This goal got pushed to one side for six months or so due to finances and unexpected circumstances, but I finally got there a couple of weeks ago. The system is working beautifully – no hassles whatsoever. :D

I feel like I’m definitely making progress with this. I started a Flickr-based Project 365 challenge in October, which involves taking and posting at least one photo every day for a year. It’s sometimes tough to maintain the commitment, but I’m learning a lot through daily practice and experimentation, and also from providing and receiving feedback from other Flickrites.
I’m still doing pretty well with this. Since my last entry I’ve watched:
No Country for Old Men (4.5), 30 Days of Night (3), Cloverfield (4), The Usual Suspects + (4), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (4), The Golden Compass (3), Three Colours: Blue (4), Iron Man (4.5), Twelfth Night (1996) (4), Stardust (3.5), Ratatouille (4), Happy Feet (3), Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2.5), Once (4), Control (4), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (4).
