So I'm applying for a US Visa. Houston should be the 8th - 12th March, but that is all dependent on when I can get confirmation of acceptance of the VISA.

Work is work... the Sharjah based stuff is taking shape and slowly getting there. There is a new role that should be added to the company asap which will make all the difference in managing this product in to the future. I have a strategy (or really just an approach at the minute) for handling how my part of the group can best benefit from IT systems and processes. I've also started working to the SCRUM framework. Its almost redundant as ordinarily you need at least one team of 5-7 developers. But it at least provides a standard management structure to my current work which can be expanded in the future.

Music... need to get some writing done this week. We want to record Strange Things as a run through on the recording and editing process at the weekend.

Pssh.... lots to do... lots to do.... at least stress levels are now at a manageable level!

On day 2 I need to work my ass-off catching up on stuff and getting organised for work. So I'm using the Studio's alter-ego of being my day-job office. I may be the only person in the UK who actually went to an office today. The weather conditions are harsh. Light fluffy snow with a solid half inch of ice underneath. Lame by other countries standards, but when you're not used to this kind of thing.... it causes major havoc. The roads are like death traps. The lorries are doing their usual... drive up your ass so you can see nothing but their engine radiators. And lets not forget the courtesy of another driver taking the time to give you a dirty look because your wheels are spinning as you're pulling out of a frozen side road, only for them to slide right past the give way at the upcoming round-about... (lucky for them a lorry wasn't leaving the docks or that dirty look might have been their last!).

Anyway.... work... laters!

I spoke to Dom last night about the idea of sharing a studio space in Liverpool. He seemed quite keen on it. We'll have to see how it pans out. Could be very promising for all! Also started a band with Lee. Just need a drummer to really get things rolling.

 Through-out it all.... i'm still misserable. :(
