The weather in Sydney these past few weeks has been so whack. Rain, sun, hot, freezing, all in the turn of half a day. Whenever anyone bitches about the weather now, I just respond ‘climate change’. Doing my thing to raise awareness haha.
This past week has been pretty huge. I concluded my 2 months of physical rehab; I didn’t really want it to end! It’s been a great time there.. I’ve improved, met a lot of awesome people there, and you always feel great after it. Now it’s up to me to keep my program running at the gym (my second home these days) - definitely looking long term. If I keep this up for the rest of the year, I should see solid improvements. But yeah, I’m sad to leave the folks up at lady davidson. Whenever sunday hit, I would be so looking forward to monday morning - best way to start the week. Kat and Duncs particularly, you guys are awesome! Huge help to me, and I feel really lucky for having crossed paths with ya. Hope to see you again some day.
Finally confirmed my longer-term plans and told the boss - I’m going to be moving on from my current place of work in a few months, and will be going ‘back to the lab’ to bone up on ultra cool geeky things. I plan on sinking my teeth into php and mysql for what I see my line of work for the next year or two; web apps (how web 2.0!). Server side coding is crucial for rounding out what I do; going from ‘flash developer’ to being independently able to make the whole web app widget. Not sure if I’ll touch on AS3 yet as it wont be until later next year I’ll be able to use it for projects realistically; when flash 9 reaches a decent installed userbase. So, in a few months I’ll be off the work grid and doing my own thing. Can’t wait!
Still on the health craze, and enjoying it. Got a plan for where I want to be in 6 months, so there is something to aim for. Next year increasingly looks like I might be working overseas (Marky and Dagra will be over London way, would be much awesomeness to stay with them there!). Who knows, maybe I’ll get around to organising that 21+1 sometime…. 
I said maybe
