Loop Invariant

So it's late and in the absence of anything more rigorous than a university summer semester I have started to become nocturnal once again. This has some advantages in that I can keep tabs on late night TV (what the fuck is going on with the quiz shows, I mean I know I'm not the first person to mention them but come on how can you find something worse than infomercials???)

I have also decided to keep this blog updated more regularly as I am just conceited enough to think that people might want to know what I'm up to. But I'm also certain that in the future blogging will be quite useful in a business sense, and even though it might be hard to see the link between posting AOL database searches and blogging about information security I feel that the more practice you have writing the better your writing will be. And lets face it my writing can only get better!

I had briefly mentioned Podcasts in my last post but I feel that I should elaborate and point out that even if you don't have an ipod you should download iTunes and head to the music store. The breadth of subjects covered is amazing, for the first time sense I left UQ I've been listening to people discussing philosophy on the podcast of the Radio National show 'The Philosophers Zone" I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed philosophy and the pursuit of knowledge. If as I hope I move to Canberra in the future I'm entertaining the fantasy of finishing my undergrad degree in philosophy and classics at ANU, I don't know if I would have time and I know that it wouldn't advance my career but we can all dream!

Which I guess leads me to grad programs; as some people will know I have interviewed in Canberra for a job in the defense department, people probably don't know too much about it but discretion was mentioned in the process so I'm afraid thats all I can really say about it at the moment. Since then I have also been invited to the second round of testing for the DSD graduate program next week. As these are the only jobs that I have applied for at the moment I'm quite pleased with the progress so far. It's also a little awkward for me as I'm finishing in the middle of the year and the grad programs are all geared for the more traditional end of year finish. I've also been tossing up joining the reserves as an officer. At the moment the RAAF are the front runners but Lol doesn't seem to keen, still it's just an idea at the moment.

I guess that the problem with not doing much is that I don't have much to write about... But more will follow!
