Corner of solitude

Whoo! I’ve done it, it’s been a long time coming but my porfolio is finally finished. I’m so stoked, it’s the highlight of my day, I’m going to celebrate, it doesn’t even matter that it’s sunday. The last competency I had to sort out was Testing apparatus and circuits, and I just finished it a few minutes ago.

I’m well on my way to accomplishing my top goal of becoming a licensed electrician. A month ago I re-enrolled in the Capstone course, I’ve studied regularly and now I’ve finished fine tuning my portfolio. All I have to do is past my theory and practical exams.

My other goals haven’t been going as well, unfortunately. Here’s a rundown.

1. I haven’t added anymore content to this site.
2. I’m only halfway through reading the Colour of magic, the first Discworld novel, how the hell am I going to read all of them?
3. Getting a license is way down the bottom of my list of priorities at the moment.
4. Buying an graphics software is expensive, I’m trying to save for it.
5. Despite my resolve to blog regularly, a whole month has passed by without a single word written from me.
6. I’m upto the third NGE episode review.
7. I’ve got no time for artwork or creative writing either.
8. Saving for a trip is really hard, but I’m getting there.
9. Dental checkup is due in september, hopefully.
10. Learning a language or an instrument will have to wait after the Capstone.

What to do with waydh.net, waydh.com and farkinggreat.com? So I still own these domain, and I don’t know what to do with them. They are currently not being used. My main one farkinggreat.com is the domain I originally had and still have. Whatareyoudoinghere.net has long gone and expired, it was going to be my main vehicle and I was going to purchase every other waydh titled domains. Thats why I still have waydh.net and waydh.com which I’m tempted to just let them expire, because it’s just a waste of money and bandwidth. And my current vehicle is this blog, the Corner of Solitude.

I have several options;

1. Let them expire and be done with it
2. Sell them to domain fetishist, yes folks stranger things are afoot in this world of ours.
3. Donate them to poor sods in third world countries like Ethiopia who wants to give away their dead rich relative’s money away
4. Or give them as a present to one of my elderly 90 year old relatives who probably has never seen the internet let alone know what a domain is. And who’s idea of technological advancement is the abacus.

For those who are wondering who the hell I am, this is for you, apart from having sex my current interests are as follows.

• Book I’m reading: The colour of magic by Terry Pratchett, like I said I wanted to start reading all his novels from first to last.
• Music I’m listening to: The classic album by Anthrax; State of Euphoria.
• Movie I saw recently: Alvin and the Chipmunks, you know what folks? I was an Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon tragic when I was growing up.
• Dessert that I love the most: Pavlova, it’s food’s personification of heaven.
• I go on the net: For five minutes a day to check my email, or ten to do a blog post
• Living in: Cronulla, near the beach.
• In my spare time: I like to jog of an afternoon, or sit down to do something creative, or do completely nothing at all.
• Working as: An Electrician/Fitter.
• Watching sport on Tv: Cricket, go INDIA!
• I’m a: Proud Christian, so get away from me you Infidels! less I smite thee, Har Har Har.
• I generally like to: Make a fool of myself, like develop a twitch in public and make people nervous.

It’s just that there is a big “BUT” getting in the way.

Here’s the list:

1. Buy an external hard drive, preferably one with a terabyte or greater of memory capacity.
2. Back up all the stuff on my computer with said hard drive.
3. Rip all my music from my cds onto my computer. I own approx over 200 cds of albums alone, not including singles or bootleg stuff, and also Lauren’s own hefty collection.
4. Upload all our dvds.
5. Back up this website onto my computer.
6. Get a new HD camera.
7. Purchase and install a new graphics editor such as the latest photoshop
