One day worth of comment spam … time for drastic measures. Time for Akismet! Kiss your damn Viagra, Prozac, Perfume and other medications goodbye.

2005 is no more and it’s been a good year. When looking back nothing very special happened, everything went smooth, no big disappointments this year luckily in contrast too 2004 when i crashed 2 cars and my employer went bankrupt.

Last year 2005 in summary:

• I started this blog
• I finally started as a freelancer and named my business Skyrocket Concepts
• Still living happily together with my girlfriend
• Went on an absolutely fantastic vacation to Turkey, Aegean Dream Resort, Turgutreis
• Bought a car, Ford Fusion+

What 2006 is going to bring is a little unclear, there are several things i want to do for sure, others might happen or might not. Time will tell.

• Buy a Mac
• Get my Zend PHP certification
• Learn Ruby on Rails and expand my knowledge of Ajax and other technologies
• Build a CMS for my clients
• Go on vacation, back to Turkey in Aegean Dream Resort, Turgutreis
• (optional) Find a new job as webdesigner/developer
• (optional) Start looking for a house to buy
