ok I've almost given up trying to find time to blog about what I've been up to, so here is a concise version.

Been : Brisbane for a Wedding, home for Christmas, Rotorua for the weekend with Emma for a mud wrap.

Listening to: Edith Piaf and James Brown ( not to together )

Reading:
1) Test-Driven Development By Example - By Kent Beck.

Only about 1/3 of the way through it - excellent book, suggested to me by Cayne - well worth getting.

2) Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.

Only about - ok not even through the prologue and already enjoying it.

Playing:

Killzone on the PS2, good game although, bugger me if a mouse and keyboard isn't a better way to play FPSs.

Seen:

We went to Cosi Fan Tutti at the Opera House. It was brilliant, must try and go see more opera.\
Work:

While trying no to jinx myself, all seems ok, some of the shine has worn off. But the immediate people I work with are still and excellent bunch and I'm still learning so all is well.

Thoughts for the New Year::

a) Learn a new language - spoken, not geek.

b) Go somewhere interesting.

c) Try and get to Java one.
