2011
Jan - Feb - Mar - Apr - May - Jun - July...
July has still been a month dominated by moving-related matters, but I have been able to make some progress, albeit not to the point of actually completing any Tasks this month. So, let's see what's been happening...
Task 17 - See more of Jan Given that my nephew is now next door, I can't hardly fail on this. We have semi-regular meetings over the garden wall, and in-depth discussions on things such as nettles and dinosaurs.
Task 59 - Learn to upgrade PCs I "broke my duck" on this one by finally taking the plunge, and extracting a hard drive from my very first PC, for installation in a USB enclosure, making it into an admittedly small external drive. It worked - after a certain amount of frustration - and my confidence with hardware has just had a considerable boost!
I can take bits out without a panic - but can I put parts in? I'm looking to get a new PC as a full-scale upgrade in the very near future, but it'd be worth seeing if I can take my current machine a step or two closer to being more up-to-date.
Task 83 - Get my chair fixed! The chair in question is history. It was stripped of any useful parts, and sent to the dump. I will now be looking for a new, quality office chair, as I'm not entirely sure I'm going to inherit the second of the pair any time soon...
Task 97 - Build a diddley bow I have the "two by four", and several of the non-electrical pieces, and in a week or two, I'll go and see if I can get the necessary electrics at the nearest music shop (which happens to be out of town).
Task 98 - See each of the "Avengers" cycle of movies on opening day! (Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011), Captain America - The First Avenger (2011), Avengers (2012)) I saw Captain America - The First Avenger on Friday - the UK opening day - and that means I only have Avengers to see when that opens, and this task is COMPLETE!
And (almost) finally...
Could I perhaps stretch it a little and say that Task 6 - Save lie-ins for weekends is complete? For about half the duration of my Mission, I have been working, and so I simply don't have the choice about lie-ins any more. Technically, I should only call this complete on the final day, but I rather doubt I'll be out of work any time before then. Opinions would be appreciated on the matter.
And finally finally... I WILL be completing Tasks in August! I PROMISE.

Date: 4 August 2011 04:36 (UTC)Go you on the PC upgrading! I will do it with supervision, someone who knows more than I do to watch and be sure I'm doing it right... I'm very unconfident.
