Project: Farm Work: Hostel Life
http://makingjgb-agri.blogspot.com/2010/09/hostel-life.html
Music I Listen To. Books Articles I Read. Friday, September 3, 2010. Here I am in Queensland, living in a hostel, waiting for work. To make itself available. I've managed to budget 3 days worth of food for less than 25$. My days consist of waking up around 7am and reading until 8:30 when I can call my farming contact to see if there's work available. So far nothing is available, but everyday he suspects present workers are wearing thin and suggests that I should call again the next morning. As of now, af...

Project: Farm Work: Fearing Slave Labour
http://makingjgb-agri.blogspot.com/2010/09/fearing-slave-labour.html
Music I Listen To. Books Articles I Read. Sunday, September 5, 2010. I've been stationed at Backpackers By the Bay for a week now and I'm finally making a move to Bowen. Where I've found accommodations tomorrow. In my time here I've encountered numerous people coming from Bowen, leaving the environment I'm making my way towards. I've also been told that instead of working 6 days on 1 day off, people have been forced to work 12 days straight before receiving a day off. Veritable slave work, it seems.

Project: Farm Work: September 2010
http://makingjgb-agri.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Music I Listen To. Books Articles I Read. Saturday, September 25, 2010. Dealing with the Dishonest. In preparing for my agricultural work travels, I put quite a bit of time into researching the right location and work opportunities available to me at this time of year. I came to Bowen with the educated impression that the season was in full swing and that work would be available. I first felt duped when I was given the false impression that work was available for me at Bowen Backpackers. Price’s ha...

Project: Farm Work: Price’s Farm
http://makingjgb-agri.blogspot.com/2010/09/prices-farm.html
Music I Listen To. Books Articles I Read. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. I have a permanent job! It’s hard to say whether it’s a guaranteed full-time job, but for now at least I know that I have work everyday until the crops say otherwise. Not to mention that we work 6 days on with 1 day off, usually a Sunday. After my first day today, I can tell you that this makes for a very long day! Each station has three different jobs that we switch between after each break. I find it very hard to turn my mind off ...

Project: Farm Work: Working on a Farm
http://makingjgb-agri.blogspot.com/2010/09/working-on-farm.html
Music I Listen To. Books Articles I Read. Saturday, September 25, 2010. Working on a Farm. My one week experience of working on a farm was without a doubt the most physically challenging work I’ve ever been subjected to. I started working on Price’s Farm this week, a large family owned operation that harvests, cleans and packages green beans and capsicums. There are 16 of us from our working hostel on this farm, some of whom (who have seniority) have been working there since the 30th of April! If we̵...

Making JGB: Life in Pictures
http://makingjgb.blogspot.com/2011/08/life-in-pictures.html
Tuesday, August 2. I’ve spoken of Life Documentation for quite a while now, but I’ve struggled to put it into practice. I have a tendency for taking pictures and am often motivated to make videos, but I often hold back from posting for fear of being misinterpreted as self-indulgent or narcissistic. Nonetheless, I have a vision and a project to uphold and thus I will be posting trinkets of my everyday weekly life in pictures in such postings. Have I told you how much I love the park in front of our house?

Making JGB: WordPress Multisite: How To for Beginners
http://makingjgb.blogspot.com/2011/08/wordpress-multisite-how-to-for.html
Tuesday, August 16. WordPress Multisite: How To for Beginners. I’ve been struggling to setup WordPress MultiSite. The few times I tried to follow tutorials online, I was thrown off because they all referered to dealing with an FTP program, which I’ve never used and know little about. I called upon the help of more experienced friends but our schedules haven’t allowed for any progress so I’m now determined to figure this out and create a tutorial for beginners. Define('WP ALLOW MULTISITE', true);. For Ste...

Making JGB: Out and About: Proud Mary, Collingwood
http://makingjgb.blogspot.com/2011/06/out-and-about-proud-mary-collingwood.html
Sunday, June 5. Out and About: Proud Mary, Collingwood. I’d like to make it a habit to get out of the house and get some work done within a cozy cafe environment. There’s something about being surrounded by life that inspires me to write. I’m making it a point to check out a few different popular hangs in our surrounding neighbourhoods: Collingwood, Fitzroy, Clifton Hill and Northcote. Also leaning towards spots that offer free wifi. I read a number of positive reviews on Urbanspoon for Proud Mary. Makin...
