Well Guys.....Not long before this year is over and I have been thinking what I what to achieve in 2006.......so heres what is in my wee head !
Jeff you will be happy for this one !....new look for Addictivehobby- and I am starting to read the book you suggested "Designing with web Standards"- Jeffrey Zeldman..........but I am also looking into this word press.
More dedication into improving my artwork, I have missed this- and hopefully buying a house in the country.

Scotty, I can recommend the idea with a house in the country. We love living away from the city, and even though it's 45min to get to work, it's definately worth it. Let me know if you need a hand with moving.

Moving away from Greece...sounds exciting. It's always a challenge to move to a different country.

I haven't thought too much about my goals in a strict sense, but I suppose it might be something like this:

Improve my darkroom skills both traditional and PS.
Improve understanding of light.
Explore more creative techniques like making boxcamera's and using my 70-years old Kodak medium format.
Have more exhibitions and actually sell some work.
Get my wife pregnant.
Finish the extensive redecoration of our house - providing the funds are present

Good thread

Hmmmm....

- Continue doing as much art as possible, want to continue improving.
- Finish Darkfall (Have been working on that game for over 7 years now!)
- Hopefully make a decent income again.
- Leave this crazy, "out of order" country of Greece, and move to a part of europe where the girls doesn't have mustaches.
- Hopefully get included in more Ballistic books.
- Start making my own book with Tascha, just for fun.
- Get a nice home together with Tascha, with 1337 offices.
- Get a REAL computer, this HP laptop can be mistaken for a calulator in processor speed.
- Sign up for Mr. Universe, unless I figure out that beerbellies are not an advantage.

Haumovie - actually we already did leave our countries to get to Greece.
I am originally Swiss and Henning is Norwegian. He has been working in Athens for a few years now and I joined to live with him this April.

I really hope we can move back to our own countries together (either) and settle down. And I agree! living on the countryside is soooooooooooooooo beautiful. I could never live in a city for long.

- get a new system, running a p4 1.8 with 512mb ram, sucky slowness
- make enough to actually call it a wage (got 2 years before my missus has to look for another job, hoping i can give her a breather to do what she wants)
- bug the hell out of alderac, they offered me work on l5r, and haven't got back to me in weeks
- pick up more business from the death metal crowd (sounds weird i know, but i'm making good contacts, btw, i hate death metal haha)
- improve the hell out of my anatomy skills, my real weakpoint, stiffness
- pick up 'project lesa' again, i've let it slip for the last 9 month
- pay more attention to the wife, we barely see each other anymore (i take care of our son, then go upstairs when she gets in)
- make time for some personal work
- buy a warm jacket (school run is feckin freezing)
- put my suit on and start bothering curators (laing, baltic) about getting into their galleries
- stop smoking again, and maybe do a bit of excersise, i'm still svelte and sexy , but i can't run 50yards without collapsing in a heap
