I am working on this, trying to blog more and be more careful in the quality of my blog posts

With our new Canon PowerShot A710 and a 1GB SD card we are taking lots more photos and uploading them to Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mspecht/). Most are not very good but at least we are taking more.

Signed up for a Flickr pro account and now uploading photos. Still have to get sorting the physical photos and scan them onto the computer

Now that summer is here and I have my equipment I have been windsurfing 2 – 3 times a week

In the last 5 months I have lost about 9-10kg (depending on the day) and I feel great! Really want to stabilize at around 68-69kg

I have 2 weeks to get this sorted!

Now I walk between the floors in our building, I even went for a 30min bike ride yesterday after 5 hours at the Melbourne Show!

The biggest issue I have found is keeping the discipline to the Weekly Review. One thing I am trying it to join up the Productivity Buddy system being run over at The Podcast Network (http://www.thepodcastnetwork.com).

I am starting to do this, lost about 5kgs in the last month. Not eating take aways for lunch is really helping.

Read the book a while back and now I am in the process of implemtation. I am also listening to The Podcast Network Personal Productivity show for help and support.

Melbourne is a great city to live in, if you can get over the cold weather.

Excellent conference great content and people

Looks like I will have to wait to do this as it is delayed while the guys get The Podcast Network going.

I am in the process of trying to do this, 6 weeks in and things are looking good.

To take the time to really understand the world and reflect on what is happening around me. For more info see http://myhrblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/live-slowly.html or http://www.edge.org/q2005/q05_5.html#dysone

Got the job, quit the current job. Now just have to succeed at the new job (a new thing)

Just quit my job yesterday, start in my new one at the end of Jan. We need to move to Melbourne to do it though

Canada! Probably Silverstar and Big White

This one will be in Sydney May 2005. On the surface it seems that they will have a slightly different focus which is great! More info can be found at http://digitaldialogues.blogs.com/learning_technologies/2004/12/blogtalk_downun.html

The Conference will be in Melbourne Feb 2005, details can be found at http://bloggingconference.com/index.php. It is being run by Mick Stanic (http://www.splatt.com.au/blog)
