Just thinking that i should put down roughly what my plans are for the next few weeks, as i start my life as an unemployed bum, and wander the world, until i get bored, and the money runs out...

Anyway:

  • Tuesday 17th August, 12.15am - fly out of Melbourne
  • Tuesday 17th August, 6am-ish - arrive KL, bum around for a few days, check out the city... (I've always thought it stupid to have a stop-over somewhere, and just sit in the airport - you're in the country, so why not check it out...
  • Thursday 19th August, 12pm-ish - fly KL to London
  • Thursday 19th August, 6pm-ish - arrive london, heathrow... yay!
  • Friday - recuperate, while sponging of my buddies, Paul and Lydia...

After that:

  • Celebrate my birthday (the 24th of August) in another country :D
  • Head up to Glasgow at the start of sept, and get the proper tour of the place with my buddy Lindsay
  • Head over to Italy around mid sept, and bum around Tuscany with Matt - then head north towards Amsterdam, where Matts got a 'business meeting' - or so he says...
  • After that - who knows

Longer term:

  • Go sailing around the Mediterranean for a while (theres a few web sites that hook up boat owners, and people who are willing to work for nothing, so everyone wins...) So, a few months of that, ahhh... life will be hard...
  • Check out a white Christmas... Always wanted one of them...
  • Wander lots and lots and lots... Really got to improve that map of visited countries - its looking kinda bare at the moment.
    • Russia is up there on the list of places to vist.
    • France - will probably hang out there for a while
    • Skiing in the Swiss Alps - ahh - life is going to be sooo hard...
    • And well - i'll see where i end up
  • When the money finally runs out, i'll think about getting a job. Either that, or i'll start robbing banks. Not sure which one yet.

This is that always dodgy first post, where people feel they have to have something there, but dont actually have anything to put there yet... So, this isn't going to be that deep...

Anyway, this blog is going to be a replacement for those group emails that some people like, and some people absolutely loath. (I belong firmly in the latter category). So, I'll put my ramblings here, and if people are interested in reading them - well, they can come here and read them.

For those that aren't quite technically minded, and haven't done the blog reading thing before, you have a few options as to how to read a blog:

  • come visit the site regularly, and see if theres anything new to read
  • download a feed reader (aka news aggregator), and let it check automatically for new stuff
    • if you want to give this a go, i'd suggest awasu as a really cool standalone program
    • if you use outlook, check out newsgator as a really cool outlook addin (news items appear as emails).

Anyway, thats enough babbling for now - all i've got to do is send out an email saying that its here! Yay!.
