It's that time of year again: Reflect on the year's successes and flubs... Of which some were "resolutions" and some were merely wish-list items.
Notable flubs:
- Practically all work-related items were flubs but there again, I didn't seriously expect Blizzard to give me the "pink slip".
- Most FOSS project items were flubs but there again, changing job and relocating puts a serious crimp on one's free time.
- Failed to maintain the fitness improvement - Finished 2010 at 235lbs, 2011 at 198lbs and I'm finishing 2012 at 206lbs. Could be worse, I suppose.
Hard pressed to think of any real successes which were on the 2012 list. There are a few work successes at my job at +LinkedIn but they don't count because this time last year, I was only a user of their site.
Anyways, on to non-work wish-list for 2013... Not solid resolutions because, meh.
- Would be nice to get back to under 200lbs again.
- I am going to make time for Free and Open Source projects:
- OQGraph for MariaDB
- Cleanup the v3 work
- Get it merged into trunk.
- External Stored Procedures for MariaDB
- Cleanup the current work.
- Include the proof-of-concept work to split the parser so that the stored procedure parser is plugable.
- Get it merged into trunk.
- Playing with Raspberry Pi
- I plan to outfit my Pi with more IO using cheap PIC16 parts and make all the source and schematics open.
- I want to make a small bipedal robot, powered by a Pi or two.
- Is it possible to use I2C as a Transport for NDBCluster?
- Just for fun:
- Participate in more get togethers with other Blizzard alumni who are now in the SF Bay area.
- Personal development:
- I'm planning to relearn the piano.
- Read more books. I have a backlog of books, including fiction books, that I want to read.
- Eventually get my home office organised.
I'll see where it leads...
