Slow hiring at Big 4

"Newbie" ? Really ? in the ST ? I mean seeing "@" or "i" as a prefix for everything was enough of cyberculture spilling over into every language but "Newbie" ?
To be fair, a little googling uncovered that its roots extend far before Counterstrike and MMORPGs, but I'm willing to bet you'd be struggling to find any 65+ year old who understands what it means when you call someone "newbie".
Sorry for the lack of updates. As I mentioned previously, I've been pretty preoccupied with networking up my house. OVer the past month, I entered the next phase of populating said network drive with ridiculous amounts of content.

Maybe it's more us not-really-getting-fussed-about-it.. But this swine flu thing seems overrated. Before we'd even heard about it, probably a third of my office had already taken some sick leave from flu related issues. Apparently Australia has a really tough regime about screening which also explains some of the stats.
At the end of the day, we're fine. So stop worrying. :)
