I found it helpful last year to enumerate some goals and check back in with them from time to time throughout the year. So this year I’m trying it again. I actually started this list in January but am only just now getting around to posting it.
- Finish my home page update. Check.
- Finish setting up the new home server.
- Finish Microsoft MCTS certification. I've already taken the 70-536 exam, I just need to finish studying and take the 70-528 exam. I’m also required to get some certifications for work this year.
- Learn more about Silverlight and WPF. This is something I want to get at least a rudimentary knowledge of, but I don't want to sacrifice everything else for it.
- Learn more about Flash. My goal is to create a flash "thing" for my home page. Not really sure what the "thing" will be yet. I need to look at some other flash things on other sites to get some ideas. A first step in this process would be to find some software for actually creating flash things.
- Use more jQuery in web projects.
- Do something with my hostgator web host or cancel it. Maybe convert it to an ASP.NET host so I can try out some Microsoft stuff there. UPDATE: Oops, hostgator doesn't have Windows hosting.
- Move some more of my projects to Google Code.
- Give Ubuntu or some other Linux variant a serious trial.
- Write some music. I haven't done much of anything musical since about 2001, and I think it's about time to change that. I need to organize the studio and make it as easy as possible to just sit down and start creating something.
- Try creating a regular podcast. I don’t really have a good topic, though. I’m thinking it should be something with a local flavor, though. Maybe something instructional.
- I also have this crazy idea to do some short cell animations.
