Spend less time fooling around on the net and more time actually working
Untitled 3 years ago

It is really easy. All you need is a job without a computer.



plant a tree
Untitled 4 years ago

Hmm. What kind of tree should I plant? And where.

I think I will plant a cherry tree or an apple tree into the forest. The fact that they don’t grow naturally around here makes this very interesting and even funny.

I could also sneak to somebodys back yard and plant a tree there. A worthless tree that expands quickly as hell.



Read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
Untitled 4 years ago

Read the book over 10 years ago in finnish. Maybe I should take the time and read the original… After all the book is filled with verbal jokes impossible to translate.



type with 10 fingers
Untitled 4 years ago

I’ve used 10 fingers to type with qwerty-keyboard for over 10 years now. A while ago I tried to type on dvorak keyboard. Couldn’t stand it.

Typing with 10 fingers has become natural for me. The keyboard is actually extension of my body.

Basic skill 4 years ago

This is a basic skill. Like walking and talking.



Read the book "Dan Brown - The Da Vinci Code"
Untitled 4 years ago

It is basicly an averagy detective story. Very well written and entertaining one.
In fact, it is so well written that I must remind you that it is mostly fiction.

Untitled 4 years ago

This should be an easy task. Just have to buy a roll of duct tape first…



clean my room
Untitled 4 years ago

I got started with this task, but my room is in such chaotic condition that the I don’t have the energy to finish it rightaway.

I need to get organised…



be more creative
Untitled 4 years ago

How can you become creative? I believe that creativity isn’t just about painting pictures or writing songs and poetry. Creativity is not restricted only to the works of art.
It is a way of life and a way to think.
Something you should do everyday. be open to new things. Try new things everyday.

Do not get stuck into the way how things are done before.



build a house
Untitled 4 years ago

This is a longterm goal. When I have time I will split this into smaller pieces and start working from the bottom. This is something I really want to do but it is not going to happen today or even this year.

But I am quite optimistic that within 10 years it will be finished.



Improve my PHP skill
OOP 4 years ago

I need training and practise and knowledge on object oriented programming. The documentation on php.net isn’t much of a help in this matter.

Could anyone recommend a good book around the subject?

Become fluent in more than one foreign language
Untitled 4 years ago

Currently I am fluent in finnish (my mother tongue) and english. I ‘ll manage speaking swedish in most everyday situations.

And if I ever manage to get lost in Germany I know the language enough to get something to eat and drink. I have german skills like a grunting caveman.

But after all – german is the ultimate language of command.



donate sperm
Progress report 4 years ago

OK. I had to call to the sperm bank today but I forgot. Tomorrow then.

I gues I will have to mentally prepare for the call so I wouldn’t embarrass myself by bursting into laughter.
Sperm donations and sperm banks are serious business and I am a serious person.



stick to a budget for a year
day by day 4 years ago

Sticking to a budget is day by day progress. I believe that I will have to take every day (or at least every other day) a few minutes to take a look at my spending and budget.

Let’s check back after a year… or a month… or a day.



make a budget
Help from a computer program 4 years ago

Today I started using a kind of home budget software. Let’s move on to the next step – stick to the budget!



design a shoulderbag
No such bag exists - YET. 4 years ago

I need a catasrophe bag. A bag where I could put everything I need.
And if I ever lost the bag it would be catasrophic because at the same time I would lose my keys, my cell phone, wallet and all other everyday necessities.



Quit Smoking
I did it. 4 years ago

No smoking since february 22. 2005. My goal is to be smoke free for 10 000 days. I will reach the goal in 2032.
I will be 54 years old and celebrate by smoking big fat cuban cigar.



throw my tv out a window
TV is the evil invention of the devil 4 years ago

I noticed that I spent far too much time watching TV so I gave it away.

Now I have more time to surf around the internet…
