Tabula rasa (Latin: blank slate)

So it’s that time of the year when resolutions are made, plans are crafted and successes are plotted.

Judging by my lack of progress in blogging last year I think rather than picking one or more of the Top 10 New Years Resolutions I should resolve to dedicate more time to blogging.

In my defence I did notice in 2009 that the number of episodes of MacBites we released increased in direct proportion to the lack of blog posts though!

So with an interesting 2010 to look forward to I shall endeavour to blog my geeky thoughts much more than in 2009.

Why interesting you ask? Well it looks as if the as yet mythical Apple tablet might just see the light of day and I’m lusting after one (or two!!) of those new shiny 27 inch iMacs too. In business terms I have plenty of speaking engagements booked and more in the planning stage so be sure to keep an eye on my Presentations page for details of both upcoming events and recordings of previous presentations.

Since I spent the whole of New Years Day dismantling and reassembling hard drive enclosures I guess my love/hate relationship with my storage devices would be a good place to start. Be warned though as threatened on Twitter it could well become a mini series! Watch this space for the first installment of drives from hell, coming as soon as I’ve written it.

Let me take this opportunity to wish you and yours a happy and prosperous 2010.

So there it is the first post of the year, day 1 and I’m ahead of myself. As I say on MacBites … See you next time :-)

New Year’s Resolution?

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!!

I promised myself that I would be proactive in the blogging stakes this year, not to mention with MacBites, and now look … it’s February, in fact it’s half way through February, and not a single post from me.

I do have plenty of excuses, err, reasons ;-) Including an enforced hospital stay … please don’t think I went in there willing!

Anyway, back to the point of the post *yes originally it did have a point* I will be making a concerted effort to post some interesting stuff on a much more regular basis. So if you’ve got any requests or suggestions for either me or MacBites now is the time to let me know.

Look forward to hearing from you :-D
