New in York

After a brief stint in London at my best friends Drew's place, I'm now in York with a new job, a new flat, and everything is going great!

I got my 1st for my degree... all that hard work really paid off. I'm pretty proud of myself.

My new job is at ioko (with a little 'i' - www.ioko.com) where I am a Graduate Trainee leading to the role of Junior Developer. I'll mostly be writing web applications using MS technologies.

The place is very friendly and laid back, although people here do know their stuff and work hard. The dress code is, in my manager's own words, 'wear what you like'. Of course, I didn't know this before I arrived, and got my hair cut for the interview. I did miss it for a while, as I usually do, but a lot of people say it looks better now. Thing is, now I look smart, none of my casual clothes really suit me, so I'm dressing smart for work anyway.

I'm living in an actor's flat - he is now mostly in London for the panto season - and I live with one flatmate and one cat. I even have a 4 poster bed, as you can see. Lush!
