Woohoo, it's 2002!

Post #22,787 by pwhysall 1/1/02 9:04:10 AM Reply	Woohoo, it's 2002! So what big lies^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hnew year's resolutions are we gonna make this time? Here's mine: Learn to drive and get a car. Contribute a code patch to at least one open source project. This will entail bringing my coding skills up to something a little better than "can print 'Hello, World' 1000 times". Lose a little weight (the festive season has left me somewhat lardy around the middle :]) Do more exercise. I'm strong (well, when your job involves things like unpacking and deploying 30 PCs with 17" and up monitors, re-racking the machine room, etc, you develop good upper-body strength), but unfit. So, while you might not like me to thump you one, running away would be a very sound strategy :-D Take up a non-computer-related hobby. I've always had a latent interest in local history, so may join the local group. Do something with my bathroom. It's brown, tiled all 4 walls. Some 400 tiles. Go figure. I think I'll have to review this post in 12 months time and see how tragically far short I fell :) Peter Shill For Hire [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal]

Install a 10/100 Ethernet wire into the Bathroom so that you can use a laptop or desktop on the toliet to check your email. :) Either that or a "Disco" ball, lava lamps, and black light with black light posters to revive that 1970's look. :) "Before Christmas it is 'Ho ho ho', after Christmas it is 'Owe owe owe'" - Santa Norm

You may get email in the bathroom and have to patch a program while pinching a loaf at the same time. :) "In order to completely solve a problem, you must make sure that the root of the problem is completely removed!

I've also vowed to accomplish the homestead "honeydo list" this year. Its entirety may be impossible...but the painting and other miscellaneous corrections should be doable.

With all the tops food over Christmas, and hardly any opportunity to exercise due to so much heat and bushfire smoke, putting on my work trousers this morning was a sobering experience. D'oh! On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

I mean, it must be that they make their models smaller each year, right?!? []: Back to the stupid zipper fly, since the store I went to didn't even have 501's that size. Idunno, perhaps Levi's don't even make 'em that big. Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Knows Fucking Everything
Post #22,833 by jbrabeck 1/2/02 8:22:54 AM Reply	So let's start a "support" group.... I'm a gonna join the 3-4 club. Need to shed about 15kg/35lb. How about posting the "progress" report weekly/monthly? Helps to keep on track if we have to tell everyone how we are doing.... Of course we're all fine, upstanding, truthful...

Post #22,838 by Yendor 1/2/02 9:59:39 AM Reply	I'm in. Lemme in on that 3-4 club. I also resolve to get much housework done. Painting of at least 2 rooms is on the agenda. As is fixing my garage door. Other than that, it's going to depend on the finances. And, of course, there's the AIDSRide, for which training starts this week. Or maybe next week. :) -YendorMike "The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by the skeptics or the cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities.
