Read the full article Demotivated Just a quick note to say I didn’t get the job. Tom suggested I ask for feedback and even though I didn’t hold out much hope, I asked for some.

Read the full article Update 13/10/2015 Quick update on my progress for this week. I’ve been mostly working with WordPress code.
