I’m sitting in a darkened sports arena in Kazakhstan as I write this. For the first time in 7 years I am again on the International Judo Federation world tour; working in the IT team.
Life goes by fast, and blogs gather dust… as this one has.
So what have I been up to…
Well, I continue to work in software development in a fully remote capacity. I’m building software in the recruitment software area and it’s a mix of legacy code and new. I’m mainly managing others and helping us all to navigate the new AI tools and technologies.
Outside of work, my family is fine (thanks for asking).
What has changed is that I’ve gotten involved in the amateur Sumo world. And somehow have entered several competitions and even won some medals in UK even at a European Cup in Norway. Beyond that I am on the board of both EnglandSumo and BritishSumo. This has been an invigorating and it’s been great to be involved.
Project wise, I’ve continued to keep https://en.fantasy-judo.com/ going with James. More recently I started https://keiko-league.com/ which is a different idea, but related to Judo and Sumo. It allows informal tracking and competition at training sessions.
Running/jogging was something I was doing; but knees did not like it as much as riding bicycles. But riding bikes is a literal pain in the backside. So I tried recumbent bicycles and am a little addicted to riding them now. Take a look at https://hampshirerecumbentcycle.com/ to see a little more.
Well thats a brief catchup, talk soon!
