2008 and 2009

Posted January 3rd, 2009.

Eric Florenzano recently wrote an excellent post titled, "2008 in Review & 2009 Goals". I am now going to blantly steal his idea.

2008:

  • Joined Twitter
  • Voted for the first time
  • Had a blast at PyCon
  • Wrote a reusable Django application and open sourced it
  • Learned git
  • Got accepted at, and began studying Computer Science at RPI
  • Wrote a blog post every day for 30 days in a row
  • Started work on my programming language, Al
  • Contributed heavily to Django
  • Started a blog
  • Proposed a panel for PyCon 2009 and was accepted

And probably quite a bit more.

2009:
  • Continue work on Al, bring it up to a usable state
  • Continue writing on my blog
  • Propose a talk for another conference
  • Continue contributing to Django
  • Become a committer on one of the projects I use
  • Do something interesting over the summer, hopefully a cool internship or Google Summer of Code
  • Do well in class

In light of all the stuff that happened in 2008 I hope these are reasonable goals.
