+what would i tell somebody i haven't seen in a year
+
+right now i'm in the middle of buying a house,
+though i'm at the start really. it's been waiting
+more than anything. the couple we're buying from
+are looking for something perfect and we're happy
+to wait. but hopefully soon things will move
+
+waiting for the house has put most things on hold
+i don't want to join clubs where i am currently because
+i wont be here soon(hopefully)
+
+i'm working as an engineer. most of my time is
+with a client in the voluntary sector. i maintain
+a site used to refer people in need to the services
+that can help them. it's old and full of legacy
+code, but it's getting there now that i'm working
+with it essentially full time
+
+i spend 14 or so hours a week mentoring kid programmers,
+where i teach mostly python. some javascript too
+
+cheers,
+lew
