I've been a 'little' busy...

...but I WILL be back here more often... soon... mostly

That stupid XSS attack a few days ago seems to have been just that (no virii detected with multiple checking programs) - so I changed my GMail password and browser and fired off a trite letter to Microsoft (regarding the susceptibility of IE7 to this sort of hack) and Google (for allowing a full contact-list mailout, though I think there may need to be some more investigation about if it was a GMail site-hack, or simply a lifting of contact list) - I should have copied it to Mikolaj, as well.

Bah... that was annoying, but it's not just all that, I guess I'm just being tired from applying for 58 IT contracts in the past 4 days. yes 58 in 4 days. There seems to be that many jobs available right now... BUT...there have only been 8 replies and/or CV-forwards. I'm not sure why that is - but tomorrow I start pestering the job-agencies about all 58 positions. [Mind you I *AM* wondering why I am supposedly not 'the right fit' for a desktop support contract with the Dept of Commerce, when I have done that specific job with them before, I have over 3 years DoC on-site experience, I am intimately familiar with the network topology not to mention the applications, sections and staff, and I have been asked back there (at least) twice before. Weird, and really quite annoying.]

Thankfully I WILL be at Splatterball on Saturday night (thanks to buying tix before the monies ran out) and I will have arby_doll and maybe even a msqwkyz as well (as she jets back into Sydney, from WA, tomorrow night). Any drinks bought for me will be gratefully appreciated.

Further to that - I will also be at barbarianplates this Friday night (again having pre-assigned the $ for that)... hang on that's tomorrow night! (Thank the Gods it's not a degustation this month!)

...and for those who have asked about eventsinsydney - I've been busy, as you can see (and who say that job-hunting is NOT work are idiots) - it'll return quite soon :)
