It is that time of the year again, to set some goals for myself, keeping them quite small, but hopefully make my life better. These are not really for you readers, but for me to write down publicly. By writing these resolutions down like this, I have to be held accountable and seeing them written down like this, it motivate me to do them.
- Complain less and remain positive
I think it is a very British thing to do to complain and be negative, but I think if you live your life complaining all the time, your just looking for bad things in life. Speak positive and you will be happy, at least that is the idea.
- Don’t hold Grudge
Much like the first resolutions, it is a matter of remain positive and happy. Holding onto angry is not good for your soul.
- Get up earlier in the morning and have breakfast
- Go to Orange Wednesday every week
- Visit all of my friends at university
- Go on Holiday
- Start the process of learning to drive
- Don’t buy anymore games until I complete all the games I have
- Go swimming once a week
- Drink less caffeine
- Redesign all of the sites that I run.
What are your new years resolutions? What would add to this list?
One of the biggest problems in life is getting your first big brake, more so than ever in these troubled times. Spending months without a job, takes it out of you. I have many friends in the same place as me, so we decided to do something for ourselves. I teamed up with Jack Clarkson, an English Lit student and friend I meet at university. What followed was months of discussion, fighting and designing with the result being something that, exceeded both of our expectations.
Today I am very proud to announce our love child, and it is called Unbored. Unbored is a reviews, articles and videos site, written by geeks, for geeks. What is great about the site, it is by young people who write about what they love. The writers say what they really think of thinks and poke fun at things that need poking fun at. This is where you can find bright new writers find there voice. What is best about this project, is that we did it all ourselves, from the ground up. I love the site, I know you will to.

After the many,many months of searching, I am finally gainfully employed. It has been an extremely hard road not having a job, meaning I didn’t have any focus in life. The whole process gave me a new understanding of myself. I start work on Monday and I am working for a company called M W Kellogg (not the breakfast cereal people).

I thought I would take the time to say, well done to Barack Obama for gaining office. This day is one that I will tell my children of, when the world became a more talent place. Where belief that every man,woman and child was born equal, was today proved to the world. For me personally, I could not be more overjoyed by this day. That America, a country that is seen as the world’s example, that has for so long lived under the shadow of ignorance, intolerance and Xenophobia has now walked out into the light. That in these troubled times, a man of conviction ,intelligence and grace is put in charge of a country that can make a difference through-out the world it means that today is a great day. Barack’s election today sends a message to the world, that tolernace does exist, that people’s of different races can work together for a better future. No one knows what the future may bring but can we live together peacefully and build a better future, in the word’s of Barack Obama himself, “Yes we can“.
It is that time of the year again, to set some goals for myself, keeping them quite small, but hopefully make my life better.
- Past my third year of University
- Get a full time job.

- Find a place for important object, such as keys and wallet.

- Go on holiday
- Closely monitor the amount of time that I spend on computers
- Use my time more efficiently

- Make sure the people around me know how important they are to me!
For those reading this, what are your resolutions? What is missing from my list?
It is that time of the year again to look back on the year gone by and looking at the resolutions I set at the start of the year. It has been a long and hard year for me, so forgive me if I didn’t do as well as I hoped. (more…)
This is a big post for me and I have been thinking about what I was going to write on it. Firstly the title, this blog has already had 100 posts on it but after the revamp, I got rid of many posts. So to my count this is my 100th post in this new version. So firstly, Spacedmonkey is now is version 3.7. There are lots of style change, most importantly is the new wide style. This feature came about when using my Macbook to edit the site and thought that with it’s wide screen, the page looked like it wasted a lot of space. The new wide style fits the site to the width of your screen and makes it a lot easier to read. To use this feature, section the wide style in the right hand bar.
You may also notice that there is a new logo, pictured above that I have been playing around with. I like it alot but when have the time and the graphic design skill I will redesign it and place it somewhere within the site.
