In late January of 2006, I finally got up off the couch and decided to do something about my lack of fitness. It was pitiful starting out – couldn’t do much exercise at all, was in terrible shape. But instead of looking down the loooooong road ahead on the way to fitness, I looked at it this way: I’m going to be a year older a year from now, and I’m going to be standing around, taking stock of my situation. Wouldn’t it be a great present to my year-from-now self to be all fit and trim? Wouldn’t that be cool?

So every day, I workout and think about the present I’m giving my 6-months-from-now self, and how much I’m going to appreciate it then. :)

A spectacular book on development, from what was to me at the time a very odd source.

Wow, how long can you put off something that you KNOW you should do, and that is going to jump and bite you hard in the tuckus one day if you don’t?

Well, turns out it’s at least a couple of years. But I finally did it! I’m fired up. Finally I can rebuild the main business project (a web application) in a few minutes and be back up and running.

Now on to setting up rsync to backup the repository. :)
