I have some friends in the East and am considering a future move. Perth is great, but I’d love to see more of the East coast.

It was cool. It’s a lot different than the other states, more like N.I. in some ways actually. If you stayed on the west, then you’ll have to return. Everything is in the east, as I’m sure you’re probably aware.

Don,

Cheers for commenting. You’re right not to give away your PR to those huge companies who don’t reciprocate.

Armen,

If there was a prize for the logo contest I must’ve missed it. How was Tazmania? I’ve been to Australia once before, although stayed on the west coast.

Isn’t there a prize? The thought did cross my mind about entering, but I just didn’t have the time, having been away in Tasmania, etc. Looking at the entries, you probably could have whipped up something better in an hour!

Congrats on getting mentioned in Wiki.

I agree with you on the No Follow attribute. I also add “no follow’s” to links pointing at Wiki or any other large source that does not have “no follow” removed. Why give away our hard earned PR to Google, Digg or other place if they’re not returning the love?

Armen,

It’d make my year if the Times Online linked to one of my articles! Much respect.

Logo competitions are a pet peeve of mine. I saw the entries and didn’t think much at all, but unless it’s for a good cause working for free isn’t really my thing. Had you considered entering?

Hi, I have given design & portfolio management courses in several Design schools like: Art Center (Vevey,CH) IED Barcelona and Turin, IAAD in Turin, University of Art and Design Cluj (Romania)…..My experience is that if a design school teaches the basics with practical excersise it works! Students understand a lot of stuff they could not know..they can work on their personality and try to improuve…so their portfolio quality will match their personality and way of presenting themeself.

Ciao! Luciano Bove

Cool!! Congrats. Now all you need is a link from the Times Online ;)

Speaking of logos, I was disappointed that you didn’t enter the Wisdump logo contest. Looking at the entries, I don’t think it would have been too difficult to win.

IdeBagus,

Very true. The Wiki traffic is appreciated and the main point of my article is by way of thanks.

Carol,

Haha, never apologise for sounding kinky.
