For some strange and inexplicable reason, I've been receiving a whole stack of new Twitter followers - 21 in the past 4 days. For the past few months, the number of new followers was relatively stagnant, not growing much at all.
It made me wonder if there's a tipping point, where all of a sudden you reach "critical mass", and you generate enough interest from your followers that you start getting new ones "just because"...
Time will tell, I suppose. I'd better stay interesting! (no pressure...)
makes an IBL student healthy, wealthy, and wise. Well, not so much of the wealthy. Maybe not quite so wise, either. Hmm.
As of this morning, I'm trying out coming in to work super-early (like 7am early) and leaving early too. This is not an original idea, but one I've borrowed from a couple other IBL students. The theory goes that allowing oneself to leave early makes managing personal affairs a lot easier, because the shops and amenities are still open after you've finished work. It also means that if, for some reason, you have to stay later anyway, then your flex-time goes up substantially. So, in theory at least, a win-win.
The only downside? Having to get up earlier. Let's hope it works.

If you're reading this, you've stumbled across my virtual notebook, where I'll be posting anything and everything that occurs to, pops up in, or otherwise manifests to my poor overloaded brain.
Allow me to introduce myself:
My name is Andrew Nicholson. I'm a 3rd-year student at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. I'm studying towards a Bachelor of Science (Professional Software Development). Yes, it's a strange name.
As part of the aforementioned degree, 2008 sees me in Adelaide, spending 12 months with the Defence Science & Technology Organisation - both a welcome break from the books, and a chance to apply what I've learned to real-world(?) applications and scenarios.
I have many and diverse interests, which will doubtless turn up on these pages as time passes. The top three would have to be music, coffee, and people.
I look forward to hearing from you, dear reader!
