The Random Life of Boris
Topics: Adelaide, Music, Projects, Jobs (IBM)Adelaide is a beautiful city, I love it! Traveled via bus with a few friends (Lisa, Tarni & Tor) had an interesting time. Stayed at a hostel known as YHA in Adelaide Central, you can check them out at http://yha.com.au/ the staff are humorous and happy. One of the best things about staying in a youth hostel was meeting amazing people from all around the world. Our group got to get along with a few blokes and lady from the UK and America. Played pool, went to the beach (swam in about 5 degrees) UK blokes did not seem to mind ha ha crazy!
The night life was pretty damn cool, went clubbing and came across some girls that showed us the town. One of the girls advised us not to go down one of the streets (great advise as there was blood on the sidewalk the next day from a punch up U assume). The interesting thing I found about the night life was there was not a pack of westies like you would see in Ballarat, the packs in 'Radeliade' are police officers. Never felt so safe clubbing. The clubs surround the cop station as well so to me that made allot of sense.
Whilst out and about we went to a few live gigs including Rhys Crimmin, The Little Stevies & random people at a pub. Interesting, 'The Little Stevies' were very interesting! I have bought there album and love it, great stuff. Very meaningful for a young band, will be following them for a few years to come. On the topic of music I have an acoustic guitar I am attempting to lean and an electric that my mate Danny has lent me. I am swaying more towards the acoustic, still learning the harmonica as well but will need allot more time to get stuck into it.
One of the reasons for not being able to get stuck into projects/music is because I have practically two jobs now. I am working up at the IBM University Site and down at the call center on the corner of Geelong Road and University Drive. Both jobs are interesting, I can see allot of potential in both sectors but customer service gets to you after being in the same role for too long ;-)
The new role involves more UNIX based systems like Solaris and AIX which are crazy for backups, so its interesting. May lead towards an IT Architect role in the future, either way its giving me a feel for the infer-structures that are out there.
Well looks like my personal site is taking ages to actually get it to where I want it, ell well. It'll get there in due time. Just need to finish off the fitness module which I have been working on for a while now. At University I am studying pretty much programming for all subjects so that'll be full on and will help my personal projects along allot.
Until next time guys, take care!
