do you also find that sometimes you think you’ve spent an hour doing something but you’ve actually spent five? i’ve been wanting to learn Ruby (and Python) for ages now. i keep on complaining that i can’t find the time and then the above occurs. isn’t it ironic… don’t ya think…. it’s like rain on a… oops, i digress.

Geez... a year has gone by!
It’s gone well! Just to give you a bit of background, I’ve been a Unix sysadmin for a long time and I’ve always been keen to write software. So…
This year I developed a cool little app with Ruby on Rails for the customer service department at the company that I work for. It received enough attention that I was offered to move into the engineering department developing Java applications.
It’s been a bit hairy learning Java from scratch and trying to be productive as early as possible, but I’m learning loads and more importantly having fun!
So I guess, I’m learning to maximise the amount of time that I have, although I still have a long way to go.
What about yourself?? How have things panned out for you over the past year?

Hmmm.
Ah. Ummm. Well…. I still waste plenty of time but the time I have available to waste is limited. So, that’s a good thing. Right?
Also, I now call it “research”. Which much of it is. So, that’s also a good thing.
Its the gaming. Stoopid werd gamez.
