we're getting closer

Last days were pretty silent at work so I found some time to stroll the internet looking for job opportunities in Melbourne. At this time I'm only focussing on IT. I really hope to find a job in IT, I do believe this would be a great value if added to my resume. But I have absolutely no idea if it is possible with the 417 visa. I'm allowed to work max. 6 months for the same employer, what means I can only apply for temp jobs. And that's a little problem because there are almost no temp jobs in IT. Another question I'm asking myself: should I 'downgrade' ? At this time I'm a L2 Support Engineer with about 1,5y L2 experience. I'm wondering if I would be satisfied with an L1 role. In the long term probably not, but I'm only hired for max. 6 months, so why not ? But what's the professional challenge when downgrading ? Anyway, I've booked already a 3 night stay in a the Collingwood Backpackers where they, according their website, 'encourage smoking'. Guess that's a wise decision in a country where they think this is the way to go ... If all goes well I hope to stay there for 3 to 4 months, but who knows ... In the mean while I've stumbled upon this nice announcement. Guess I'm going to celebrate my 32nd birthday in Sydney attending a festival where Alt-J, Nicolas Jaar, Bat for Lashes and many others play... Can't be bad ! :)

Projection Dance by Black Journey (NL)

Weird concept, but it is pretty cool actually. And I have to admit they've used the right music IT geeks may recognize Fluid Ping-Pong technologies in it :) Music fans will definitely recognize some concepts from the original music video. I've added it under the dance performance so you can compare.

This is the original music video for Radiohead's Street Spirit (Fade Out)

't Is weer zo ver

Hoi hoi hoi,

't Is weer zover.
Het is weer stevig aan't kriebelen. Dus heb ik enkele weken geleden alle raderen in beweging gezet. De volgende reis staat vast, de laatste voorbereidingen worden aangevat.

De verhalen zullen dan niet meer gepost worden op deze blog, maar wel op een nieuwe.
