My name is Benjamin. I come from the UK (although I was born in New Zealand) and I have been described as having a ginger personality. Whatever that means. I assume they're referring to my hair and my Ronald Weasley nature. Aside from that, I'm the only male blogger worth knowing.

You can thank Amber for that lovely introduction, but you deserve much more than just a small paragraph showing my nutty nature, therefore if you do wish to find out more, please visit the

Do Things Properly

Yep. That is my New Year’s resolution. Decided about half an hour ago, but that doesn’t matter - I am going to try to so something that I have never done before and do things properly and to the best I can.

I have always got half-way through something and found that I loose my focus or can not be bothered, therefore completing the job half-arsed and not something I am very proud of. Examples could be this layout, whilst I loved designing it, I could a bit half-arsed and cut corners; now I cannot stand looking at it. Another is CSSbake; the first release was alright, but after about a month I never updated and hated the layout - just left to die. In regards to my personal life, I would attend Meditation Groups every Monday and find that my mind is drifting; thinking about Tibia or what new layout I can make, rather than paying attention to the breathing exercises or the meditation.

Well not anymore! I am planning on doing things properly. Tonight at Meditation Group, I paid attention for the whole night with the thinking that if I am there to do it, I might as well do it to the best of my ability; and it paid off!
I am constantly trying to better CSSbake; at the moment I am still tweaking the layout until I am 100% happy with it, and then I will continue to update it. Hopefully CSSbake will grow to be a big resource for people, and I am trying to hit 50 unique visitors a day - which at the moment we are reaching. :)
Finally, I am trying to keep Solipsus as active as possible - I was going to try and blog every day, but thought that was a bit OTT. I think every two days is enough, don’t you? Along with this new outlook on blogging, I am working on a new theme. I was rushing last night to get it done, just so I could say it’s done… but I am putting it off now and not releasing it until I am 100% happy with it. :3

So overall, not necessarily a New Year’s Resolution, but more a new aim for life and not to think I am not good enough to do something, because I am.
