Sense of achievement

I was flicking through the apps on my iPhone the other day, deleting a few that I don't use, when I noticed that most of 1 screen contained apps I had written myself! I started re-arranging the apps and did indeed fill all 12 slots on one screen with my apps. A couple are my own personal/side projects, and the rest are customer's apps. Just thought it was pretty cool, and nice little boost/reminder of what I've been doing since I left my old job. It feels good to be working with really great technology, and whatever happens in the future, I won't have the same reservations about taking a chance in terms of leaving a dull job to do something more interesting. It has given me renewed confidence, and just makes me wish I'd jacked my "safe" job in sooner.

That was a bit emo, so I'll stop now before I reach for the black eyeshadow and drainpipe jeans. I really must get around to some gambling at some point. I have dicked around on Betfair with BetAngel and The Geeks Toy. I made a profit scalping a couple of footie matches pre-kickoff with min stakes, found that most greyhound racing is near impossible to trade due to lack of liquidity, and lost a quid or two messing about with a tennis betting strategy.

I guess the plan is to have a look at the live poker calendar and pick a target event to qualify for, and keep trying the footie scalping. I did have a look at the horsie markets again, and was amazed that I ever tried to trade them, the odds were absolutely flying around! I think I just need to study those markets a lot before I jump in again, anyway gl all!
