"I don't want to go through life wondering about what could have been."

Ummmm....

So I've been playing around with my new toy, and found this rather useless feature. My cameraphone can take Negatives? What the hell for? A Negative is a pre-developed photo right? Right. So I'm now thinking... Digital photos do away with the necessity for development, which means Negatives are redundant, right? Right. So, unless someone felt sorry for the Negative, I do not see the point, right? Right.

Oh, just for the record, that is a pic of the festive lights along beach road.

So...

Here was sitting in my office, mind my own business, and doing everyone else's work when SUDDENLY I get an IM from our AD Administrator...

CdP: Yo Dude, you got a DVD writer?
ME: No, not yet.
CdP: Then come and get it.
ME: WOOOOHOOOO!

So there we go! Play on!

STUFF IT

My motto and auto-response for this year is going to be: STUFF IT!

All together now... STUFF IT!!

Bouncy Bouncy

Ah, yes... the code-word for when you restart a server... today it applies to our switches and routers. How nice. Bouncy, Bouncy, everyone!

WEIGHT THIS BITCH!

Isn't it just amazing how every single time without fail when people get together to have a nice family feast, the topic that ALWAYS comes up is about weight, and then it's always how much we've put on in the last few weeks, and the solution being how much we plan to loose in the next few months?

PEOPLE PLEASE!! We're EATING HERE!!!

I suppose those conversations do serve some purpose... It's the reason for #2 on this list.

My New Phone!

Weeeeeeee...

The Samsung E710 is the new extension of my arm!

Now just to figure out how it works! *muses*

Work is a bitch!

So today we got our order of new computers... 400 boxes! Yes, that's not a typo.

It was about 6 of us needing to offload and move this stuff... took about 5 hours. Not a whole bunch of fun... AND it just happened to be a rather warm day - 27°C.

The 2005 wishlist

So… another new year in upon us, and here I sit thinking about resolutions. Well, I don’t do resolutions, but I do have some… lets call them, GOALS.

1. Pay off debts: This is a biggy. There is a lot to still do, especially with the car installments, but I really want to try and get it down quite a bit this year. Of course this may be a little more difficult if I have those dents fixed...

2. Exercise more: My gym contract will come in handy here. Last year I took almost 10kgs off my 3^rd wheel, but went and put 3 of that back on over Christmas! Doh! So this year my goal will be to removed 13kgs and take my 15” tire down to a 10”.

3. Stop some bad habits: I bite my fingers often… particularly when I’m stressed. This year I’m gonna let them grow a bit. Some other rather not-so-great habits include swearing. Trying to control that one!!

4. Stress less: I am bad in this. I get stressed quite quickly sometimes. Sometimes it takes me a while, but usually I get pretty badly stressed out. R E L A X. Life is not worth it.

5. Take opportunities and make the most of them: I’ve had some huge opportunities come my way in the past and for various insecurities, fear and just plain blatant stupidity I didn’t take them. This year my inner 75-year old man is gonna pass away.

6. Study something: My boss will love that. I have the chance to study for free this year and I think I may just do that. I’m in to the whole writing scene now, so lets see what happens.

7. Be more tolerable, but take less crap: Okay, so that may seem like a contradiction, but really, it’s not. Last year when I made a decision on something, I stuck to it, even in cases when I was wrong… So this year, we’re gonna try and loosen up a bit, but not be walked all over.

8. Go Overseas: I have been saying for the last 10 years that I wanna go overseas… this year I’m gonna make it happen.

9. Become Famous: Nuff said.

So there it is… lets see how that goes.

Unbelieveable...
