I’m moving house at the end of this week so this will be my last blog until we’re setup in our new place (Mudgee, NSW) YAY!
Over the xmas break I’ll be studying for the Microsoft 70-653 exam. I’ve been wanting to get this one out of the way for some time now, so all going well I’ll be certified early 2011. On top of the cert I’m starting a new job in the new year. So moving, new job and study.. 2011 is going to be a BUSY year for me.
Happy xmas and new year to you all!!
