Unlikely
Apparently Simon is already pining for home and is worried that I'm yet to mention his new blog A Gamer's Odyssey. I have these things to say: You haven't taken any kind of gaming system with you. I challenge your gaming credentials. A single post on an alleged game for the iPhone does not a gaming blog make. You should be referring to yourself as Oddity if you're on an Odyssey. You haven't even left Australia yet. Get a move on. ...
Apparently this evening SBS will be broadcasting Olympic archery in the slot that should be occupied by Top Gear. This is wrong on so many levels. Not least of which is use of medieval weapons being considered an Olympic sport. If you really want to get me to watch, combine medieval weapons and cars. Bring back jousting. With cars. Until then can we please stop pretending that any of the Olympic events are interesting to any but the terminally dull?

So head over to his blog and subscribe for "all SOA, all the time" goodness.Yes, I am aware that everyone who reads this blog already reads Bill's.
I want to be a presenter on Top Gear - Australia. Unfortunately I don't know anything about cars. Damn them and their requirements of competence.
Maybe I could convince them that they need someone to offset the other presenters. Someone who's willing to lose all the races and screw up all the challenges. Someone who'll sign any kind of waiver their legal department produces.
No?
Dammit.
Making resolutions is apparently very popular at new years. Most people seem to forget them almost immediately. I plan to avoid this by blogging about it. That way I'll need to alter my site database later to match what I actually managed to acheive.
Learn 3 new programming languages. I'm looking for things outside the C#/Java mold. I'm considering:
Erlang
Ruby
LISP
Walk to and from work at least 80% of the time.
Blog on average once a day. These resolutions are mostly geeky which is OK because so am I.
