I tried two Twitter accounts and am now following one

A little while ago I felt a bit concerned about the folk who follow me on twitter might be two separate but equally important groups. The Tech Professionals who I know via the Microsoft IT Pro part of my life and the others who I know because I love … Television, T-Shirts, Geeks, People and Random stuff which includes other tech stuff too.

I created a second Twitter account and tried to take the IT Pro Geeks there and lots stayed with @DavidLMackie a few left but lots didn’t and more even began following so ….

I don’t want to tweet on two accounts but @Mackieisageek will still get updates from http://mackie.is-a-geek.net/ for those who can’t work RSS :) Oh and occasionally I might cross post to both

Sorry if this turns out to be less awesome for you.

"If you want to do something big in your life, you must remember that shyness is only the mind, If you think shy, you act shy. If you think confident you act confident. Therefore never let shyness conquer your mind." - Arfa Karim Randhawa

Thoughts for a New Year

I am not sure that a date in a calendar is a reason for new promises to break to ourselves or endeavouring to do better in all aspects of our lives but it is a line we jump over with glee.

Canberra City New Years Eve Fireworks 2011

Tonight my family went to Canberra City for Dinner and the early fireworks display on the way home we got slushies from 7 Eleven.

Catie danced while we watched and listened to the Music – Ian Moss Played a set before we left.

So in all we had a nice time

This year has been challenging and instructive, I have “met” lots of new people and some are really quite wonderful, if you don’t know who you are then that is one thing I need to do better next year. Thanks for the friendship and also allowing us to share in your lives I am personally better for knowing every one of you.
