Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! - Issue #24

Michael Brooks

Hello friends! I hope you are well and having a good time as we head to Christmas and New Year. It will be my final email of the year, and I thought I would use this time to check up and update you on a few things.

If this is your first email, and you’re wondering why you’re receiving it on earth. It’s because you signed up to my old substack mailing list, which I have now retired in favour of Revue.

What's New?

This year has been pretty trying for most of us, but I hope you’re all hanging in there. I have moved from a Contract Developer position to a permanent role as a Senior Developer at the University of Exeter. It’s the same location but a different and hopefully more exciting role.

Here’s a new blog reader (iOS only) which allows you to subscribe through traditional RSS feeds, or you can connect your email and even forward messages to. It’s a fantastic new reader, and one I highly recommend.

I’m having my family around for Christmas, but it will be very different for us because we lost my brother from a heart attack. It will be the first Christmas without him, and we’re feeling a little melancholy. However, we will be there for his kids, and we’ll do our best to have a good time in his honour.
