Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a big thank you to all!
For the past day or so, i’ve been thinking about the year that has now gone by.
Decided I should send out a few emails to specific people, as well as leave something here on my blog.
Sort of like a review of the year that has just gone by. And doing a bit of thinking about what I want to achieve in the year ahead (yes, it’s a bit early… but hey, better to start now than never, right?)
Actually, only sent 3 thus far, but will keep going with it.
Thus far, 2 made it successfully, and one bounced.
I’m still writing and sending out emails as I write this blog.
I hope those who I forget to send them off to, actually read my blog
I’m heading off to Sydney tommorow morning, so will be away from my blog and all things related to the online world until probably January 2nd.
I know, January 1 is the day most people reflect on the year that has passed, and plan for the year ahead and so on. But since I won’t be anywhere near the internet between now and then, I thought i’d do this slightly early’ish!
To all those who write blogs that I read, thanks for blogging, it’s kept me reading
Many individuals, including bloggers who’ve i’ve never met, have made some form of influence on me (or, well that’s what I think anyway) over the past year. Amazing, isn’t it? Blogs as a learning tool!
Through technical blogs such as the ones via weblogs.asp.net/blogs.msdn.com I’ve managed to learn a lot more than I would otherwise have.
Here is an amazing stat, this blog has gotten in excess of 9,500 visitors since the start June 2004.
That’s probably a lot more than for my previous blogs over a 2 year period.
Below is my blog stats from the day this blog started, until today.

Anyway, I should wrap this post up now, and start doing some serious packing.
Have a great holiday everyone, and see you back sometime early January!
Cheers!
