So I have been tagged by Russ on the Justice Grey challenge. Well here it goes:
Continue my Current Reading Habit - For the last two years I have been reading about one technology book a month and I plan to maintain this habit by reading: Practices of an Agile Developer, The Pragmatic Programmer (reread), Beautiful Code, Object Thinking (reread), and Pragmatic Project Automation.
Increase the signal to noise ratio of my feeds - Prune my 125 feeds down to 50. Get rid of the trash and keep the gold. It has been too long since I have done this. Not only that but my focused has changed a lot as well. When I first started RSS I was doing a lot of design work and now that I am more into backend code I can safely remove a lot of these blogs.
Continue stepping outside of the VS.Net IDE comfort zone - I will do this by continuing to explore Boo and Python programming languages. A big goal would be getting mono to run Boo and MonoRail on my linux server.
Start practicing with my tools - My current skill level with tools like R# and SVN is good but could be a lot better. So at least once a day I should spend 15 minutes practicing with my tools.
Improve my working conditions - Invest some time in getting my keyboard at the right height and other ergonomic considerations.
I will tag: Jim Sowers (if he had a blog), Tim Hibbard, and Jeff Julian.
