Flashback

by lunc

Recently I’ve been drawn back to gotpoetry.com.  In a small way I helped shape that place – a very small way indeed however enough that I have a silly sentimental attachment to it, with the emphasis mental.  I now take a silent role – reading and rating anonymously and posting the occasional haiku in the [...]

Final Day

by lunc

So here I am in the one thousand and first day of my first 101 in 1001 project.  I say first because I almost certainly will do another, although I’m going to think more carefully about the tasks for the next one so I won’t start it immediately. It’s unlikely that I will complete any [...]

Day 1000

by lunc

So tomorrow is the last day of this 1001 days.  I certainly won’t complete all the 101 tasks and it is doubtful that I will complete any more at all.  I may have a rush of energy and skip though one or two over the next 36 hours but I think that mostly I feel [...]

Another Two Done

by lunc

Another month has passed and I’ve completed another two tasks.  I had to cheat a bit on the Burns Night dinner by actually having it at home myself.  That’s good enough I reckon since I can’t go to one nearby and anyway the next one won’t be until after the 1001st day is up. So [...]

Happy New Year?

by lunc

Will it be a happy new year?  Well, I hope so and on the code front things look good.  Firstly Xmarks was saved at the last minute and I’ve switched back immediately without issue.  Lets hope that they stay afloat because the alternative wasn’t so nice.  Secondly Drupal 7.0 (D7) has been released.  I’ve wanted [...]

11 May 2011

by lunc

I’ve just, for the first time, worked out when my 101 in 1001 is going to finish – 11 May 2011.  That’s only next year (and very soon to become “this year” and “a few months time”).  This is depressing.  Mainly because I haven’t finished a single task in the last few months.  I’ve not [...]

RIP Xmarks

by lunc

If you are a user of Xmarks (formerly Foxmarks) you will know that it’s going to close early next year.  I’ve already switched away to Firefox Sync which doesn’t seem as good (it doesn’t seem to sync new links automatically nor warn you it didn’t do it when you close FF, nor does it seem [...]

Over half way there!

by lunc

I’ve completed 51 things on my 101 list.  Yay!  Er you don’t seem too impressed.  Fair enough.  It’s not like they were all world changing events – not for you anyway.   For me, well, OK perhaps world changing would be over egging it a bit, but all very nice things to have achieved.  Glad to [...]
