Keep Calm!

Just something that occurred to me, I know it’s an awful joke:

Hyper-Mania

Make a twat of yourself on Question Time you racist nutjob, my friends! After a brief radio silence, I have returned to my keyboard once again!

I realised that I’ve been neglecting you, indeed, starving you of my opinions, reviews and general geekery – which I know you all crave like sugar and spend many a day constantly checking your RSS feeds for your next fix.

It pains me then that I must disappoint for now. But I felt I owe it to you to explain why, this is not yet another assertion that I’m switching to a different blog or anything just a quick update on what I’m doing.

Firstly, the blog. You may’ve noticed the look of the site has gone walkabout, which is my fault entirely – an error when updating the version of wordpress installed on the server – hopefully Louis would be so kind as to put the theme back soon but I know he’s busy at the moment so no rush at all. Secondly, I’m yet to investigate fully but I believe that maybe matgreenfield.com now works in university buildings and halls, or at least it is for me. I’m yet to look into this fully but fantastic if it works.

Secondly, my university course. As you may know, I am at Reading University studying Computer Science, and it’s keeping me occupied to say the least. I know that more work is to come and obviously that is my priority. Those of you who’ve followed this blog since the beginning (I know there are a few of you out there) may remember I started this blog just after I finished college, so juggling the blog and my education is something new to me, and indeed a juggling act in which my education must be caught first if I fail to co-ordinate properly.

Thirdly, in preparation for what I hope will be a very prosperous career in technology journalism after finishing my course, I’m doing what I can to boost my CV in terms of media and outside-course activities – namely joining the uni newspaper (who, at mine and others suggestion, will hopefully be starting off a technology section). I’m also looking into information on writing skills (I’ve taken yet another diversion from my ongoing book list to read “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” by Lynne Truss), the uni television station (who I hear are looking for people to work on a new gadget review show) among a wealth of other stuff going on.

That is not to say, by any means, that I will specifically avoid writing posts and will do so whenever I can, just the pace that I managed to maintain over the summer will be notably reduced.

Coming up, I will finally get around to reviewing Windows 7 (though in the meantime, I reviewed the Release Candidate a few months back), a piece on language and writing inspired, in part, by Truss as well as discussions I’ve heard recently, a review of “The God Delusion” and Tech-Squared makes a triumphant return to your earholes. Stick around, I have cookies for you!
