Status update: 10 June 2011
I'm sorry for not being around folks. I've worked several months with crazy hours (and on site) for more than a few months, and to put it mildly
I'm a bit burnt out.
Unfortunately, I lost my job about a month ago. My ex boss made me work through my notice period, including going onsite pretty much every day. This
made automatic 60 hour weeks due to where I live (Geelong), and leaves practically no time for anything much other than sleep, eating and working.
I'm pretty depressed, especially as I have no job right now and my time at my last employer finished 10 minutes ago.
In the next few weeks, I'll be working on getting a new job. I'll be doing some contracting (again, onsite) until I get a new job.
When I'm not contracting or looking for work, I should have more time to dedicate to being here. If I do have some free days, expect a few minor
house keeping tasks being done, such as backups, updates to the underlying platform, etc.
If you've been waiting patiently for a password reset, I'll also make my way though these. Please use the Contact Us form or e-mail me
(aussieveedubbers@gmail.com) and I'll get through them as best I can.
thanks,
Andrew

I do web application security and architecture. Fairly senior, which is why I still don't have a job yet. I could get a pen tester role pretty
easily, but $$$ and where I'm at are far apart.
thanks,
Andrew

Sad news Andrew.
Been there done that, so I can empathise.
Easy for me to say - but you WILL find a job! It's just a matter of time.
Got my fingers crossed for you.
