Roberto Live!

I know I haven’t updated the blog in more than a month, which is a bit weird but I’ve been busy planning for the future. If you know me well, you already know how I like traveling and meeting different people and loving all the security and open-source stuff in the way. The plan is to do all that stuff at the same time.

So what’s up with me? Well after quitting from Websalad I started a Postgraduate Certificate in Policing, Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism at Macquarie Uni. I’ve never been in a Faculty of Arts before, I guess that makes me a cross-over of Science and Arts now, how cool is that? The main reason for taking this certificate is to expand my skills in national/organisational security and because of the class of cyberterrorism. The cool thing about this class is the fact that you can take it online if you need, then no problems with moving overseas. And no, we can’t still spy on anyone and I don’t have a licence to kill like James Bond, but I have my hopes.

The hot topic that everybody wants to know: how are the visas going? Well, last word from the British was a few weeks ago saying that they couldn’t reply in 28 days and probably in September. Yeah, so slow. The funny stuff is that they advise you not to apply 3 months before of your intended date to be in the UK. Guess what? The application is in 5 months now. Anyway, I’m not in rush at the moment. Danish visa was the backup visa, however Denmark start sounding interesting although I can’t possibly understand the language, well I can read a bit now.

Am I working now? Nope, I couldn’t because of my previous visa. However, a friend of a friend, very kindly advised me how recruitment agencies can sponsor me, solving the problem of the sponsorships. Sort of. I’ll explain more in detail later. I wanted to go to Europe mostly for work experience, although apparently I have the option to stay in Australia now… uhmm hard to decide. Also, it seems there are also opportunities in Shanghai, a quick google showed me that it can be easier than I thought before, still not sure about that.
