When I first setup the blog two years ago, I was writing daily. I might miss one or two days, but on the whole it was a pretty thorough catalogue of life. In the past year I slipped away from the daily log, and it became every two days, and now alas, I've not written anything for a week.

Am I losing interest in keeping a personal blog? Well, maybe, but I have this feeling that my interest will renew itself soon enough. Just while I've been living and working from home it is so nice to get away from the desk sometimes, instead of going back for fifteen minutes at the end of the day (which invariably ends up as being longer).

I've got a few plans for how this all might go in the future, but nothing is set in stone. Whatever happens, I don't see me getting rid of it.

I've been shuffling jobs this week. Mockney, a friend of mine from uni who works for a design agency in Kent got in touch and I'm doing some freelancing for them as well as my usual work. My own projects are ticking over, and I hoping to get at least some prototypes launched by New Year.

Also, travelling is high on my list of things to get sorted. Darwus informs me he now wants to go to South America, meaning planning has gained another facet of complexity. I really need to do some work on this as Sammi is disappearing in a month or so and we still haven't got anything booked.

I managed to catch up with a few people over the phone yesterday. Swan filled me in on his teaching, as did Sean, and with DDS I discussed Alex Tew's new venture, Pixellotto.

DDS and I often ruminate on enterprise, and after reading a BBC News article, we both came to the conclusion that some people are really bitter and twisted about young people doing well for themselves. My opinion? I think the boy done good, although some of the comments show a real loathing for a carpe diam attitude. I think if you want to enjoy success in the current climate, seizing the day is exactly what you have to do. One commenter writes,

The embodiment of UK business. A short attention span, no plans for the future, couldn't be bothered with learning new skills so he comes up with something worthless and pointless to make a short term financial gain. He should be chairman of the CBI.

A cynical view I feel? The guy has just launched his second idea and he's got the best track record for this type of thing. He's positioned so uniquely that anything he does will attract interest and I think he has a lot more staying power than this guy gives him credit for. I'm not saying his whole business can be built on successive short term gains, planning is critical, but give the guy some credit for coming up with a financing technique that is a million times better than being extorted by a venture capitalist.

Tomorrow is the Multipack Christmas meal. I'm hungry already.
