New Year's Resolutions

Ah, the beginning of another year! In a groggy haze on New Years Eve, I promised someone (or only?) That would be good this year. I told him that it would draw up my New Year's Resolutions - particularly after the roller-coaster year I had last year. Well, a promise is a promise. I can not very well begin the new year, breaking the resolution that was going to write my New Year's resolutions, right? So, here is divided into monthly, is the control freak that am.JAN - Donate your old PC to a worthy RelativeAfter all, it's more rewarding to give than to receive (though not as gratifying for the purchase). So I think it's au revoir to my X86 sitting in a corner of my study. Now who do I give? Who will appreciate my very first personal computer? My 91-year-old grain so you can learn to write? Or my niece 5 years of age that she, too, can fall in love with Frogger and Pacman I grew up with instead of playing with the PlayStation 2? FEB - Home RDO (listed Day Out) negotiate with the boss at work (not online, of course) in the park one day a month. I feel the wind in your hair, grass underfoot and bird droppings occasionally in my head. I want to feel free as I prepare my daily status report. I pretend that I am independent, even if the price I pay is grass stains on my dress. For once, I want to live like the lucky b !@#$%^ s on TV ads.MARCH - Test Drive a hot spot can be smart.

In March, the chief borrow Centrino notebooks and test drive a hot spot. I sit down coffee from work, sip coffee, take my Friand and surf the net to check the performance of my stock portfolio (yes, as if). This will be the last that I have lived - no, I'm really living - because I can work without being tethered to power cords. I tell the rest of the world, I have a WiFi lifestyle.APRIL - Turn your multimedia PC Karaoke MachineIn April, I will make effective use of my all-in-one multimedia PC. Not content to only show the tape of the TV, watch DVDs with 7.1 channel output and play all my Shoot 'em up games. 'll Go one step further. I will turn it into a karaoke machinein time for Australian Idol II. It is used to life there. Now is the song in it. I have proof. 2003 Year-End Google Zeitgeist shows that Australian Idol was the most popular question on the Internet in Australia (www.google.com / press / zeitgeist.html). Look, I'm there with the in-crowd. He contributed to the incredible statistics. Well, Cosima! Very good! May - Clean the electronic files of the Red / CD / FloppiesYes, like the pruning of autumn, this cleaning process is tedious, but necessary. Furthermore, we can not afford to wait until spring to open the electronic file of spring cleaning. At the rate I'm archiving, backup and triple ghosting my files, which store a complete file of CD between autumn and early Springon cabinet fulls three it already has. DiskJUNE Maybe you'll have a 200 GB external hard drive - Stop the financial MadnessOh end, I'd hate Junebut every year-end financial business! Buy something one last chance to make tax deductions this year! "You can see the values.

A $ 35 per month or $ 420 a year, is cheaper than a new PDA, laptop or camera. E-deductible too! July - Expand My HorizonsOutdoorsThere no reason to squeeze me in the house just because it's cold. I have to stop playing video games. After all, it's hard to pretend I'm one of the following sounds: James Bond, Lara Croft, Tony Hawk, or Harry Potter. Go outside and enjoy the fresh air and cold. I like biking, hiking and trekking. I will try bungee jumping, sky parasailing diving absailingYeah, right! Who am I kidding?
