post’ count department. Thinking back to my original goals when starting this up it’s nowhere near where I planned to be (getting on for nearly a whole year after starting this little adventure); but I’m happy to […]
Howdy all! I’ve been away mashing keys and helping my wonderful wife get started with her super-awesome Wedding Stationery business. It’s early days, and there is still plenty to do, but here is some shameless link touting: Website (landing page): frogandpencil.com Blog: frogandpencil.net I’ll try to do my best to keep up blogging in the […]
I’m back from my hiatus which encompassed getting married, eating far too much food and drinking wine and beer on the wonderful Adriatic coast. It’s time to get back to some serious coding and perhaps reconsider the longer term plans for this blog. To start us off, I’ve been contemplating pushing a little money into […]
An interesting week at work has just been topped off (this was a great little delectable cherry as far as I’m concerned) by a Tech Day, providing developers an opportunity to spend time reviewing content on a myriad of new technologies and coding methodologies. As we all know, the life of a developer can occasionally […]
