So the new blog isnt a complete failure, I've managed to get some decent posts drafted although a few have been a tad brief due to inspiration hitting me when I've been at my busiest.
Theres been quite a bit of tech stuff in it, unfortunate for those who it will mean nothing to, but it has been very useful when co-workers have needed an answer and I've just pointed them at it. A lot of the small code snippits and fixes I write at work I do alone, and I'm usually the only person that understands the problem and solution, and can explain without the need to dive into the code. Putting this on the blog has saved me lots of repeated explanations :)
if you are vaugely interested, heres the link again:
