How I did it
How to read Agile Web Development with Rails
It took me
2 years
It made me
say aha

How I did it: I read it in the bath mainly and on Sunday evenings. I kept pestering a developer friend with questions and he would point me to resources. You need to read the whole book to understand what it's about really unless you are already a developer or programmer. Read how I did it…

How to upgrade my laptop hard disk
It took me
1 day
It made me
proud of myself

How I did it: When I bought my ibook G4 second hand it had only a 30GB hard disk.

Pouring hot water from a kettle or a teapot has a wonderful calming sound. It’s as though there is nothing else at that moment. Cold water does not compare at all. Next time you make a cup of tea really listen.

build 100 bicycle wheels in 2008 (read all 5 entries…)
Only a few days till the end of 2008 11 months ago

At the last count it was around 75. Can’t see me doing another 25 in the next few days. But I have documented each wheel in my blog and it’s really great to be able to see them all and remember each one. I didn’t keep many records for the names of the clients though.

So I’m gonna hold out with the number till the 31st comes around and then declare the result.
