8/10 & 1920 x 1200 for the laptop, about the same for the Mac on the TV.
2009 has been and gone now, and I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand I’ve made a load of new friends through taking over the quiz at The Adelphi, Pin and doing one at the Nation of Shopkeepers here in Leeds. I’ve made a fair few new friends through my endeavour to unite the digital folks of Leeds with snZero, which is still getting more than 50 people a month turning up. I even made random friends in the shape of The Salts girls through a drunken night out early in the year. Truth be told that my facebook friend count has gone up quicker and to a greater degree than ever before. And for this I am happy.
That said, work has been a up and down slalom of emotions, busy for 12 months, new clients, demanding decisions, new people, old people, gone people. And for the first time in my life I think I really know what stress is. Even when I used to work 18 hours a day it wasn’t as stressful as the last year has been. If I had hair I think that it would have deserted me by now. But of course it deserted me ages ago.
On the plus side, I went and lost almost 4 stone in the middle of the year. Granted I then went and put a stone of it back on. But hell, only a couple of stone too heavy … and not “obese” any more. So that made me a happy bunny. Not happy enough, but happy enough to fit into a 34″ pair of jeans - and my black Boss suit from years gone by. So yeah, happy.
And on the minus side, I’m still single. And still have no hair. Though I do have an ace flat. Rough with the smooth eh…
Back at the start of 2009 I made the following guesses for what the year would bring…
- Sort out my tooth-ache.. Yeah, I did this. Not had a toothache since March.
- Cut out 90% of my Coke intake.. Yup, did this too really. Not had more than a can a week really.
- Lose 1/4 of my body weight.. Probably managed 1/5 … ish.
- Become financially viable.. I have a credit score of 900/1000 - which must be good? Still owe almost 20k…
- Blog… Yeah, not really.
So as you can see I managed most of them to a degree of success. 2010 is all about…
- Lose 1/5 of my body weight.. I want to get down to 12 stone… ish.
- Become financially viable.. I want to be down to 10k debt by year end…
- Blog… NO, not really… Though I do want to take a photo a week…
And those are my real resolutions.
