The Real 2010 ToDo List!

Posted in Life, Web on April 28th, 2010 by BenScowen

It’s easy to get complacent in life, you make a minor achievement and rather than push on with other goals that you want to accomplish you get happy with where you are and become lazy about chasing those goals.

After some general searching around the web at other sites, people, blogs i decided that i never really achieved what i had set out to do with my own site and blog, which was to create a site that would give me a personal area on the web to own, play with and enjoy using and hopefully people would enjoy reading, viewing or whatever.

All my big plans to learn this, create that sort of hit the back burner, so…. Here is my 2010 ToDo list.
I have until the 23:59 – 31st of December 2010 to complete the following below.

  1. Redesign site
  2. Redesign Blog – My own template
  3. Learn basic PHP
  4. Learn objective C and create an iPhone app
  5. Add 2-3 sites to my portfolio

That’s it, if i can complete all of those tasks this year I will be very happy.

This decade will be the decade that i step up and become a complete finisher rather than a ideas man / team worker, kudos if you know where knows terms come from.

Lets hope I don’t make an idiot out of my self by Jan 1st 2011!

A Simple Format Away From USB 360 Storage

A Simple Format Away From USB 360 Storage

Sorry if this seems rushed my laptop battery is flashing, although luckily not 3 flashing red rings!

Anyway after a very short burst on Resident Evil 5 last night i was greeted with a system update, which actually took some time to install, not noticing directly what it did I carried on blasting some zombies, Guado,  or is it majini-something.

After a quick virtual trip to Major Nelson I was greeted with delight to see that you can now use a USB stick to store Xbox 360 data, great i though as I’m still stuck with a lowly 20GB drive, 13 GB after formatting of course.

However my exciting has sort of been stunted after discovering you are limited to just 16GB, as I like to install games to my hard drive this is quite disappointing as the average game sits at 6.1 GB.

I’ll leave you to ponder that whist i recharge the battery, meanwhile hit up MajorNelson.com for more info and comments.
