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!

After using WordPress for just over a month now i am really impressed with it, so much so that i have been desperate to try out the install version on my own server.

So after a friend gave me some web space [ Cheers Rob ;-) ] and i finally bought the URL and created my website i am ready to say goodbye to codinginthedarkness.wordpress.com and hello to http://codinginthedarkness.com/blog/

Hopefully this won’t impact on my Social Media experiment to much as i am seeing small improvements, this blog now comes forth on the ben scowen search.

So i will be copying over all of the posts in the next day or two, setting up my theme, tracking code etc but blah, so please hold on whilst i update and hopefully I’ll see you in my new web dwelling.

Goodbye WordPress.com :-)
