Well...

I say worth doing, but only because there isn’t an option between worth doing and not worth doing. I have the domains (both .com and .co.uk) registered, and have them hosted, but I haven’t actually done anything with them yet…

Oh dear

I seem to have lapsed on this goal. Haven’t been taking any pictures at all recently. Must try harder. I think I’m having the same block as I have on so many other things: if I can’t do it perfectly (in this case, tak a good, interesting picture) don’t do it at all.

Although also, if there’s nothing new to take a picture of, what’s the point taking a picture?

Pushing myself

When you feel like you’re stuck in a rut, your skills are out of date and you’re close to ‘burnout’ what do you do? Set yourself an impossible goal, of course! In work, I’m stuck on versions of SE and EE that are way old. So I’m aiming for the programmer certification on J2SE 5. If I get that, I’ll decide where to go next.

Better.

Things have been a lot better lately. I’ve been trying to get out of the house for long walks, and that seems to have made a difference. Work is still stressful, but a lot less so, and I seem to be handling it OK. Let’s hope I manage to keep this up.

Getting out

With the arrival of spring, and the clocks changing, it’s staying light a lot later in the evenings now. So this means that instead of it being dark by the time I finish work, there’s enough light left for me to go out and take a decently long walk in the woods. I’ve also been trying to go out at lunchtime – and actually managing it sometimes. And if I do that, I do notice a bit of a difference in the afternoons.

Just for fun

This week, I’m not concentrating on any partcular exercises. I’m just going to pick one or other of the guitars up every day and attempt to play something – anything. Re-familiarise myself with some of those ‘easy’ chords I used to know.
