Interesting article with Terry Hill (chairman of the company I have been working for the past 6 years). The interviewer has tried to capture some of the values, ethos and thought of the company which is nice, but we’re Arupians not Arupites - sort it out :).
See those last 4 letters at the end? Yeah got my confirmation from the IET that my application was accepted for Chartered Engineering status. Those 4 letters are the culmination of 29 years (shy of 1 month) of both studying and working as an engineer.
It’s difficult to describe exactly what it all means consicely unless you’re part of the industry to understand what is expected of you and what you expect of other people that hold that same title, but needless to say I’m seriously happy about it and was one of my two goals that I had to achieve this year. This is partly one of the reasons why I’ve taken a step back from my various online endeavours to persue other things that have/had been put on hold for sometimes years.
Now it’s time to start working for that other thing (hopefully I will be able to talk about that in November sometime).
Continuing on the Watchmen theme (there’s going to be a lot more of this in the coming months I’m sure) Empire have a breakdown of the new trailer to the graphic novel.
Watchmen Trailer is out; and it’s a complete peach of a trailer. It’s kinda harrowing that Moore isn’t interested in the movie, because if anything Snyder really does seem to have made something special here. ‘Based on the graphic novel illustrated by Dave Gibbons’ - what a shame, Alan Moore’s name should be there as well.
Oh my that is a first. First time in 5 years of blogging that I don’t actually say anything for an entire month. I’ve been busy…if you’ve seen me in the office, you’ll attest to this fact. Thankfully it’s not been just work, as that would make Khaled a pretty dull boy all around….which I hope never to become.
Life has taken over, so much so that my online activities have been curbed to an absolute minimum. So much so that I even got rid of my Blackberry today. I was THIS close to waiting till next week for the new iphone. What made me stop? The reason is pretty simple actually, I’m trying to step away from this constantly connected all the time fashion. It wasn’t doing my psychology much good and I really felt wired all the time, which was a bit much for my sensibilities. There is something called too much information...
