Tentacles in Every Pie

A stumbling start to my blogging activities, as its now 3 weeks since my last post. But when you set yourself a lot of goals, its hard work keeping up!

As I mentioned last time, I have 50 things to achieve this year, ranging from the highly vague (#17 - Get Fit) to the highly specific (#12 - Visit Jorvik Viking Festival). The list itself is grouped into 5 main categories, but in no particular order

A big old list eh! Now because I find that most things in life are linked, a general 'inter-connectedness of everything' as it were, I've decided to go against conventional wisdom and blog All The Things! rather than just one. This might be the Worst Idea Ever, but only time will tell. 


So you're now caught up on what I'm planning to do, next up is What I Already Did!

1st ink

As 2013 beckoned, it was time for New Years resolutions...

But being a games designer, I decided to make 'achievements' instead, listing 50 goals to attain throughout the year. Also being highly organised, I then broke down these goals into steps, and broke down the year into months, and lined up my goals. Then I created a spreadsheet for every day of the year, and started inserting my tasks (colour co-ordinated too of course).

On my list for month 1 (aka January) amongst many others sat 'start blogging', and as you might be able to tell from the date on this inaugural post, I'm slightly behind... but what a busy month!

Rather than accepting the fact that I'm getting to it a little later, I'll be making a plethora of posts in order to catch up! My intention is to update my blog twice a week, with additional posts if anything extraordinary comes up. That means I owe you all 13 posts already, so without further adieu...

WELCOME TO OMEGASQUID!
