Moving to Melbourne

October 16, 2006 | 27 Comments

Last week I had to make one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever faced — to leave a job I truly enjoy and move away from the area I’ve called home for my entire life. The process feels a little like pressing the ‘reset’ button on my life; while I will stay in contact with friends here in Queensland and I have friends where I’m moving, everything else will be completely different. Crazy.

September 19, 2004 | 11 Comments

This site has been a bit quite for a while because my computer has pulled a Titanic; it scraped an iceberg about a three weeks ago and has been taking on water ever since. Last weekend I had to jump ship.

The technical issues have been solved and I’ve taken the opportunity to totally rethink how I store my personal files and perform a clean install of everything. That has left an entirely different problem - a massive loss in familiarity/usability due to a system full of ‘default’ settings.
