When I was 9, my parents, my brother and I took a trip around the world to visit Mum’s relatives, Dad’s friends and other family friends they had built up over the years. One place I’ve never been to though, is Australia.

I think I might have an opportunity to “jump the ditch” as they say and have a holiday over in Australia next year. A couple of our friends are heading over there for the Soundwave ‘09 Festival in February/March next year. Aimee and I are hoping we’ll be able to save enough money to go too but it does mean that I’ll probably need to negotiate time off from my new job only 4 months after starting which may or may not be a problem. The concert is only for one day, depending on which city we go to but we’ll want to stay at least a couple of days.

The bands performing at Soundwave include some of my favourites like Madina Lake, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Funeral for a Friend, New Found Glory and hellogoodbye as well as some major headliners like Nine Inch Nails, Alice in Chains and Bloodhound Gang.

As of Tuesday, 28th October 2008, I’ll be moving jobs from Evos Group Ltd. to Enlighten Designs Ltd..

I’ll be straight into C# ASP .NET programming which is all new to me. They have a ton of work on at the moment so they’re hoping I can hit the ground running and I hope so too. It should be lots of fun.

Tom and I have decided to move all of our sites from our hosting at StartLogic to something a little more reliable. We decided to give MediaTemple’s Grid-Service a go. I’ve been trying to get all our sites migrated over but because we want as little disruption as possible we needed everything that was running currently documented.

So far it has been fun, this site has been running from the new system for a couple of weeks now and I haven’t noticed anything that isn’t working and the control panel is great for a pseudo-shared-hosting control panel.

My workplace Evos has been using MediaTemple for over a year now and we’ve only had great customer service and awesome uptimes so we didn’t have any qualms about switching over.
