I guess a status update on my life is a good start though:
I'm now 25 years old and no longer an Intern. Since working at Hamilton City Council I moved to Lower Hutt and spent a year working as a Business Analyst at Foodstuffs Wellington. I felt that the position was not going anywhere career wise so took up an Application Support Analyst position at ESR.
The goal was to work in a sort of hybrid role becoming involved in app support as well as analysis on small pieces of work. Despite some setbacks I now have a rough outline of the path to becoming a BA and will hopefully be going on a Business Systems Analysis course before the end of the year.
I recently asked my girlfriend of 6 years Laurelle to marry me and have attached a picture of the ring on her finger.
We are planning a long engagement of around 2 years. Hopefully this leaves us enough time to save for it and plan well enough to make it a perfect occasion.
Pretty much as soon as we got engaged there was a Wedding Expo going on in Wellington so I ended up going to that. It seems like Weddings are now highly commercialised and anything relating to weddings is given a large price increase.
I guess the other thing that's changed is that I'm now an Android fanboy so might start posting about that.
Here's a list of potential topics that I could cover:
- Board Games e.g. Catan, Stone Age, Carcassonne
- Android Apps/Games as I've noticed there are very few game reviews for Android
- Devices that I'm interested in
- Ways to stay anonymous after the Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Bill comes into effect in NZ September 1st 2011 (VPNs, Seedboxes etc)
- General NZ consumer item reviews
- What it's like working in the IT industry
- Anything technology related that I'm interested in
- Wedding planning
