2007 was the year I...

  • At age 35, realized I still don't understand a damn thing about women;
  • Replaced the dead HDD in my PB G4, then sold it in anticipation of getting an iMac;
  • Biding my time at my company, hoping my plans of becoming basically debt-free in '08 don't go by the boards;
  • Helped a friend switch to Linux;
  • Became a MacRumors 6502 (yay!);
  • Got a really good wireless router (Buffalo WHR-HP-G54);
  • Got a writing partner for my BSG:TOS / '79 BR crossover multi-volume writing project;
  • Got a TARDIS 4 port USB hub;
  • Realized just to what extent my company is screwed up, and that it's just a matter of time before they either get themselves bought up, or run themselves into the ground;
  • Had my company's CEO get quit-fired, and got a new CEO (Bob Nardelli quit, replaced by Frank Blake).

Thats sad:(

Hmmm.... 2007 was the year I:
- Turned 30 :(
- Saw the end of my first long-term relationship
- Decided to go back to school after eight years of work. I'll be attending the University of Edinburgh next fall, yay! :D
- Saw lots of younger friends and relatives got married, with the result that my friends and family keep asking me when I'm going to make the leap.
- Had a reasonably good year at work.
- My 12" Powerbook suddenly started suffering numerous problems after four years of flawless operation (worst being that the wi-fi stopped working), and made me realize I have to get a new notebook after MWSF 2008.
- Finally became a Macrumors "regular" after four long years.

All in all, quite an average and uneventful year (with the exception of point 2, which I still find myself thinking about often)...

Happy new year to all Macrumors members and lurkers. :D
