After all the trouble with CM, and the demise of ?Off, here's something a little happier - at least for me.

My partner and I have arrived in Queensland and it looks like both of us have work. I was all psyched up to start trying to develope my own software from home seeing as I've been a Manager / Sys Admin for the past 2 years, but I'm stoked that someone out there believes that I'm still useful as a Dev.

The role's mainly Delphi with C#, and ASP.Net thrown in, and although I've only got limited experience with any of them, I've dev'd in a number of languages over the last 10 years, so my experience is wide and varied - I've always considered myself a Jack of All.

I had to take a hefty drop in pay, but that doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather have less money and be happy programming, than earn a mint providing system support and management.

Anyway, just thought I'd say, yay for me.

YAY!

great.  another aussie.  just what the world needs.

You both have work because no one else lives in Queensland until the Summer?

Hehe, you would think so, but it already is summer :P

you wouldn't believe the roller coaster I've been on.

Excited that I'll work from home...
Excited to be working...
Excited that I'll work from home...
Excited to be working.

Another bonus is that I don't start until the 20th of Feb. So I've got a month to enjoy the new place and catch up on my Delphi.
