for me to clean out my mailbox. Do I really need 40,000 emails dating back to the tail end of 2002? I think not. Another thing – if there’s one thing I hate it’s blog comment spam. I enabled comments at 5:30, before leaving work, cos I’ve had a lot of requests. By the time

The BBC are running a competition which involves people submitting cool photographs fitting into various categories. Debbie has submitted some photographs she took on a sunny day in Edinburgh (one of them is called Timeless Edinburgh). The quality of the entries is wonderful. Please go have a look.

Ok, so it’s been in less than a week but I’m IMPATIENT godammit! I’m going to have to not be impatient, because we have a very long wait stretching out in front of us. Still, easier said than done. Anyway, popping in by the migration agent’s office on Monday to pick up out passports, certificates,

Well, continuing with God of War – I’ve complet0r4ted the bottom levels of Pandora’s temple. I had to navigate an extremely annoying section whereby I had to wander about aimlessly on some very narrow beams very high in the air, and jump over nasty spinny blade things. I think I died about forty times (at

Muhh – challenge of Atlas and Cliffs of Atlas pwn0red. <b>And</b> I yanked the head off some poor dead guy to use his skull as a key. No, really! And then I jumped onto a big rolly spiky thing and barrel-ran along it and jumped onto a ladder. Or was that before the head-pulling bit?

Well, I had a wee 45 minute session at this tonight. Just hacked and slashed my way through the Challenge of Atlas, which was…..interesting. It’s getting pretty important to get power ups, though – the enemies are getting pretty tough (and I just HATE gorgons). The game remains stunning, visually, and although it’s essentially Gauntlet

The completed ACS docs have been printed out and signed. I’ve just handed a big folder full of completed forms, photos, passports, certificates and god knows what else into our migration agent. They’re pulling it all together and sending it off. So, the first really chunk of waiting starts…….. NOW!

A lot of people are put off going down the migration to Australia route, particularly in the IT field, because they don’t have a degree. The Australian Government migration site states quite clearly that a degree is a basic requirement. Well, it actually says that a “recognised tertiary qualification†is a requirement, but let’s not

I think I’m making some really progress now. With the assistance of my contact in Australia, I’ve completed the first draft of the ACS application form and the RPL documents. It’s been a long slog because there really is a vast amount of documentation that needs to be prepared. There’s lots of different sections: firstly,
