I'm frustrated!

I have a bunch of things (hobbies I suppose) that interest me but I never seem to be able to progress with any of them. I've finally decided that enough is enough and I have to organise myself, otherwise I will wake up in 10 years time and I will have done of them! This seems to be a fairly common danger when living in large cities like London, where you commute for 2-3 hours a day, work for for 9-10 hours and just collapse for the 2-3 waking hours you have at home each evening. Not terribly healthy!

My principle interests are:

1) Flying: I've done some gliding in the past but would like to start learning powered flight in a microlight.
2) Photography: I have a couple of cameras, a Canon EOS and a Panasonic digital and I want to improve.
3) Guitar: Acoustic. I've not played seriously for a few years, but would love to pick it back up again - maybe with some lessons.
4) Model heli's: Now, I bought myself one of these babies a few years back, built it from kit and have never flown it (it's a common story!). I recently met someone who can teach me to fly it.

I figure that I can't do all of these justice at the same time, so I have to decide which I'm going to focus on for the next little while. I'll be doing some thinking on this over the next couple of weeks I guess...

I had a hard disc failure a few weeks back. No effective backups of course, which meant I basically lost everything. The disc was only 18 months old too - ah well. You live and learn. I now have a 1/3 terrabyte of space over 2 DiamondMax 10 discs, some imaging softare and a backup schedule! I even bought myself a Sony dual layer DVD burner to store the disc images on.

I really like the DVD burner. They seem to be pretty much there with creating a drive that means you can stop worrying about the various +/- formats. This thing handles them all - and it's fast!
