Happy New Year!

Bet you weren’t expecting a post by me

Just wanted to wish you all a happy new year. Did you make any wishes? I sure did:

• Continue my exercising routines and lose at least 20 lbs
• Turn this blog around and point it back in the right direction again
• Make a nice (at least $500/month) income off the ‘net by the end of the year (2008 is my year - I can feel it!)
• Learn how to better juggle my personal life and work life
• Get a girlfriend (had to toss that in )
• Finish up all of my current programs and scripts and open source them (probably under a modified BSD license)
• Perhaps start doing heavy-duty affiliate marketing

There’s also a lot more - but that’s the gist of it. What did you wish for, and more importantly, do you think you will keep your resolution?

Oh, and if anyone is wondering how my little break is going, it is fine. It is a bit weird not blogging every day though. In the past few days I’ve slowly switched my main OS over to Ubuntu from OS X Tiger, and I will be dual screening with a 20″ and a 15″ monitor soon (before the 20″ was alone, and the 15″ was hooked up to my iBook G4). I’ve always been a Slackware and Fedora/Red Hat fan - but I must admit Ubuntu is alright and is ten times better than I remember it in the early days.

It is amazing what a simple change of attitude can do for you. I’m getting twice the work done in the same amount of time - and I may even pop back into my regular blog schedule sooner than I had previously thought. When it does relaunch there will be quite a few changes though - hopefully for the better.

Oh well, it is late, so I must be going. Talk to you later.

PS: Thanks again to everyone for your kind, supportive comments - they really mean a lot
