Hello, 2006

I am now back on broadband, and as promised I will now provide you with my start-of-the-year entry, even if it is two days late.

The past few years, I have predicted things, but since my predictions are always bang on it's getting a bit boring, so this year I thought I'd share with you my new years resolutions.

  1. Be altruistic at least once

    If everyone on earth helped everyone else just once this year, the world would be a better place. Possibly even a hippy paradise planet, attracting visitors from across the galaxy who come in search of fine ganja, or an easy planet to subjugate.

  2. Work more

    Last year, I fitted my work in around the rest of my life, with amusing and predictable results. This year I will have to work more. I am determined to free myself of the ongoing CMS joke, and at some point I'll need to earn some money. And if I get everything done that I want to, hopefully I'll have something more interesting to show for my year than some closed-source commercial Flash animations.

  3. Push the boundaries

    Evolution has brought us so far, and I must be pretty close to perfection, but during 2005 I didn't grow wings or laser-beam eyes. Technology will have to pick up where evolution left off, so this year I'll be reading Wikipedia to learn everything I need to know about genetic engineering.

  4. Play more

    Last year I worked and dealt with life's little problems, but often that didn't leave me with any time for Counter-Strike:Source or San Andreas. This is clearly a terrible injustice, and must change.

  5. Stay awesome

    It's a well known fact amongst the social elite of this fair country that I am awesome. This year I aim to secure that status by maintaining my amazing physique and awe-inspiring intellect, and I will open offices abroad to spread the message.

  6. Keep in touch

    Although 2005 did see me start a talker, and as a result re-unite with some online friends, I have been very bad at keeping in touch with my offline friends, often forgetting birthdays and failing to reply to text messages. And rarely initiating conversations. 2006 will see me change all this when I send snail mail letters to everyone in my offline address book, telling them to come talk to me on my talker.

  7. Restore radiac.net to it's former glory

    I miss the radicam and the animated sliding menu, and this year, lets be honest, most of my diary has sucked. Possibly because I haven't done anything exciting to write about, but that's a poor excuse - I never had anything exciting to write about before either. So, that'll be new back-end, new design and new content then. Sure.

  8. Build an army of robot minions

    I have been working on blueprints for a robotic kitten. Once it is complete and has proved itself on the battlefield, I will train it to build copies of itself. They will, in turn, build copies of themselves, and soon I will have a massive army to carry me to power and destroy the speed cameras of the world. All I will have to do is place orders on dabs and maplin, and wait three days for the economy postage.

  9. Think of another new years resolution

    All the good lists have 10 points, and I refuse to be bested by the FBI's most wanted or that Nielsen chap.

May 2006 be good for you all.
