Well done mate, it's great to see you growing and getting involved in these little events. I've always enjoyed HPUD, because of the kind of community camaraderie of it all. I also started taking the opportunity to do a bit of a blog about the previous month, and since doing that I've had a bit of fun capturing some things that I may otherwise forget.
Treating it like a bit of a blog/ the community spirit of everyone getting involved is what I like about it. It's also good to have a bit of a think about what the month will bring, and potentially set some mini goals for it.
