Seeing in the New Year
This post is being prepared in advance. Brinkmanship was the theme of 2007: preparation is the watchword for 2008. Getting things done in advance might even mean getting them done properly.
- Studying well for the CCNA exam when it comes around in a few months’ time.
Thinking about food in advance. Preparation when it’s possible, and execution at the last moment. Like having pancake batter in the fridge overnight, you know?

Getting grown up things done — bank accounts, pensions, savings — before it is too late to be worthwhile.
- Most importantly: leaving computers to do the hard work of publishing blog posts so that I can be elsewhere, enjoying the company of my friends.
See you all in the new year!
