Rum & Dal

August 2005 I decided to complete the forms for immigration as having looked at the fees that agents were asking just to gather info that you are giving them anyway, seemed like a huge waste of money!! Agents don’t come cheap! and I’d looked into the forms and it didn’t seem like such a big deal. All the info you could want and need is on the immigration website So the first step was applying for a skilled VISA was to become a member of the Australian Computer Society (ASC) as this is what my background is in. They didn’t really ask for much, general education certificates, formal degree certificate and qualification signed and stamped by the university I was at and that was about it. They wrote back within a couple of months and I was a member. (more…)

This is an article on the reasoning why I opted to use Sipgate for my VoIP services. The following are my personal experiences on setup and use. I haven’t gone into too much depth in this article because I am using Sipgate as a basic service, allowing me to call from Oz and allowing others who do not have an internet connection to call me at a local call rate. Please visit Sipgate for full details on costing and use.

So you know by now that I’m emigrating to Oz but how do my tenants keep in touch with me? And more to the more point how do I keep in touch with them, from across the world, without paying crazy prices. (more…)

So finally its happend, our very own site in this new virtual world.  For many years now i’ve been browsing the web mainly for shopping and general help from DIY projects to computer hair pulling problems.  Never really posted on forums or actively taken part in blogging but that’s all about to change.  Change is always a good thing if your not afraid.
