A London-based HR consulting firm has for five consecutive years ranked Zürich as the city with the highest quality of life. Two other Swiss cities were in the top-ten list, with Geneva and Bern coming in at 2^nd and 9^th place respectively. The analysis is based on 39 criteria including political, social, economic and environmental factors, personal safety and health, education, transport and other public services.

I’ve finally resurrected my blog, migrated it over to WordPress, and have a consistent theme across the main site, blog, gallery and code sections. Having done that, there’s several developments I have to share:

I’ve moved (again!). To those who know me well, this comes as no surprise as I’ve always had some form of “Gypsy” gene in me, giving me itchy feet if I’m in one place for too long which then causes me to move to a new place. And so it is that I left London after having spent four years there, and am now living and working in Zurich. After having spent several months dealing with interviews and work permit issues, I’m now working for Google in Switzerland.

I’ve uploaded an initial version of the pictures from last weekend’s Dublin visit. A more refined set of pictures with more descriptive texts will appear soon.
