Belated Happy New Year

A very belated happy new year to all.

I managed to catch a pretty horrible cold on Christmas eve that persisted for a week. I suspect I was hit pretty hard because I was pretty burned out. Christmas day with 3 young children and a heavy cold is not something I would wish on anybody.

Still the children really enjoyed it and I struggled though and only once fell asleep.

In my recovery phase I played thought Gears Of War 3. As my reactions and brain were shot to pieces I played through on casual mode (that is their renaming of easy). I am now playing though on a harder level as I enjoyed it that much.

Around this time of year I usually re-access my goals and set some targets for the year. A bit like everyone else really. I usually discuss my tech goals on this blog. This year I don't seem to have the desire to delve deep.

My plan for 2011 was too spend most of my time learning web technologies. This translates to learn a bit about servers and mess with the canvas element. That was pretty successful even if in the final few months I did not publish much.

I spent probably an hour today pondering where I should go next. At the end of it I am not really sure. Basically I decided to not make or set any goals for a while and go with the flow. I think I am in the mood for coding and creating and getting stuff done rather than setting goals. Probably best to roll with this and re-access my desires in a month or two.
