<3 Rolling green hills
Spent a few days in Bridgetown last week, enjoyed it.
I’m just testing the flickr to blog posting.
Movement
And once again, change is in the air. I quit my job (4.5 years, fulltime) a few weeks ago. A new version of enjoyperth.com.au will be launching soon. And in less than two weeks I start travelling, though I’ll be still be online a lot and back in Perth semi-regularly. On 13 July I will be officially divorced (it is mutually agreed that this is a good thing, but obviously it’s been a huge change, for us and those close to us :) ).
Travel plans include the north-west coast of WA, the Northern Territory, South East Asia, Africa and Europe. That should see me through until 2011. These plans are vague and subject to change, so I’m not even going to predict what happens after that.
This blog will become a travel blog. Photos from my flickr account will probably show up here automatically. On 15 January, semi-inspired by friends on flickr doing similar, I started my 365 project which involves getting my photo taken every day of the year, by someone different everyday. I’m about halfway now. Occasionally sick of it (the narcissm and having to find someone new everyday to take it) and close to quitting. Being stubborn, thinking it’ll be cool when a whole year is done, and enough people telling me to stick with it, is keeping me going, for now.
I appreciate the freedom I have to be able to do what I’m doing. Thank you to everyone who is supporting me on my way. It’s all very exciting and awesome, and, just sometimes, scary.
Barcamp and Silicon Breach
Barcamp Perth 2.0 is tomorrow (Saturday 10 May). I hope you’ve heard about it elsewhere, otherwise this is late notice..
BarCamp is an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment.
BarCamp is a relaxed community event with demonstrations, discussions, presentation and interaction from attendees. If you have something to contribute or the desire to learn you are welcome at BarCamp. The beauty of BarCamp is it is free.
Put your name down on the Barcamp website if you plan to attend!
Silicon Breach is a game that has been developed by pervasive gaming company Giant Dice, to be played during the day. Register now, it’s sure to be fun!
And tonight we have PTUB 3.9 (Perth Twitter Underground Brigade) (doubles as pre-barcamp meetup) at the Melbourne Hotel, and tomorrow night PTUB 4.0, a post barcamp gathering at the Royal Hotel in East Perth.
See the PTUB blog for more info.
A geeky weekend indeed…

Welcome!
It's hard to write a bio when your life changes as drastically and fast as mine has been lately. As of July 2009 I'm working on EnjoyPerth.com.au 'full' time and randomly travelling. I enjoy and fully appreciate the freedom that allows me to do this.
