New Years Resolutions

January 2nd, 2010

Hi All,

I thought with this being the start of the year an all that I would make some New Years resolutions. I don’t normally do this as I’m terrible at keeping to them. I thought though that Ishould try this year and at least make them achievable (Winning the lottery never seems to happen).

  1. Stop smoking.
    I’ve been trying to stop smoking for years and actually managed it a few years ago for about 6 months. This time it will happen though. I’m currently on my 5th day. I see can a treat of a curry for getting through the 1st week.
  2. Eat more healthily and do some exercise.
    Not as many kebabs and Indian takeaways this year. I’ll also try and cut down on the drinking as well. I’m sure a few of you will miss the “rixhamisation” when we go out (you know who you are :-) ) but I think it has to be limited this year.
  3. Read up more on the technical stuff and actually come up with an app that may be of some use.
    What I really want to do is get more in to OO programming and learn someVB.Net and some Ruby. This is already in hand and I hope to start looking more at a Ruby app in the next week or so with @marcjohnson and @ashleymoran.
  4. Make some positive changes to work practices and become more efficient in projects and management.
    Think I need to do some more reading on Agile management process, OO programming and some more Project Management.

I think that these resolutions are achievable during this year. Most of these have already been started on already.

So what are your resolutions for this year? Maybe we can help each other out?

A hope every one has a great 2010.

Cheers,
Richard
