My 2010 Goals didn’t happen exactly as expected, but I’m happy with the result.

• Buy the new Digital DSLR Nikon D3x camera I so much wanted. Now I want that and the Canon equivalent.
• To fix up my Suzuki Hayabusa (GSX1300R). It’s in need of some minor work like; new hoses, tank clean, new battery and a major service by the mechanic.
• I had this grand plan to lose 18kgs to 20kg, and be at the weight I was four years ago. But I did not make this happen YET.
• I wanted to print a few big photos and place them on the walls, but this never happened. I must do this in 2011.
• Trips were taken: Port Macquarie: a family holiday and exploration of the local area; Orange: for only one night, but we squeezed in allot; Barrington Tops – Telegherry: We camped for four nights, and loved every minute; Brisbane: for a wonderful wedding of Ashley and Rebecca.

Halfway through the year I completely changed gears from a technical & hardware support role to become a mixed software developer (Java, PHP, HTML, CSS, Ant, Jenkins, puppet, Zend framework, JavaScript, SEO etc etc) while keeping the technical & hardware support role at Future School and it’s been a blast! For the second half of 2010. I worked on several different projects with a handful of smart people out side of Future School and I’m looking forward to what happens in 2011, and at Future School of course.

I asked Stacey to marry me in November, which she most certainly said yes. This made me a very happy kid again, more about this in our about us section on how we met.
