Time is passing, it’s now less than five years until I will hit forty years old. So he’s an update on what progress I’ve made over the last year towards 40 things to do before I’m 40.

Updated 40 things

• Have a piece of writing published - (10% Complete)

I’m marking this one as 10% Complete, as I’ve had an article on Obsolete Gamer posted. I have plans to continue writing for Obsolete Gamer, and to start writing for some other websites too.

• Learn to cook, properly. - (10% Complete)

I’ve started to cook the majority of my own meals, but they are only simple meals. I beginning to wonder, how I should define being able to ‘cook, properly’ properly.

• Sort out a proper diet, so I eat many different health foods - (100% Complete)

After a bit of research I finally got a diet sorted a few months back. I’m now eating healthy and making sure I get all my required dietary supplements.

• Have 15% or less body fat - (95% Complete)

Not long ago I posted about my Body Fat being measured at 15.5% which make me just short of my goal of 15%. You might also remember I abandoned a goal of 10% body fat as I thought it was overly optimistic goal. I think when I hit this goal, I’ll replace it with the 10% goal again.

• Read all of the BBC Top 100 reads - (20% Complete)

Twenty books read now, and I can’t say I really fancy reading many of the ones left, but I’ll keep plodding on.

• Join a Gym. - (100% Complete)

I also posted recently about joining the gym, so this one is complete.

That’s it for now, hopefully I’ll get some more of this completed before this time next year. Keep an on posts using the 40 things tag for further progress,

This should be interesting.

Just testing out Windows Live Writer.

Why the Christ does Scandisk take forever to scan a 60GB partition? Bah, I had the bright idea of doing a quick repartition of the desktop PC about 2 hours ago.

Anyway while I'm here, I'll tell you about ObscureInternet. It's has just completed it's first year of the relaunch and It's increased hugely, so much so that I think I'm gonna have to search for a new LAMP web host. The traffic hitting the forum at the peak periods of the day is grinding the forum to a halt and it's only gonna get worse as we get new users.

I'll finish the proper update when I get the desktop PC running again, I might even have decided my New year resolutions by then.

Problems almost over, watch this while you wait…..

Right, I am sorry I have not updated for a bit, but I completely suck at getting things done. To make up for it I will give you this little story from the weekend;

Conor got some money from relatives while he was away in Ireland, so he bought himself Ulimate Spiderman for his DS. After playing it for a while he looked at the packaging a found the game registration card. He told me and Suzanne he was going to fill it in, but he could answer the Telephone and Sex questions, when we asked why our six year old son said…

"I don’t have a telephone or any girlfriends"

I drinking myself stupid to c64 music, my childhood dreams have come true!!!

I'll update tomorrow when I sober up!

I'm back again, but not without the loss of a large number of my personal and family pictures. D'oh.

Happy Valentine's Day!

You should have guessed after four updates in two days, I would take a month to do another three.

Updating ObscureInternet.com on a daily basis is pretty much killing me at the moment, although I'm not writing everything myself, but I do have to reformat and enter it into the database, which is a pain in the arse. I've also made changes to the frond end (webdesign) and the back end (Database and programming) of the site just a few weeks after go live. In the future I’m looking rebranding this blog, choosing a new design for AnthonyPutsonMusic and amending some of OMD.

I've also been busy with the work that pays money. Speaking of which I've been to the gym one since Christmas, despite going away work, and staying in a hotel with a nice handy Gym in it. That’s one Gym trip in the last two months.

The good news is I'm Think of doing my ITIL exam at the end of Feb and I am reading "Instant Confidence" by Paul McKenna which is quite a good book.
