I’m having my first sleepless night of 2009 thinking about what I want to accomplish this year. Some personal. some work related.
- Complete "Version 2" of our automation solution at work. "Version 1" has been focused purely around building a solid Powershell framework and has us moving in the right direction. Looking at VMWare Lab Manager to really take it to the next level.
- Get some paperwork behind my knowledge. Targets are CCNA, MCSA/E and MCAD. I tend to learn stuff without taking tests to show I know the subject. I think employers would rather have experience over certs but the wife wants me to get them anyways. Better keep her happy 😉
- Start digging into a couple technologies that I use but am not intimate with. These include C#, SQL Query, ASP.NET, Web Services. Just those (and of course Powershell) should keep me busy this year.
- Get some landscaping done around the house. Dirt and rocks are getting really boring to look at. Need to spice things up a bit.
- Teach my son how to play all the sports I know. Time to start finding out which ones he likes or is good at.
- Do what I can to help my wife get through another year of school on her way to a degree.
