While I haven’t been blogging much on here, mainly due to having limited internet access. I have been blogging fairly often at work on our internal blog. Yeah, I know… an internal work blog? Well it’s more as a resource blog for the staff. So I’m always writing things up on that, of which I’ve had some posts lately that have been epic and informative. Also that we push out the Blog out via RSS feeds into Staffs Outlook mailbox. Which in itself is really cool.
I’ve been thinking of doing something lately that I guess you could call Personal Development. I’m going to attempt to make some part of my life Microsoft.
So many people seem to bag Microsoft, and I still do these days. They aren’t that original with their ideas, and theres always some alternative to their products that someone else has made, and improved on. But I’m going to attempt this to see how and, if, it is possible. But I’ll be doing this on my laptop.
I’ve already gotten to the stage where I have installed Windows Vista Home Basic (after using Windows 7 beta for a while) back on my laptop, and Office 2007. I’ve got myself a Live.com.au account and I’m hoping this can all be linked together. Microsoft have a lot of products, but you don’t see their full potential until they are all knitted together. Next will come a home server to stream media to my Xbox 360 and then I will go from there.
What else is happening? Well I’m working my arse off, I’m pretty tired but theres a holiday break soon in which things will ease off. I’m waiting on my ADSL to be provisioned and then I’ll be a happy lad, applying for a personal loan to get some things done on the car, maybe a holiday, and a new computer. Trying to manage my money also, I’m hoping to be out of some debt soon!
