Our first day in the New Year was a quiet one. We didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go out, other than having our traditional New Year Polar Bear Club meeting (in the pool). For more details see Dawnell’s blog entry<\/a>.<\/p>\n Other than that, I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do much: played some stupid <\/em><\/strong>Facebook game<\/a> (now that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<\/em><\/strong> something I should have made a New Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s resolution about!), worked a bit on my picture collection, ignored my other New Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s resolutions (except for that math thing!) and ordered us a Blue-ray player with Netflix access capability and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Instant Tray Opening\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/a> at Amazon I think I will replace our wireless LAN setup with a cat6 wired one, which involves getting up in the attic and making some tricky wall drops.<\/p>\n Yesterday my previous boss (CEO at HF Engineering) asked if I would come along on a trip to a photo store<\/a> in Orlando (he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a serious amateur photographer and considering making his hobby his profession). He and I both now do contract work for our previous customer. He told me he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s looking for some cheap office space. I told him that in principle I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind sharing an office space from where we could do our contract work. I like the idea, but it probably means I would have to concentrate on getting more <\/em><\/strong>contract work. Plus there is the cost factor. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see.<\/p>\n
