    It's getting there. But don't expect to be able to just sign up and instantly be a mentor. And just because people were mentors under the old programme definitely does not mean they're instantly in either.

    Sweet as mate.. Just checking in because I hadn't seen anything for a while.

    I'm not so much thinking of me being a mentor (although I'm sure I'd be ok for newbies) but I want my own mentor.

    I'm doing ok but I have this problem where I expect too much too quickly.

    Left to my own devices I'm tempted to forget that there are steps between learner and expert. Would be good to have someone show me some steps along the way rather than pushing myself too hard.

    Excepting of course the bits where the survival instinct causes survival reactions (if you subscribe to the Keith Code way of thinking).
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Just to let everyone know that the 1st draft of the new mentor programme was presented and I have asked the guys to resubmit it after addressing a concern I had over it.

    So it's coming along. But when it'll be ready to go nobody is sure.
