Resolutions & Plans for 2009

Thanks to MD for the idea.

Resolutions. These are things I must do for the significant betterment of myself.

  1. Start higher education.
    • For fuck’s sake, I work a block from CCP at the moment.
    • I don’t want to do IT for the rest of my life.  I’ll stay computer & tech savvy, but I’d like tech to be tools in my work rather than work’s primary focus.
  2. Drive towards having as good a relationship with my brother as the one I share with my sister.

Plans. These aren’t resolutions, merely things that can result in lifestyle improvements and satisfaction of pursuits.

  • Get the house feeling like home.  It’s moving at a slow crawl.
  • Blog more regularly.  My writing already suffers and I do have a lot to say.
    • Blog about my fantastic trip before I forget it.
    • Use Yelp.com like I mean it.
  • Move to a more robust and variable password variety system.  Most of my identities have a unique and relatively strong password, but they could be stronger, tougher to extrapolate the others from, and still easy for me to categorize.
  • Fully migrate my google identity & primary email to Steven.Feldman@ (calendar, contacts, docs, chat, etc).  Minimize use of my bootsector.org account with the intent to leave it entirely, and migrate chickencow@ to solely a mailing list/bulk/spam account.
    • There are a lot of Steven Feldmans out there apparently.  I’ve received some funny emails.
    • Google Docs.  ‘nuff said
  • BSG from beginning to end.  I’ve hardly seen any and I owe it to the small but starving sci-fi fanboy in me.  Thanks Sipes
  • Stay away from timesink video games.  Fallout 3 is kicking my ass in awesomeness and squandered time.
  • Decide on and build a network at home functional for Anne & I.  Desired results: RAID file/media server, media PC for downstiars, comfortable office PC, strong wireless access in basement, yard, and all rooms.
    • I really liked the apple TV.  Is there a linux equivalent, and is it as good?  Will Apple TV work with non-apple file servers?  DVR?
    • No Windows OS in the house except for laptops.
  • Play Go a little more regularly
  • Get certifications while I’m still at NTR
