2010 & To do list for 2011

Posted by toalakan-web on January 9, 2011 1 comments

Well I know its a little late to post my resolutions for 2011 but its always never late to do things.

Before going into the list 2010 has been one of the most stablest year in my life.No downturns, no pressure, no worries, no unplanned issues rising up,no resolutions to catch up for, tons of free time to spend time with my friends and I even made a 1 month trip to India for Diwali.  2010 was a year where I just roamed around in my own careless way.

So for 2011 I have a list of resolution that I need get it through and pretty much every thing is possible with a little bit of commitment on my end. Here it goes:

  1. To get my California motorcycle license. No more excuses I live in California and I have to enjoy the summer cruising in my bike. If my finances are good may be buy a bike/scooter to ride to office.
  2. To drop off like 10 pounds which I have gained in all of 2010. No more slacking around gotta hit the Gym.
  3. Spend less time on Netflix online.  This will be the hardest one to keep up since I’m a big time movie watcher.
  4. Work on some open source project and being a Coldfusion developer my first preference would be to work on coldbox open source projects/plugins/modules the best CF framework out there.
  5. Blog more on Coldfusion/Coldbox or pretty much any web related technology.
  6. Visit Yellowstone national park. One of the few places that I have been planning to go for a long time.
  7. Visit Tulsa my alma mater and visit some of my friends back there.

Well that’s pretty much the list I can think of right now and hopefully I will be able to achieve some of it by 2012.

Y’ all I moved from Tulsa,OK to San Rafael,CA on Sep 13th,2006.Its been a week since I came to my bro’s place.I lived in Tulsa for the past 2 years.I do miss Tulsa especially

       My office U379 in keplinger hall which I used mostly for non-essential activities like eating,browsing,movies and sometimes studying.

Below is a picture of my office on the day I left Tulsa,it looked more dirtier before when I used it.Now the electrical dept guys took over the office on September 2006.

 I miss Allen Chapman Activity center(ACAC) bcz of Carellos coffee and the food court.Below is a picture of ACAC which I took from Keplinger.

Tulsa is the place where I started living alone for the first time in my life.Here is where I started my life in USA.I never missed even India like this when I came to USA,but I miss Tulsa life so much bcz its where I lived as a king.

TU exterminates SFA

Its been long since I watched a live football match.Today(08/31/06) there was a match between University of Tulsa team and Stephen F.Austin team,it was a boring game.

TU made touchdown every time they got the football and they crushed the SFA team during the first quarter with 23-0.As far as SFA they had too many drops,too defensive,a few interceptions and lots of failed passes.SFA were not even able to clear 10 yards in 4 kicks and go for the kick every 5th time.This was how the game was played till the first half.I left home after the first half(33-0) as it was a one sided game.

Here are some pictures I took at the game,click to enlarge the picture.

First Kick by TU During the Game
Second half Kick off Thats me and Arun behind me..

On the whole it was a good game for the crowd and a gr8 way to start of the season with a winner for TU.The final score was 45-7,I really don’t know how SFA made a touchdown.

Lightning caught on my mobile

The weather yesterday at Tulsa was real bad.There was a thunderstorm and me and my friend karthik were driving through heavy rain.

I shot a picture of the lightning…it was within a 2 mile radius from our position for sure.Since I was recording a video,the clarity of the picture is pretty bad.It was hell of a day,we saw at least 3 fire engines moving towards the direction of the lightning soon afterwards.
