Blog Date: Friday, February 02, 20072007 - First post It's already February! I haven't posted anything this new year yet, so I thought I'd try to string a few sentences together and give you all an update.First off Happy New Year! Hope you all had a fab Xmas and that you are starting to shed the excesses of the festive period by adhering all those well intended new-years resolutions. Myself - I've started attending the local gym and have surprised myself by quite enjoying it. The reason I started it was to try and build up some stamina so that I could last longer than a couple of days snowboarding without needing a vat of deep heat and a massage every evening (though that would have been quite nice). So I put in a month before the holiday and I think it had quite a discernable effect. I didn't ache anywhere near as much as the last time I went. So.... Snowboarding. Well it had been five years since I last went (pictures) and I have been meaning to go again ever since. But, due to a lack of others to go with, a desire to save money and general laziness on my part, I hadn't sorted it out. This time someone else did all the organising (thanks Helen) and all I had to do was pay and turn up. So glad I did. Forgotten how much I enjoyed the mountains and the snow and the barely controlled downhill hurtling. Had a great time (evidence). In fact I had so much fun that I'm going again in March. Other than that I feel that the Chrimbo period and the holiday have provided a good break from the intense work schedule of late 2006. Too much work make Bif a dull boy. Hopefully 2007 will address the balance. Once final thing - backup BACKUP BACKUP! Had a hard drive crunch to a halt a couple of weeks ago. I had most data backed up up to a few weeks prior so it wasn't an unmitigated disaster, but I have still had to spend a good 20-25 hours getting my system back up and running to a pre-crash state. Formatting, partitioning, installing windows, finding and installing applications, restoring data. Realising I had lost all my saved games and all the music I had written was a blow. but I think I'm over it now. Just in the process of buying a huge external drive to store a full back up onto. Remember. Once it's gone, it's gone. Lesson learned. |
