Disclaimer: I originally wrote this blog post while sitting at Sydney Airport waiting for my flight home. Had no internet connection then, so I just quickly drafted this up. A few details have come through since then. So this will be that draft post with a few comments dotted throughout. It’s only now that it’s [...]
I came home and logged in to my Twitter account to find no less than four random people suddenly following me. I originally thought they were spammers but on closer inspection I found out that they were all @webdu followers, plus @webdu itself. “Huh!” thought I, “Must have found me by searching for #webdu and [...]
Ok, it took a while, but I have now fixed the glitch that has kept my site from updating blog posts. The front page of the site is also now looking a lot better. I’ll be adding more links to my online presence soon, as well as a photo gallery and a Twitter feed. But [...]
The Young ICT Professional Conference I attended last year in Adelaide will be back again this year in Sydney. This year’s theme is “Lead, Transform, Succeed”. Registration is now open for early bird prices! I plan to be there this year and I hope to see you there!
Unlike the post 6 months ago, this time it’s a more permanent farewell I’m bidding to Foster’s. I started my Industry-Based learning (IBL) placement there almost exactly a year ago. After the placement ended, I continued with my old team for one day a week while studying. Then, after the Deloitte vacation placement ended, I [...]
Wow, that was exhausting! I’m going to be sore for days! Just came home from the 2009 Accenture Adventure. It’s a graduate recruitment event run by Accenture that’s very vague when you apply. It doesn’t mention much except that it’s a “high-octane” event with a spy/secret operative theme. Once I arrived, we had more details [...]
I came home yesterday from the Golden Key Asia-Pacific conference in Canberra to find Melbourne broken. Train lines were down – apparently it had reached 47 degrees! And now this morning, there is news of bushfires that have possibly killed more people than Ash Wednesday fires…I saw some bushfires from the plane as I was [...]
A safe and happy new year to you all! 2009 is my last year in the Bachelor of Information Technology. I will possibly be going through the graduate recruitment process as well. I’ll do my second industry-based learning placement somewhere and I’ll be in Japan for two weeks in September – with a few other [...]
I’m nearly at the end of my summer vacation placement at Deloitte that I was offered back in August. It’s been great! I’m in Consulting (Technology Integration), working with the E2E Solution Integration team at Telstra. Yes, I’m working on that massive Teslstra IT transformation project! It’s pretty exciting – it’s the biggest IT project [...]
I have known about Twitter for a long time but since I already tracked my friends on Facebook, LiveJournal and other blogs, I didn’t really want to add yet another website to add to my “check regularly” list. Besides, I didn’t know anyone who Twittered, besides a few high-profile celebrities. But now my list of [...]
