Today I started not just a new job, but a new career. Yes, I've left behind software engineering and made my "other career" my professional career. I'm now the Operations and Facilities manager for a large sporting organisation. I wonder if I can still call myself a geek?
I haven't been a big fan of the Crocodile Hunter, although his Australia Zoo is excellent. Nevertheless his death is still rather shocking. Surprisingly to me, it's huge news around the world, especially in the USA. Who knew he was so famous?
His death, due to a sting ray, is the third such recorded death in Australia. Incredibly a colleague at work is the grandson of one of the others.
