As 2011 draws to a close, thought it fitting to write a short piece recapping on a few major points and of course looking forward to what 2012 may bring. A lot of people I have talked to seem to think that 2011 was a bad year for them, while I cannot offer any thoughts on how they felt for 2011, I look at 2011 as a time for chance. So what happened in 2011 and how do I see the next year progressing?
The dawn of the Mac
It was in 2011 that I put my hand in my pocket and bought a iMac, yet again refurbished and I agree a Lot of money for a machine. If I could go back in time, would I have bought it or would I have chosen something else? Not a clear answer here, I could have bought a top of the range 3,4Ghz Intel i7 but another PC a bit faster than the PC I already have?
The advent of training
It was march this year that I finally stopped trying to train in my garage and joined a proper gym. This was the best step ever made and I saw gains much quicker and trained properly. I was hoping to also do some sort of martial art but nothing major happening in my area it seems.
The end of google adsense
Google adsense started very slowly and only brought in a small amount but at least it was something and in fact it helped pay for half of my iMac. Greed of course got the better of us and we tried to work the system but the system is not stupid and soon it logged the same IP every single day and then it killed the account. I Still say that it is google loosing out (though they are so large, they would not care) as there is now no adverts anywhere on my site with no way ever to get the adsense back.
Google Plus
Who can forget that Google rolled out G+ and soon many people were video chatting to each other. Old Friends, new friends, friends I had forgotten about all come back t the front. It was sort of short lived in a sense though and as quick as it had started, it was over and no longer people had a hangout.
Streaming
At the tail end of the year, I noticed there was less and less Tech Streams, is the ride over and people have grown bored with either making them or watching them? We shall see what 2012 brings.
This Blog
I do try and write as much as I can and of course keep it interesting but with lack of funding from Google, it’s hard along with trying to think of half decent things to write. People clicking the link for siteground and signing up for one years hosting for $10 bags me a free month and keeps the site going well into 2012.
