I have been offered a position at Opera as a Core Technology Tester and I will be moving to Oslo, Norway. The details are yet to be worked out, but I will most likely be going over in early August.
I’m really going to miss Australia heaps and it’s going to be hard leaving friends and family behind. But this is a good opportunity for me and, while I’m nervous, it’s really exciting. I’m hoping that I will be able to return for Web Directions at the end of September, though I don’t know for sure.
In the mean time, I’m going on my annual ski trip in 8 days (leaving Saturday, 2007-07-07). This year, we’re going to Perisher. I’m hoping the weather will be better than last year’s trip to Falls Creek.
Excellent news. Congratulations on your position. Well deserved! Now, did you win this position after they saw your dance?
Congrats Lachy!! How good is that? Maybe they saw the footage of you dancing and it sealed the deal? 🙂
