2012 and on..

Posted by toalakan-web on January 9, 2012 1 comments

Its quiet interesting that I’m posting my so called 2012 to do list exactly on the same day I posted last year.

As per the status on 2011 resolution I was able to achieve only 3&4 and partially the 2nd item where I lost 5 pounds but gained it over the end of year vacationing in India. So yeah last year wasn’t the greatest but it wasn’t my fault that I was totally occupied watching India win the world Cup with all my friends.

Thanks to Facebook which I joined starting of last year exactly today my blogging activity has drastically gone down to 7 posts for the whole year.

Well this year I have decided to stick with only 3 items and try to achieve it. Here it goes:

  1. Thanks to my new favorite activity of Running that I picked in Sep 2011,now I would like to run 500 miles by the end of 2012 if my legs can keep up.
  2. Become a Good Sharepoint developer, I’m just now in the ice breaking phase.
  3. Less Coffee more tea.

All of the above require need a lot of dedication and motivation to accomplish. Hopefully I keep my self motivated to achieve all of it before end of 2012.

2010 & To do list for 2011

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.

2 down 3 more to go

Yes people it doesn’t happen all time to me but this year 2009 I’m walking the road that I decided to go through 4 months ago.

Now I will be happy to strike off 2 items from the list.

  1. Lose that 10 pounds that I gained last year. I have already started working on it and lost 3 7 pounds in a month so I expect to lose that 10 by end of April 2009. Its slow but works for me.
  2. Get my parents to USA one that has been failing for the last 2 years.
  3. Jump into Adobe Flex.
  4. Talk/read less about the srilankan ethnic issue which I was doing a lot during 2008. Its just too dragging and I have strong appetite to read about it so I’m planning to reduce that appetite.
  5. Increase my blogs viewers base and posts more on tech rather than on politics. It would be hard since 2009 is a election year in India.

I thought loosing the weight would be the hardest but eventually that was not hard but to control  my appetite to read the Srilanka issue was the hardest. Still I read about it here and then but I have completely stopped my urge to blog about it.

With elections coming up in India Google sends in more traffic for the electoral list search post.

Getting my parents here is still a mystery :)

Still 8 more months to go and I hope I will be done with the other 2 as well.
