Work
I have still not made much progress applying for jobs, mostly on LinkedIn. So I decided this week to make a recruitment post for a recruiter to assist me. It’s certainly increased eyeballs and let to a few more recruiters reaching out.
Made more progress refining my portfolio, slowly crafting each case study a little more. Still have a way to go, but every bit helps.
Personal
Was preparing to leave Bangkok, but it looks like it’s in my interest to return, after I spend some time in Bali.
Accommodation in Bali is proving challenging, I want to be able to walk around as I know that if I have to drive far to do things, I won’t do them. But the places close to restaurants, gyms and beaches are in the noisier populated areas.
Went back to my old Gym, Muscle Factory. Enjoyed the grittier facilities, with no air conditioning more than I thought I would, so will continue to train there over the next few days.
Undecided on which gym to to train at in Bali, in recommendations are welcomed. I think I will spend a day touring a few gyms around the area and the commit. Looking for more than just good equipment, given Bali rooms don’t really have comfortable couches etc, I will spend a lot more time outside and want all the recovery perks Bali gyms have to offer.
I’m feeling a bit of a shift for the positive, so enjoying the rise. Welcoming the positive change I need in my life. It’s been a tough few months.

2Advanced were pioneering in the early Flash days, so it was great to see they released one of their earlier sites rebuilt in Rive. I had never heard of the app, but now that I have, I think it could be the beginning of a richer, Flash-like experience the web is missing.
