It's May. I am continually surprised at how quickly the months are flying past. I officially ended my probation period with Bytes System Integration. Therefore I am now officially permanently employed for more then 3 months. It's a blessing for me considering how hard I struggled to find work in KZN last year. The company has all the normal politics, however is very nice to work for and offers a lot of flexibility and takes care of it's employees. I have had no bad experiences yet and that to me is a good sign. April was a busy month for me and I didn't get time to finish everything that I wanted to do. Hopefully I can catch up during May.

I am currently involved in a very nice project using ASP.Net AJAX. I have been wanting to get going with it for a few weeks now but hadn't found a dutiable project until now. So far I am very impressed with how easily it can be implemented and how much power it gives to simple web applications. The additional AJAX Control Toolkit makes a powerful addition to any system. I will write more about this soon.

Both me and Michelle have been fairly quiet on the blogging side. We seem to be busy every day with something new. Brat is growing up nicely and the rest of the animal kingdom seems happy, apart from a massive flea infestation that recently hit us. We will however find a way to cure this shortly. Michelle recently posted some very beautiful and touching poetry on her blog she found online.

The SA Developer meets for the month also went extremely well. The last was a bit quite because of lack of organization on my side but this will be rectified with the next series running for the month of April. We know have a set Social location as well so it should be a powerful and busy month coming.
