How I did it
How to learn the piano again
It took me
4 months
It made me
Content

How I did it: My girlfriend bought me a KORG electronic stage-piano for Christmas/birthday. I sounds great, and even better with a decent pair of headphones!The piano wouldn't fit in our bedroom, so it's in the lounge -- all the more incentive to play. So now it's whenever I feel like it -- and occasionally I even practise (different to playing).Of course, I'm always "learning", but that's not really the point so I'm going to say this goal is complete.

How to make a Christmas DVD for my friends and family
It took me
2 days
It made me
Shiny

How I did it: Used OS/X on my sisters Mac Mini. Pretty straightforward, although hard for a Linux-otaku such as myself to admit that the Mac did it a lot better than Ubuntu (at the moment, at least!!). Read how I did it…

Learn the piano again (read all 2 entries…)
Needed: GEAR 7 months ago

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but it’s been sitting in the back of my mind. Now, maybe, we are settled enough (or at least, we’ve realised we’re NEVER going to settle down) that it’s worth getting a piano.

I’ve got my eye on the KORG SP250—a good entry-level digital piano with variably weighted keys and enough features to keep me happy for the foreseeable future.

Thoughts: Tori Amos has some beautiful piano music.

become more organised
Untitled 3 years ago

Finally moved into our new flat—move space, more organisation, better feng shui … ah it’s a good life after all.

I’m also more organised at work, although it’s more for necessity and the need to report my activities every week. Sometimes it’s good to have a strict team leader?

learn kung fu (read all 4 entries…)
Ongoing, as always ... 3 years ago

I’m going to mark this as “done”, although it’s something you never really finish doing. However, I’m learning (twice a week at the kwoon) ... and I want the spot for something else! :-)
