Happy New Year!

John Cleese Quotes - The Quotations Page

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.

Its 2004 and I've set myself a number of targets for the year (not resolutions as I never manage these) which will be a joy if I can do it. (I can do it!)

Objectives

1) Be more attentive and patient with my children
2) Be more positive and proactive at work (or fizzy and focused as a motivational speaker once said)
3) Pass my CIM exams
4) Write a book (or chapter in a book) or at very least start writing more in depth pieces
5) Take time to look around
6) Meet more interesting and exciting people (and keep the conversations going with those I already know)
7) Get fitter and healthy (agggh!)

If I can take steps towards all of these I will be very happy.

I'd also like to see more Internet enabled devices making a real difference for people and like to be part of a team that implements such services. Perhaps that should be I will be...

Quick retrospective:

Positives from 2003

Negatives from 2003

Too numerous to mention and besides its in the past :)
Although missing seeing my friend Gareth when he was over from the States was upsetting. Hope to see you soon!
