He is always planning or doing something crazy and comes to work limping on most Monday mornings.

The start and finish photos of the cycling stage tell a story! Good work fella!

I’d always fancied doing a Triathlon and Broadhaven is right on my doorstep, so I entered. I felt good until the last 5k of the run when I think I hit the wall, my legs stopped working. It’s the toughest event I’ve ever done, but I’m so happy to have finished.

Some interesting stuff…

- Pass my driving test

- Discovered a cider called Cornish Rattler

- BBC Website

JamesP

- To have a fruit bowl on my desk (with some kind of real, non-mouldy fruit in it)

- Moved into a shared house, with some fairly random people

- BBC iPlayer takes my vote (more of a service, but it’s so handy and easy to use (as well as being daring enough to have a black design for a website)

Rob

- Keep on keeping on

- Robopoly – My Monopoly themed birthday booze-a-thon. It even managed to weasel itself onto Cookie’s blog

- www.failblog.org

Scott

- Cut down on the boozing and get back in the gym. If that doesn’t happen then I promise to drink more than before!

- Snow boarding in Zermatt Switzerland and making it alive to see another new year

- http://www.2advanced.com/ purely for the flash and design.

JamesB

- To quit smoking……a bit

- (Attempted) Cray-fishing expedition to Cape Point, S. Africa. As we ventured further and further out… with the waves becoming increasingly bumpy… contemplating the possible onset of nausea… and as the rain began to fall from accumulating black clouds above… the realisation set in that this was a very small boat in a very big ocean and home to the odd great white shark. I have a newfound respect for all fisherman!

Rod

- Work, life, balance

- Learnt how to render and pebble dash an external wall! Exciting I know.

- www.smashingmagazine.com – Some amazing articles.

JamesF

- A trio of: stop biting my nails / start keeping a journal / do more creative things in my spare time (programming, writing, photography). Currently doing rubbish at the non-nail-biting, so feel free to give me a slap if you see me nibbling away

- Graduate from university. It was a lot of hard work, but worth it in the end – felt very proud of myself and my friends

- I’m not sure I can pick just one…

- Instapaper (http://www.instapaper.com) rocks for its simplicity (it also has a native iPhone app) – I have a habit of opening loads of tabs in my browser and keeping them about for ages until I get time to read them (information overload!). Instapaper helps by letting you bookmark pages to read later – you can then access them at a later date via the minimal web interface or the iPhone app. Super-simple, but works brilliantly; it’s like your own personal newspaper

- BBC iPlayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer) was invaluable over Crimbo to catch up on Christmas specials if I missed them when they actually aired

- I recently took out an Audible (http://www.audible.co.uk) subscription, and have been listening to their audiobooks for a couple of months now on my walks to/from work. I’m loving them, and it gets me much more value from an hour of my day where I’d usually just be walking

- And finally, a trio of sites I use every single day: Google Mail, Google Reader, and Twitter

Andy

Tim

- I like to be realist in my resolutions and not set ones that I know I will break within a matter of weeks. In line with this I am happy to vow that in the year 2009 I will not die my hair purple.

- The cycle trip I did in southwest Italy was amazing. Amazing location, great company, great weather, great food and it was healthy!

- www.thewayoutwest.co.uk – it’s brilliant

JSJ

- Eat healthy stuff, take my vitamins and avoid any more flu bugs!

- Apart from watching my beloved Swansea City winning the league at Gillingham (a long, wet but very jubilant bus journey!), I have to say getting married at the young age of 37 and joining the crazies at S8080!

- Twitter – an absolute mine of knowledge / breaking news from friends and professional web developers / designers. Micro blogging at it’s very best!

Si

- Never done them, not doing them now… never will do them!

- Doing the London Triathlon (2.31… yeah baby!!) which involved wearing all in one lycra outfits in public! Also going sub 1.30 in the Cardiff half marathon

Chris

- At least 50 ‘Chris powered’ miles a week and take more photographs

- Flickr

Peter

- www.liveside.net (for the content)

Paul

- To stop making new years resolutions, as I never stick to them.

- Go on holiday to Majorca

- www.skysports.com

Jon

- Take my keys with me always, especially when the missus is in labour and we need to drive to the hospital. This will save me having to smash windows and panic my other kids

- The best thing I did in ‘08 was to buy the missus a new car to get her off my back, followed closely by 42 inches of LCD magic. The best thing I’ll be doing in ’09 is tuning the missus into an XBOX360 and keeping my eldest happy when she realises Fireman Sam isn’t actually at Pontins

- Best webs at the moment are smashing, Microsoft/web and Matt Berseth’s Blog. Matt’s got a great approach to programming, but his blog could do with a facelift
