• Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days

This ones a tough one. I am not sure I have done anything extraordinary, in the past few days that I’d say I’m proud of.

Well, I’ve had Live Writer open all day and come back to this a few times.. What can I say. This one’s a Fail. I honestly can’t think of anything.

I guess I’m proud of the fact I’ve managed to keep this up daily, but this entry is not that great. meh..

Hopefully future ones will be more on to it.

• Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why

Hmmm, short term goals for this month. Don’t know if I have any specific goals for this month. Unless you count completing the 30 days of me challenge.

Ok, I think I just corrected myself. I’m working on a couple of projects which I’m going to be launching next month that I aim to get completed. One is going to be a re-launch of something I already have established and the other is something new. You’ll have to watch this space, in order to find out when I launch things.

• Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

My partner Sarah, is the person who has the biggest impact on me.

• Day 06- Favourite super hero and why

I don’t really have a favourite super hero, never got into the whole super hero thing too much. Although, having said that. When I was younger I always wanted to grow up and be like Wonder Women. So I guess that would count wouldn’t it.

Why? Well, I always thought she was pretty and she could do anything. Looking back, that was probably pretty cheesy

• Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to

Well, a picture of somewhere I’ve been. Well, I’ve been Back to the Future. Actually Universal Studios

One of the many places we visited in the United States, way back in 1990.

• Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have

You mean I have to only pick one habit I wish I didn’t have? I have a couple of habits I wish I didn’t have.

The major one is smoking. Yeah, I know “Not our future” and I do have plan of quitting (again). I’ve given up a couple of time but somehow each time has ended in disaster and me smoking again.

In fact, thinking about it. I might run a blog series of my progress once my final quite date arrives.

• Day 03- A picture of you and your friends

Me in photos is a rare thing, Usually because I’m taking them, but mostly due to avoiding being on the wrong side of them. Don’t really consider myself that photogenic.

• Day 02- The meaning behind your Blog name

hmm, not sure there is a meaning behind my blog name as such. No real creativity went into the name of it. It’s just my blog. Although there is a bit of background to go with my tag line.

My Insignificant Little Webspace came about for the reason, that in the greater scheme of things Internet related. My blog is really just an insignificant spec of microscopic dust when you think about how little space my site has online with all the content around the net today.

As with a lot of blogs around, I thought yeah this is cool, I’ll blog every few days but that never really eventuated and it’s pretty sporadic on the entries. Who knows, over the duration of doing this 30 days of me challenge I might just get into the habit of blogging more often.

My blog has been through a couple of domains since landing where it is now, and somewhere along the line I did loose the original posts I had prior to 2008. Initially it was on e107 CMS before I stumbled across WordPress.org.

• Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

A recent photo of me? hmm well, there tend not to be too many of me. 

15 Interesting facts about me. heck this one is going to take some thinking. Don’t know how interesting you’ll find them, but here goes.

Ok, I stumbled across this challenge in passing on twitter about a month or so ago. When I say ‘in passing’ I mean, the tweet was more or less initially overlooked.

While having a general nosey around twitter and actually taking notice I figured, why not jump on the bandwagon albeit probably too late
