  • Moved into my new house in sunny Earlsdon.
  • Completed lots of work on the house – still much more to do though!
  • I went snowboarding twice, once to Chatel with the excellent Alpine Air, and once to Les Deux Alpes (not soo good!).
  • Successfully completed my departure from bit10 and creation of Warwicknet.
  • I got banned from Pizza Express due to this blog! (However the amazing Millsys in Earlsdon more than compensates).
  • I travelled to Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, Netherlands and Hong Kong doing the work I love i.e. building and deploying networking solutions for people.
  • I started learning to fly, passed and got my PPL(A) just before Christmas, thanks to the wonderful people at Almat, in that time I have clocked up 48 hours in the air, of which 15 have been solo.

And much much more…

Bring on 2009!
