Posts from ‘December, 2004’

Note to myself

I think of this as an early New Years Resolution!
I will no longer procrastinate, I will no longer procrastinate. Procrastination is a thing of the past as of now. I won’t even wait until tomorrow. I am wasting too much time putting off until tomorrow that which I should be doing now. It is a [...]

Happy Christmas everybody!

Wishing you all the happiest Christmas,
May your dreams come true,
and those of your family and friends too.

Photo Quest : December

I’ve just managed to take a photo of a present which completes my Photo Quest entry for this month. I am particularly pleased with one of the pics but I’ll let you discover it rather than post it here.

Hope you are all having fun approaching Christmas. I have a few more days at work [...]

We go to Geneva Airport

When I say we, I mean my colleagues and I. Last Thursday (a week ago today) was one of two annual events where we all get together (more than 200 of us) and visit a local enterprise. In the Summer we visited the local football stadium. This time it was Geneva Airport where we had [...]

25 years on

In 1979, a year after coming to Switzerland from the UK, I went on a photo “safari” to Mont Pèlerin, a small village above the Swiss town of Vevey which is between Lausanne and Montreux.

I was charmed by the cable train that leaves from Vevey and climbs in just over 1o minutes to Mont Pélerin.

And now for the good news

Woohoo! My exam results are in and I’ve passed the exam I sat in early October (and with Merit!)
I am that much closer to finishing my MBA and this result is a wonderful early Christmas present. Only 7 more tutor marked assessments, 1 exam and a Project to hand in before finishing.
I’m going to [...]

Comment mahem strikes again

Grrr. I’ve just replied to a comment on the previous post and the horrible page of errors to my Blacklist Plugin is back again. I thought I had stomped it out. Please do excuse this quirky behaviour until I can get it straightened out. The comments *are* posted however.

Goodbye number 4 bus

When I’m not using my scooter (like right now) I often use the number 4 bus to go to work.
The full story is that I either walk ten minutes to the number 9 bus stop or take a small bus near where I live (the number 34) and take the number 9 to the center [...]

Online communities

I never really talked about it but I’m a member of several communities. It’s more of a habit in some cases, let me explain.
First I am a member of my gaming community. I joined at the time I was playing Asheron’s call 1 and I met a lot of the members when I went to [...]

Preventive measures

Just so that you know, I took my courage in both hands and went to PHPAdmin and globally turned off all comments on posts prior to the last one. I know it’s a bit defeatist of me but I haven’t been able to install a decent Spam Killer yet and I don’t get many [...]
