2009 Goals

I’m not a big “New Years Resolution” person, or even a big goals person,

• Work on my blog more.
  Apart from the obvious blog more, I mean work on some of the other content more as well, polishing the theme, adding microformats (maybe?), etc.
  In 2008 (although I didn’t publish it), I wanted to get a certain amount of RSS subscribers, a target I failed to hit. I guess I’ll aim for that again. The real goal isn’t the raw numbers, but having the valuable content worthy of people subscribing.
   
• Take more photos
  Perhaps not more photos, but better photos? I want to work on my photographic technique. I’ve started construction on a “better” ringflash adapter, I’ve built the frame for a screen (for backgrounds/light reflection), etc. I want to play with off camera flash(s) and lighting more. I’m participating in the Twitter365 photo-a-day thing, after I get bored of the same mugshot everyday I should venture out into more interesting photos of myself if nothing else.
   
• Write more software.
  TVScout/MediaScout is an interesting, but very small scoped project. I have plenty of ideas, even a thing or two up my sleeve already, it’s just finding the time, energy, and now that I’m off the topamax, brain power.
   
• Be closer to finishing Uni.
  At the start of 2008 I was much closer to finishing Uni that I am today, I’ve changed Uni’s/Courses, now with a few years added on. Hopefully I won’t go even further back by 2010.
   
• Exercise
  I certainly don’t need to lose weight or these days even put on weight, my BMI is about 22 which puts me smack in the comfortable area of the “healthy” category. My goal for exercise is going to be one impossible to measure, I’d like to have higher endurance for when I’m suffering “bad days” with my headaches.Exercise is difficult for me, if I push myself too hard I get the usual blood pumping feeling. No big deal, right? Wrong. For me, it’s pure agony. That on top of my chronic headaches stops me in my tracks. I need to find what works for me, ideally something I can do in the comfort of home so if I do push myself too far I don’t have to face the prospect of getting home in pain.
   
• World Domination.
  It really speaks for itself.
   

And yes, I know I’m nineteen days late, but as I explained in my previous post I’ve lacked the brain power to blog until now.
