I got a new job a couple of weeks back, doing some php stuff at a place called mooty design. Geckom (of 2600 Brisbane) helped hook me up with the gig, so thanks to him (:D).

So far I've done: 1 wordpress theme, a few widgets, written (and abandoned) a simple content management and product purchase/whatever system and wrangled a shitty piece of software called PHPMembers (also known as WebMembers) into working.

In other news, when meekrat gets back from thailand he may be accompanying me to Japan. One thing that's going to be tricky is getting an apartment there, for a couple of reasons. One of which is that I require a "gaikokujin torokusho" (foreigner registration) before I can sign a rental agreement. This wouldn't be such a problem except that the registration process can take a few weeks at times. In the meantime, I'm going to need to find somewhere to stay. The other problem is that they want proof of employment... I'm kind of employed, kind of not. I get paid, but I don't have an employment contract. Hopefully they'll settle for bank records.

I'm going to be working on this blog a lot more as well, so that I can make it easier to post pictures while I'm away. After getting it into a more workable condition, I'm going to release the source code for it so other people can use it as well. I'll be posting again tomorrow, おたのしみに！
