Accountability as a Kick in the Pants

I can’t believe how long it has been since I posted… I have been discovering the delights of achieving something with my laptop rather than wiling away the hours reading not only my favourite blogs (see wiblinks) but the blog explosion ones as well.

Today I have achieved rather a lot in that I have spent the whole day and most of the evening tweaking html with a view to finally taking up the offer of free webhosting with my isp. I mentioned a singular girl website in these hallowed pages a month or two back and I am finally getting around to making it happen.

And so, now I allude to the title of this post.

The spur for getting on with the site is that I am meeting Coldie on Monday evening to show her what I have done. She and I are both chick-geeks and have been spending a lot of time talking about all the software we want, all the gear we could use for the projects we have in mind. After a long chat the other day I set us a challenge…

As I have Monday off I suggested that we use the long weekend to get on with the projects we keep talking about and never action and that we meet up in the evening and show off…

So, you understand why I had to get on with it.

AND … when you couple this with a meeting my shutterbug sisters and I convened to strategize about maximising the profit potential of our photos you realise that getting stuff done totally benefits from some outside impetus. Now that I have to pay full fare for a flight home at Christmas every profit option needs to be exhausted and the girls had some great ideas.

So, here it is… 2am… and I feel great for having something to show for my weekend other than a tidy bedroom and clean car!

(Actually… I still don’t have those to show … Ah well… tidy bedrooms are perhaps overrated… or maybe I just need to be accountable to someone for that too… )
