2011 Round-Up

Posted on January 1, 2012 by Damo| Leave a comment

It’s been another year, I’ve procrastinated, explored, learned, worked, dossed about and more.  But mostly procrastinated and dossed about.

I did the Imagine Cup ,that was probably the highlight of my year really, travelling to the states was incredible and I can’t wait to go back some day.  I still haven’t done most of the things I posted in the list back at the start of this blog.

I’m quitting drinking alcohol for new years, and as a sort of side-resolution I’ll be making a serious effort to improve my physical fitness from now on too.  (I don’t really have any problem specifically, I just feel I’d be happier without alcohol and with a bit more muscle!).

Well, I hope everyone has a prosperous and happy new year!

Music over time

Posted on April 1, 2011 by Damo| Leave a comment

I made this little graphic a while ago while considering the music that I’ve listened to over the past few years.  It’s obviously only a small snapshot of the songs, but I basically went through my iTunes library in order of purchase/add date and produced this chart.

Music over Time

Music over Time

I think I was feeling particularly attached to the past at the time, so there are also a few events in there.  I think in some ways the things that happen in my life do change the kind of music I’m tempted to get in to.

And the dance goes on…

So there’s 5 weeks of uni left until the 2-week break thingy – give or take.  Can’t be over soon enough.  There’s maths assignments, projects, inane sessions, endless lectures and deadlines and that’s just the academic side of the show.

On the other side of things I’ve got deciding what’s going on next year on the agenda.  Stay or go? Home or here? Either way, I need to make a decision and be more proactive this summer than I was last.  Hopefully I want to accomplish a few things:

  • Rewrite of Coyote-Sports.com finished.
  • Pass (yes – actually pass – another story for another time) my CBT.
  • Do something about jobs and work experience and the like.
  • Write another iOS app to get some more £ coming in next year.
  • Tend to the needs of my current app.
  • Try to push my company/personal image a bit and get some design/coding work over the break too.

I’m sure someone will poke me at some point and say “Hey – you forgot! you said you’d definitely sort out x this summer!” shortly after publishing (under the dreamy assumption that anybody will actually read this tripe) – and to that person I say: sorry – I have no more time, because I also want to try to enjoy myself a bit during the summer.  Last summer was spent procrastinating and worrying about stupid things that can’t be altered.  I do way too much of that and it’s a habit I want to kick as soon as I can.  Easy said.
