So, yet another year over and another year older. As I have done last year, and the year before, this post outlines my goals for next year and assesses how well I did with those set for 2010. Here’s last year’s list: Become a Microsoft Certified Professional – this was delayed due to illness, but [...]
Back in April I decided to take a well-earned break from work. During that week, I got a lot accomplished. Mostly I worked on my software project (details to be revealed fairly soon, probably) but towards the end I started my first decorating project in my flat.
It’s a little late, I know, but it’s still relatively early in the year – early enough to set some targets. Last year I set the following goals: Become a Microsoft Certified Professional – exam 1 of 3 complete (with flying colours ), half way through studying for the second now Complete a software project [...]

The target I set is just £50 away, so if you haven’t done so already please, please sponsor me for whatever [...]
My sister and I are going to be jumping out of a plane at circa 13,000 ft (weather permitting) to raise money for charity on 7th April. I’m raising money for Alzheimer’s Society, and she’s collecting sponsorships for Cancer Resarch UK. If you would like to sponsor me, I’ve set up a Just Giving page [...]
Inspired by my friend David’s own post, this is my brief review of 2008 and my goals for 2009. There hasn’t been any major change in my life through 2008 (that I can reveal on here, anyway), but I’ve managed to do plenty of interesting things at work. I think the thing that 2008 will [...]
