Has it been that long?

Wow, so I haven’t written in just over four months – what HAVE I been doing since January? Well, for one, I’m now at the opposite end of my final semester. I know officially have 6000 words to write, and I graduate from my combined Science / Information Systems degrees.

I’m still no closer to figuring out what I want to do next semester, short of finding more and more courses that I might be interested in. I’m currently looking at possibly doing one or more of:

But then again, there’s still heaps more options. I know I want to get into I.T. security, but there seem to be so many specialist areas, and since I’ve only touched on security before (one subject a year or so ago), how am I supposed to know which area to go into?

One other thing that’s happened over the semester, is that I’ve been studying a lot of history and philosophy of science subjects, and I’ve got a taste for that, too. I’ve always enjoyed contemplating the nature of the god and the universe, but some of the philosophy this semester has really got me thinking. As such, I’ve decided to finally start a pet-project that I’ve spent the last few years thinking about, but (like many things), hadn’t quite got around to doing – I now have a blog about religion, science, philosophy and spirituality. I’ve started by re-working and posting an essay I wrote last year at uni about resolving evolution with a belief in god, and I’ve been working on a few more posts which will appear over the next few weeks. While it’s definitely not for everyone, if you’re interested, please take a look over at 20gramSoul.com – and if you’re wondering about the name, check out the about page.

I hope everyone is well, and no doubt I’ll write again soon, as it’s coming up to the end of semester (and we all know that time I should be studying becomes time I write on my website)…

Commonwealth Games

Ok, so it’s been a while. But, if you have checked back recently, you may have noticed a couple of changes. Well, ok – maybe just one change (which shows itself in a few different places). Basically, I’ve added a new page – “Photography“. Here you can see all of my favourite photos, while I’ve still got the “Family and Friends” photos separate from this site, at http://gallery.sobriquet.net. All the photography photos are also up on Flickr – you may remember me talking about Flickr a while back?

Sure, so I didn’t see any of the sporting events, but there were some very funky things happening for the festival. I’ve got some photos of the “luminarium” which was on St Kilda beach (made by the “Architects of Air“, and of the city at night, including the “Fish” which lined the Yarra while the games were on. All these photos are in the commonwealth games 2006 album. Enjoy!

Back Home, for now…

Well, I’m back home for now. I’ve posted most of the photos from the one-week road trip (see previous posts), but I’m mostly just writing this to notify everyone that there’s more stuff to check out on the site!

I’ve also got HEAPS of awesome shots of random country scenary taken along the way, but I want to go through them first before I post them up on the site. There’s also a few sets of images I’m hoping to turn into panoramas, so… when they’re ready, I’ll put them up too!

In the mean time, I’m off to bed, as I’ve gotta work tomorrow. Doesn’t it suck coming back from holidays?

Oh, and by the way – check out my “Blog the World” map to see where I’ve been!
