New Year Resolutions for 2013
January 11, 2013
I'm not going to post my entire list of resolutions this year. Some of them were personal and/or music-project related and don't really fit the theme of this blog. Also, the list is rather long...I may have bitten off more than I can chew! :)
While I do have several tech-related resolutions too, they are basically "read that book that I bought ages ago and never did anything with", or they're related to projects that I don't want to publicly announce just yet. But the gist of the resolutions (the tech ones anyway) are:
* Spending more time with PhoneGap
* Spending more time building native iPhone and Droid apps
* Work on a couple ColdFusion open source project ideas i have
* Consolidate some custom/legacy websites i maintain into Mura sites
* Read the aforementioned books, and possibly blog about them
The actual list is a bit more tangible than that -- meaning I have specific projects/goals to achieve with PhoneGap, specific books I plan to read and blog about, etc. I find I work best if my new year resolutions are similar to "annual objectives" one might receive from a Department Manager at work, rather than declarations like "I shall try to be a better programmer"...it's pretty hard to measure that!
Also on the list are fun things:
* Watch 5 classic movies I have never seen before
* Learn 5 new recipes (I've gotten really into cooking and eating/being healthier this year)
* And the music-project stuffs that I mentioned above
So what's on YOUR list of resolutions for the year!? Anything worth sharing?
