This week’s been a busy one, and I feel like I have hardly started it.
I spent a couple of days in Sydney, for work, but at the same time managed to catch up with some bloggers. Monday I met with Mark Jones and had a very enjoyable time discussing the ins and outs of Aussie blogging. He, and IDG, the company he works for have some interesting plans that’ll be well worth watching for. It’s an exciting time, and there be some fun to be had in the times to come.
He also showed me around his work. 9 magazines, with around a hundred staff. It was great to see some of them, head down squirreling away at their next publications. By far though was the look at PC World‘s Test Centre. I’ll leave the detail for the Gadget Lounge article I’ll post soon.
On my way to the airport on Tuesday I met up with Mick Stanic, aka SplaTT. He’s the brains, and currently muscle, behind the Australian Blogging Conference and one of the voices on the G’Day World Podcast. Need I say he’s a busy little blogger. We had a good chat, sitting in a small park in the middle of Sydney. With a little more work he’ll have an official announcement for the date of the event. All Aussie bloggers should get behind him, give him some support, and we’ll see this be an amazingly successful, fun and useful day.
Before I flew out I managed to pick up a dozen Krispy Kreme‘s, and got them home in time for desert. 
The week certainly hasn’t stopped there. Next week we’re lucky enough to be getting a visit in Perth from Simon Phipps, Sun’s Chief Technology Evangelist. We’re planning a few things for him, and we’re just getting it all organised. All this in-between my day job.
