Merry xmas!

Gday from Dad’s place up in Laidley QLD.
My big news for the xmas season is that in the new year I’ll be working with the Job Futures gang in Sydney in a full-time Rails position. The move is exciting for me because it means:- I’ll have some moola
- I get to work in a team environment
- I get to spend more time doing what I love
Though I’ll have less Monday to Friday time to work on my two business ventures, having a more limited set of time will force me to be smarter about how I work, offloading tasks and concentrating on my strengths.

I also took the chance on my chrissy break to slightly clean up toolmantim.com’s identity. Though it’s light years from a much needed realign, I think it looks a bit neater than the pure text/css heading that went before it.
A few days after New Years Carla, James, Ryan, I, and a bunch of others are heading up to James’ parents’ holiday house in Airlie Beach at the Whitsundays. Warm weather, friends, a pool, a few drinks and a sailing adventure or two should make for an incredible week. I can’t wait!
Catch you in the new year.
Update: Out of curiosity I thought I’d grab a list of the locations I’ve posted articles from in 2006. Here’s hoping next year I’ll add a few new ones eh!
