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.

With only seven days until I fly to Sydney, saying I’m mildly excited about the (at least) two day long onslaught of presentations and festivities that is Web Directions would be an understatement in the extreme.
Last year’s Web Essentials conference was a fantastic experience; an event that will keep a code monkey happily tap-tap-tapping away at a keyboard for another ~360 days awaiting the chance to do it all again. The presentations were an invigorating mix of education and inspiration – enough inspiration to be assured the extra effort of developing with standards is worth it and enough education to to go home wanting to rethink just about every project you’re working on (*sigh*).
To help everyone attending to keep track of the people they meet and the social events associated with WD’06, Tim and Cameron have put together just what every web conference needs – a Web2.0 app to call its very own – Web Connections. It’s got folksonomies, it’s got Google Maps integration, it’s got flickr account integration, it’s even got a gradient or two and some rounded corners for good measure. If you’re attending WD’06, hurry up and create your Web Connections account.
Apparently there are still a few tickets left, but be quick!

speech recording; especially recordings that were made by running an average microphone into a sound card.
I’m using Audacity for this walkthrough as it is available
for a wide range of operating systems and comes at a bargain price.
Another Fraud on eBay

This is not the sort of post I thought I’d ever publish on this site. I even opened a WordPress.com blog to prevent me dirtying LeftJustifed with my disillusioned rants about the state of the web and those who create it for love, money and power. Their’s no power, that’s more hype; back to the topic at hand.
As someone who utilizes and appreciates the work done by Dave Childs to make this collection of cheat sheets freely available, I believe the issue is relevant to this site and the people who (used to) read it.
