			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago we released our second app from VerySoftware, entitled: <a href="http://verysoftware.co.uk/valentine-gift-finder/">Valentine Gift Finder</a></p>
<p>Yes I know, it’s a very imaginative step forward from our first app (<a href="http://verysoftware.co.uk/christmas-gift-finder/">Christmas Gift Finder</a>), but it does boast a couple of new features as well as a few tweaks under the hood, and really it&#8217;s just a start of greater things to come. So if you want a little bit of help finding a gift for that special someone and you also want to save some money, then check out the Valentine Gift Finder app <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/valentine-gift-finder/id349887083?mt=8">available now</a> on the Apple App store for both the iPhone and iPod touch. &#8211; Oh yeah, did I mention it is <strong>FREE</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been away from Blogging for a while so here&#8217;s a little bit of a quick update before I (hopefully) start blogging more regularly:</p>
<p>In the past few months I continued doing some Azure development but put the idea to rest for a while after the Azure pricing model was mentioned (as I discussed <a href="http://roybott.com/index.php/2009/07/22/azure-pricing-too-much-for-a-little-experiment/">here</a>). After that I did various other bits of development such as a bit of work on an XNA game (which I should really get back to doing) and some iPhone development (more on this in the next post <img src='http://roybott.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p>Finally the big news from the past few months is I got a job! I&#8217;m now a Build Engineer at <a href="http://www.lionhead.com/">Lionhead Studios</a> working on the Milo, I can&#8217;t really say much more but here is a video from the E3 Announcement:</p>

<p>After just getting round to starting this website up, I spent way longer than I should have attempting to design and put together a simple static front page for this site that wasn&#8217;t just the blog. Above is the design I&#8217;ve decided on for now, although I&#8217;m pretty sure I will change it again and again in the coming weeks/months&#8230; but we shall see!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After finally getting around to registering Roybott.com I had to decide exactly what to put here, I considered moving my previous blog (from <a href="http://Roy.Herrod.co.uk/blog">Roy.Herrod.co.uk </a>) but decided to start a fresh and try doing things a little differently.</p>
<p>So the plan for this site is to have a blog but keep things in 3 distinct categories, which are accessible as pages along the top:</p>
<p/>
<li><strong>Personal</strong> &#8211; Will contain general posts about me, my life, this site, etc</li>
<p/>
<li><strong>Development</strong> &#8211; Will contain posts about programming, personal projects and other development related stuff</li>
<p/>
<li><strong>General Web</strong> &#8211; Will contain posts about sites and things on the web that I find interesting</li>
<p/>
<p/>
<p>
I plan to try to stick to this but I&#8217;m pretty sure something will come along which I can&#8217;t decide how to classify and so may create a new section later on.</p>
