learn to drink beer
Two liters down in Prague! 4 months ago

I managed to drink two liters of beer while in Prague and I just about stomached it, but still.. I really don’t like it. At least I can do a whole one now though.


race the gumball rally
Untitled 5 months ago

I suspect the Gumball Rally could change significantly due to the events of 2007.. and it’s become too well known now anyway.


therapy
Untitled 1 year ago

It was totally worth it. I didn’t really have any problems, in the classical sense, but a lot of thoughts and thought patterns that I wanted to discuss with someone neutral. It was nearly all me talking, them listening and asking some probing questions, and it did me the world of good. With the neutral reflection I managed to change a lot of my thought patterns and recognize what qualities to nurture. It all sounds a bit hippyfied, but it wasn’t, and anyone who criticizes such a positive process probably needs to go themselves ;-)


Meet Steve Jobs (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 1 year ago

Realized I can’t be arsed. He’s not /that/ great.


climb a mountain
Untitled 2 years ago

We got lost in the clouds, stayed from the trail (already the supposedly hardest one up), and ended up scrambling up rocks for two hours, but… we made it! Getting down was the hard bit..

I finally got there!

I’ve realized I need to stay busy :)

It’s all in the mind.


Meet Steve Jobs (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 2 years ago

So how should I be going about this? I don’t think tailing him to lunch is going to be a good idea g


visit Summit the future of web apps
Untitled 2 years ago

It’s going to be good. I can’t understand why it hasn’t sold out already. Oh well, perhaps at least I’ll get near the front then ;-)


ipod my car
Untitled 2 years ago

Bought an iPod and a CarDock.. done! :)


get an ipod
Untitled 2 years ago

Not cheap, but I feel a lot better knowing my music is safe now. Got the CarDock so I can have it work seamlessly in the car too.


make lots of money doing rails work
Untitled 2 years ago

Worth doing, but start to make sure you to do it for yourself and not just for other people.


Sleep for 24+ hours solid
Untitled 3 years ago

I’ve done it too, and I wouldn’t say it’s “worth doing” as in.. “give it a try!”.. but it’s worth doing if it would help your schedule out somehow (my body naturally likes a 28 hour day, so I get out of sync easily). 26 hours is my record also.


have a mercedes
Untitled 3 years ago

It’s not ultra up to date (mid ‘90s) but it’s totally worth it. Not the world’s most exciting drive, but a solid, reliable, and stately one :)


Earn 5$ per day on Adsense
One trick.. 3 years ago

I was only making a dollar or two per day for the longest time. I changed the position and orientation of my ads, and bam, I’ve achieved what this goal is all about anyways ;-) And on less traffic too, in many days’ cases!


monetize RSS Digest (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 3 years ago

If the first two non-donor users upgrading counts, I’ve just monetized it.. except it’s now called Feed Digest – see www.feeddigest.com


Buy Mac 10.4 Tiger
Untitled 3 years ago

Worth doing but only when you end up with 1GB of memory. Tiger is MEMORY HUNGRY OUT THE ASS.


Write a rails app in 24 hours
Untitled 3 years ago

I wrote Snippets.


buy TextMate
Yes, best text editor for OS X bar none. 3 years ago

I’m a Rails coder, and it’s the best thing out there. Haven’t found a text editor as good as this before.
