At the beginning of the year, I set myself six tasks to achieve this year. Here they are with the actual results which followed.
Get more involved on the web - I use it every day and yet don’t seem to get that much into it. More digging, flickring, youtubing, myspacing, beboing, blogging, commenting and subscribing. When someone comments, I should comment back. Now, to find some more blogs I’m into.
Well, I did spend some more time listening to the web. I haven’t really contributed much apart from blog posts. My last podcast was June 2006, over a year and a half ago. Perhaps as not much as I may have wanted, but I gave it a try.
Learn a programing language - Last year, I knew basic HTML. Now I know HTML and CSS. Its a start. I hope to learn something like Delphi or Python, to a useable extent.
Now were rolling. At the least, I can program in Delphi, PHP and Python to a useable extent. A tiny, weeny, bit of C, but all in all, the object languages are for me.
Contribute to a Open Source project - I just feel, at the moment, that it would be a thing to get me busy and more involved.
Well, a bit. I sent in a tiny snippet of code to the Teen Lug CMS project. I could do a lot more, but at the mo, I’m being greedy.
Flickr Daily, Blog Bi - Blog once every two days and upload photos to Flickr once a day.
Pfff! That was a long-shot, even at the best of times. I didn’t even last 2 days.
Spend more time on school work - Right now I just do it, I should put more into it.
Like above, we can all dream.
Read more books - I’ve got a whole load of Sherlock Homes books for Xmas, there waiting to be read.
I got through two books on my trip to France. Catcher in the Rye (great book) and Hound Of The Baskivilles (even better). Two books read in a period of 5 days. Thats not a hobby, its simple binge reading.
Over all, the score comes back as 2/6. Not too bad. I’m pretty pleased with that. Thats one year done. Lets see what I can get done in the year of Zero Eight.
Time to set six more, almost reachable, goals.
