Once again, things have changed significantly in my life in the past month and as such, I have decided to give up full time freelancing and take up employment permanently in Melbourne. During the past six months I have had an incredible time travelling and meeting new people whilst working, however I feel that now it's the right time for me to settle down for a while.

There is a little sadness that comes with ending my freelance experience, and it's a huge turning point for me personally -- A new city, new faces, and more importantly, a new job. After interviews with a few firms, I was offered a position at Acumentum that fits my new situation perfectly -- great people, good location and best of all, some exciting new projects to work on.

I was considering writing reasons why one might want to leave freelancing, but honestly, if you're enjoying it and getting what you want out of life while doing it, I can't see a reason to stop. Indeed, being a freelance developer in 2006 is probably one of the funniest, active and better paid jobs that a geek can have.

Anyway, on with the show! Of course I will keep blogging, perhaps more actively than before, perhaps not (I really need to start scheduling things in). However, before I finish this post I would like to thank a few friends of mine who I wouldn't have been able to do any of the past year without - Jeremy, Josh, Dave, Mark, Vas, Blaze - I owe you all a beer or three.
