Last year's thread:<p>1. Continue on the path of graduating cum laude -- √<p>2. Publish three academic papers -- due to an error on my side, this only became two :-(<p>3. Get a job -- √<p>4. Start a side project which actually has a chance of making some money -- well, this never happened...<p>5. Find the woman of my dreams -- thought I had found her, got rejected for a superficial reason, called her out on it, rejected her, met her again months later but felt I was too busy doing 1 & 2 to invest time in her. She's got a boyfriend now.<p>===============================<p>============This Year=============<p>1. Graduate before september so I can start my PhD position.<p>2. Date more.<p>3. Move to a better place.<p>Should be doable, no?
1. Further nurture being my MDMA-self without actually being on MDMA.<p>2. gain a more fundamental understanding of CS/programming, beyond just the webdev stuff and disjointed snippets of knowledge.<p>3. Find a partner, to ground me somewhat and keep me from getting lost in my thoughts too much (and forget basic good habits like eating, sleeping, working out, and socializing).<p>4. Make more friends, and broaden my network. The past year's been (intentionally) quiet, but I feel I'm missing out on what Berlin has to offer.<p>5. Simplify my life even more, lose more of my ego, practice empathy.
1. Do more freelancing.<p>2. Actually start going to the gym and continue bouldering.<p>3. Release my SaaS (again). First release completely borked because I was reliant on a mate doing the work he said he would. He half arsed it and stuff broke. I learnt to check everything!<p>4. See more of the world. Last year I travelled to Jamaica and Antigua through my employer :)
I have set just one goal for a new business venture (although I have others) which is to hit $50k/month by this time next year. I'm just working this new years eve on the steps required to achieve this.<p>Let me also wish everyone who reads this a prosperous 2014. Hope you achieve what you are aiming for
In no particular order.<p>1) Exercise more<p>2) Get at least one internship<p>3) Find and make something people want<p>4) Make it worth my parent's while to have me home again next Christmas :)<p>5) Learn a new language (been playing with German on Duolingo)
Write a standalone app based on something I have done at work.
See if it makes any money, if not use it as a decent example of what I can do - most freelance gigs seem to expect you to have an example of your work. All my stuff is in house.
Finish redecorating the spare room. I started in July and there's only about 20% wall left to paint.<p>Alright, finish is too big for just one year. I'll cut myself a deal; at least hoover the carpet in there.
- Write more. (started my blog yesterday, I hope I'll be able to continue writing for it.)<p>- Get a new job.<p>- Exercise more. (and don't give up as easily..)<p>- Move to another city
I'd like to release a usable version of my webmail app, Kite (<a href="http://khamidou.github.io/kite" rel="nofollow">http://khamidou.github.io/kite</a>)
