Another post

It's been over a week since I've posted here, and I apologize to my loyal readers who have probably all headed to the hills.

Twitter has been keeping me distracted, while my bipolar disorder and newly-diagnosed ADHD have left me feeling less than effective. It's hard to push yourself to try to succeed when you feel you've been so far from stellar that bothering with anything is a waste of time.

But things are picking up. I'm on new medication, I have great friends, an incredibly supportive wife and a window into new techniques to help keep my problems in check. There's definitely a gleam of hope where a short while ago there was none.

I'd love to find employment, but my chosen field of expertise, software development, seems to be yielding little, if any, job prospects in the area. I can always cast out a wider net in my search, since so far I've only looked at Nova Scotia. However New Brunswick and PEI are both a stone's throw away. PEI is apparently the game development capitol of the Maritimes, and it's a field that's interested me since I first learned to program as a kid. I guess it might have been what drove me to begin learning.

A bright light is on the horizon, and I'm heading into it. If you come across a job posting that might suit me, let me know. For now I'll keep charting a course towards a brighter future.
