Get On, Clip In, Fall Off

The Mike Review Of The Year - 2006

Another year, a completely shameful lack of updates here. I guess this is probably a hint as to how hectic this year has been for me - I simply haven't had time to stop and think until, well, the end of the year. It's been a real whirlwind of a year. Since January I've stopped being self-employed (I wasn't very good at it, frankly), started at Google, spent quite a lot of time away from home, got married, gone on honeymoon, and rounded things off by buying a house. That's the short version. I've also visited Greece, been to other peoples' weddings in Wisconsin and Seattle, been rubbish at running but am having lots of fun cycling, and well, the list goes on.

Unfortunately, this insane busyness, combined with the desire when I actually have spare time to just spend it sleeping and attempting to do as little as possible, means that I'm a little tubbier than I was a year ago, something which I'll have to start working hard to remedy pretty soon. If I haven't got myself back into at least a little bit of shape and run at least one competitive (for me) 10k by the end of March, kick me.

As a result of this I haven't seen nearly as much of many people as I'd wanted to. This blog's also suffered, mostly because I've had lots of interesting things which I've wanted to write about but never got around to that either - by the time you finally get to sit down in front of a blank screen whatever inspiration had struck had gone. This is, as you can guess, somewhat frustrating, so I've decided that I'm going to take uffish.net in a new, er, direction as an experiment to see what happens. Details will follow in my next post.

Happy 2007!
