For a fair while I have been wanting to get back into my web development and design but always end up sitting down ready to re-learn what I need and then giving up in a few minutes. I have a inkling that what is making me lose concentration is both information overload and the fact that I have too many fingers in too many pies. How do you improve your concentration? I think I might really need some help getting mine back.

While I could do something like coding the gatekeepers website (which has laid dormant development wise for too long) or paint some wargaming miniatures I find myself doing nothing but watching TV which I have no interest in.

I have thus decided that starting from when I get home from work tomorrow I am going to throw myself back into things. I will have a new site done to try and pimp me out, I will finish the gatekeepers site and I will decide on a direction to take with life outside of work.

I have decided to start afresh as my computing life seems to be starting afresh too. In the last few days I have found myself sitting at a screen of code and helping more people out on IRC.

“So what am I working on ?” some of you may ask, well I am working on the new site for my local wargaming club (of which I have been re-elected to the post of gamers rep on its committee). This will most likely look near enough the same that it is now but with a new logo and some better organisation. I have also been doing some things behind the scenes with the forums updating them and the like.

I am soon to be taken on by Shrewsbury & Atcham Borough Council, which will mean that I am taken off the agency and will gain a contract with them directly. This will bring with it a pay rise but more importantly security.
