If by big smoke you mean a boring suburb of Sydney then yes still in the big smoke. No I don't build PC's anymore I make iPhone and iPad games and apps.
Just about the only thing you can still do in Australia that isn't regulated, requires no red tape, no licences and best of all no boss, well except me. BUT it doe make me an exporter and the high Dollar really does hurt.

It's funny you should say that, software development is hardly regulated....maybe that farm was a bad idea!

I liked him - I thought he was quite astute, a good writer, and really got the concept of how the Little Englander, as he coined it, can get him or herself into a right old stew...
