Tim's thoughts, words, findings, musings, and rants

It’s Blog Action Day tomorrow and while that’s about all bloggers around the world posting on a topic they want to generate action on, I figured it’s a good excuse as any for me to create some action on my blog again! Last post January 09? Hopefully I don’t leave it for that long again!
There [...]

Over these last couple of weeks on holiday in Thailand to see my family, I’ve naturally had a lot more spare time than I do back at home in normal life (it has felt great… and I want to change the way I manage my life in order to give myself more spare time when [...]

What better way is there to break a long silence (one which I feel I need to break by updating what I’ve been up to) than to recap the events of the year… thanks to these questions I nicked off Nathanael’s blog.
1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
Prayed much more [...]

That’s the box I had to tick when logging in to my blog tonight. Yes, that’s right. I haven’t been here for so long that even my blog had forgotten who I was, requiring me to login.
Even though I tend to go missing here sometimes, I know a break of just over four months probably [...]

It’s always nice to know you’ve made a difference – it gives you the confidence you need to go on making further differences (if you can indeed pluralise that word), and the knowledge that you’re doing something right. It gives you the hope that since you’re actually doing something well, you can go on, learn [...]

Well what a, uh, three and a half months! I’m a bit of a workaholic so I need to be rather careful. When there’s enough work to literally keep me busy 72 hours a day, prioritising (something I’m not very good at) is important, to get that down to 8 hours. It usually ends up [...]

We just went out and saw a home observatory here in Canberra – a fascinating contraption on the front lawn of a friend of a friend. It’s taken him years to build and he’s still got further to go, but from hearing him talk, he is incredibly dedicated. I don’t think I could spend years [...]

Yes, I’ve been busy. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out!
Where to start? Work’s been going great. I’ve been working long hours – longer than I probably should be – so I should probably scale that back a bit. But the good thing is that I enjoy it – I wouldn’t be [...]

I opened the mail the other day and found a flyer telling me about a one day photography course being run by the Canberra School of Photography. So I decided to call up. I found that there was also an 8 week – one evening a week – course starting today, so I thought why [...]

Suddenly moving to the helm of a radio station – especially at this time of year when a plan is needed for the year ahead, when a new board has recently been appointed that has only really had one meeting so far, and when you really haven’t got any experience managing a radio station yet [...]
