Erm no, rented property.

I haven't booked the A+ exam yet, just going to take my time.

 

I thought you said in one of your posts your were already in rented accomadation?

 

Sweet! I think prefer the Reverie Lotus Exige model The only problem is being 6 foot 3 it's a real bugger to get in and out of the car.

How many versions are there of the lotus?

 

I have just found a link for the various models:-

Elises uk

Sparky - do you mean the s2?

My mates has Standard Elise S2 the odd thing was he orginally was going to buy the VX220 but decided in the end to go for the lotus? But besides the name and shape aren't they the same car (Elise s2)

Sparky,

Setting up a ltd company in non IT field.

I'm not going to make IT the be all and end all of my life

 

I just watched something on TV the other day about a company in the US that leases a race track a few days a month and gives people the opportunity to drive a Mercedes, an Aston Martin, a Lamborgini, a Ferrari, and a Porsche all in the same day.

They put the customers through a 4 hour training process and then have them follow a professional driver around the race track for a few laps. The pro will keep on driving faster every lap right up to limits of each car if the amateur can keep up. Otherwise he drives at the same speed as the amateur so they will be able to find the right lines around the track.

At the end of the show they interviewed a bunch of the people who have bought time in the cars and each of them said it was something they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

It sounds like a pretty cool deal. It was never brought up how much it costs so it must be one of those things that is spendy enough that if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

 

Wizard, setting up a Ltd company? Thats just so random in your situation mate, what area are you looking to go into?

 

Well I said earlier in this post I would wait until Dec...so here goes:

I dont really have any goals set for 2008...I think its a case of just see what happens and take each day as it comes...I have my 3 computers at present...just a server and a test machine to go along with 2 more 22" Samsung monitors for my main machine...so this will happen over the next few months...

I dont have debts to pay so thats a huge weight off my mind...

Certs wise...well I do have the A+, I was thinking of doing the Network+ but this has been scrapped and I think I will be saving up to do the CCNA or CCNE...dont ask me when that will be but I know it wont be next year...so still a long way off...but with the amount of experience I have so far...I dont think I have much to worry about especially since the job I am in right now is really good both financially and work wise.

Altho the only thing I will be looking forward to is buying my parts for my Spider platform PC from AMD and ATI...thats more towards the end of the year...and I have my eyes set on the AMD 790FX motherboard chipset, ATI 3870 graphics card (4 of these to make up CrossfireX ) and the monster AMD Phenom quad-cores (the 9900 is the daddy and is not released until 2008 anyway )

So there u have it...no major goals...just going to get bits and pieces here and there but I will be saving up to go on holiday (first one in 7yrs!!) with my 2 sisters (oh what joy lol)

 

IT

Finish MCSA, more networking jobs - which I am beginning to LOVE!!


Personal

Continue to eat healthy, up fitness levels with more running training / marathons etc, but try not to loose weight from it.

Beat up the next bouncer who asks me for ID!!!

Have friends, family over more often, and enjoy my new home (which, fingers crossed nothing goes wrong in our chain, we should hopefully have in Feb!!)

 

70-224: My last exam in my MCSE 2k
70-292 & 70-296: Upgrade to MCSE2k3

I know I've left it all to the last minute as the exams cease in March, so I've got to pull my finger out and get my quals sorted!

I also want to look into padding out my CV with some other qualifications, possibly a CCNA; although my job doesn't involve a great deal of comms management I think it would be well worth having it on the CV for future reference.

I am also thinking about doing an IT related degree - I don't want to find myself in a position where I'm "pipped at the post" because i don't have one!

Personal

Lose some weight - I'm weighing in at 16 stone + at the mo and I've got no excuses for it other than comfortable living :P
Move out of London and into the open space - although that might have to wait a little while longer
Maybe have a kid too....if we can pay off some wedding debt :P

 

the VX220 Turbo aint that bad, when I get enough money and get a job in order I ether want another 3 series beemer or the new 123 deisel coupe.

 

My goal is to still be alive by 2009!

 

Not yet I don't but once I do, that is not the only thing I'll be doing at the same time.

I'm not just going to rely on a single income stream coming in anymore.
