New House and Office

In the past week I've moved office and moved house! I still have no Internet at home so I'm using my phone.

Last Thursday we moved office to The Pump House, an environmentally friendly building that gives us great new facilities and loads more space. The three of us had been crampt up in our old office for almost two years which means we can look to expand in the coming months.

Pump House

 

On Friday I brought my first house with my lovely girl friend Laura, I've spent since then moving stuff in and sorting it all out. It's a slow process but we are finally getting there.

The office and house are only ten minutes walk apart meaning I can sleep in till 8:30 each morning and still get to work on time.

More coming soon once Plusnet activate my broadband.

My Top Two Trance Podcasts

It's been a while since I blogged about music but with the Miami Winter Music Festival coming up it seemed like a good time to mention my two favourite trance podcasts. They come from no less than two of the biggest names in trance music and their weekly updates are well worth listening to:

Both can be found within iTunes or from the sites above.
