I am moving

I now have my own domain name and web space. So this blog is moving to a more permanent home. I am in the process of importing all of the posts from here to the new site. I will no longer be updating this site, so please update your bookmarks/links to my new site: http://chris.johnstone.id.au/blog

Job Hunting

So sales wasn't really my thing. I think I knew that by about the 3rd hour. I hated it. Now I am job hunting. I had an interview this morning, which went ok. It's only the first so I don't have my hopes set too high just yet. It is really daunting to be out in the job market. You have to sell yourself, which is one thing that I don't think I am great at. I always have this low opinion of my abilities, which I am sure other people think are really good but I just can't see it myself. I always see other people who are better at what I do. So far, I have only applied for jobs on seek.com.au. I think that I may need to branch out and look for jobs in other circles though.

It's not what you know, it's who you know.

That is the saying isn't it? So, who needs me? Who wants to hire me? The best thing about me is my ability to learn independantly and fast. You want me to do something? Let me know what it is and I'll get it done. So if you know of anyone in the Perth area that is looking for a humble coder/IT guy, then let me know!

Just as Stacey's parents were leaving our house tonight the sky to the west was this perfect golden colour. I ran inside to get my camera to capture the moment. I hope you like it.

As always, all my photos are on flickr (link is just to the right hand side of the page)

Happy New Year!

Here is everyone who came to our New Year's BBQ at our new house last night. Thank you all for coming, I had a really good time and appreciate it. The rest of the photos are available on my flickr page My New Year's resolutions include:

Get fit (yeah it's the same every year, but a good one anyway)
Earn a certain amount of money (No, I'm not going to tell you how much ;-) )
Make new friends (not that there is anything wrong with my current friends, but the number is small)

Last year's resolutions were reasonably successful, I got fit (for a while); I worked out what I want to do in IT (dabble and earn money by other means) I hope that 2006 is your best year yet, I know it will be mine!
