It's New Years Eve, so I guess that means I have to do one of these 'looking back' posts. 2002 was an interesting year: it was the year that I:
- legally became an adult (in the UK at least)
- moved away from home
- chose, and later attended a university
- got a computer of my very own
- did poorly in my A-level exams
- stopped using Internet Explorer
- was rejected for a bank account, then got one from another bank
- started a weblog, then restarted it again
- got a webcam
- visited France and Belgium, over 3 separate trips abroad
- gained a social life
- watched my first DVD
- first ventured into Linux
- made new friends, and lost some others
- started to learn Java
- witnessed another of my cousins getting married
- became an editall at the ODP, and met some of the editors in person
As for looking ahead - I'm unsure as to whether I'll be going out tonight, to celebrate the new year, or if I'll be staying in with my parents. I have exams in mid-January, and again in June, then a long summer when I'll probably find myself a job. Then in the autumn, my grandparents celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. But other than that, I have no idea what 2003 will bring.
Happy New Year, Neil! You = l337.
And Linux isn’t something to be ventured into, more of something to be thrown into. Yay for newbie Linux users!
Thanks, you too :).
I’m getting to grips with Linux, slowly. I will probably replace Mandrake with RedHat 8.0 since it seems to be quite a bit better.
Isn’t Redhat 9 out now?
Nope - it’s RedHat 8 and Mandrake 9.
