Will visit all three cities before deciding. I have been to both Melbourne and Sydney a few times, but it will be my first time to Brisbane. But it is still too early now...will let you know anyway. @ Mwangi – Interesting blog, added it to my RSS feed account.

Melbourne is a huge commercial centre like Sydney but you don't feel as lonely in the midst of a crowd as I felt in Sydney. Cool, still thinking about whether or not to do it, but should it get up and running I will let you know. In the meantime I don't know if you were ever a fan of her work, but a great new biz blog from Kenyathes is http://www.rookie-manager.com/ Then let me strongly recommend Melbourne first and Brisvegas second.

As long as am not in the most isolated city for the rest of my life... Let me know when your new blog is up. I have some experience and interest in PPC and email marketing so it would be something I would be interested whether as a reader or guest blogger.

Will this be a permanent thing? tDA has indeed been quiet, I have been working on other projects on the side, including this Brisbane move. I am actually considering starting up another blog, probably a podcast, on outsourcing and Internet biz.

I thought all the good programs had been written... there was Windows 95, there was Netscape Navigator and some old "packages", but I was so sure that there was no way ANYBODY could write a program better than those. As you can see, there is always room for improvement. There is always space for someone to come up with something better. That person may be you. You can focus on what you are good at. You need to find a balance between accumulating knowledge and using it. Taking action, small steps at a time is the way to go. Check out this blog post I wrote sometime back..it has an interesting Japanese concept that you can apply ... http://www.danielngari.com/2009/01/what-is-kaizen/ Also check out this one http://www.danielngari.com/2009/06/what-does-all-talk-and-no-action-make-you/ And this one http://www.danielngari.com/2009/05/are-you-a-purple-cow/ All the best. @ Thuo – I remember when I was learning computer programming in Kenya, way back in 1998.

Some of the questions that others may be pondering is how, what and where to start....or is this more of a fear of the unknown/failure? So i'm more or less stuck in that rut of not knowing whether I need more education to get that desire or do it R.Kiyosaki style, learn from those who have made it and get of the rat race.
