Mid-year assessment

Posted in Uncategorized at July 1st, 2008 / No Comments »

Half the year’s done, and I feel I haven’t made any real progress. These are the things I’d like to accomplish within the year:

Big Technical Stuff

  1. Be a Real Technical Lead: draw up a sound technical plan, convince a team to work on it, and lead that team to successfully implementing it
  2. Learn rSpec – the complete stack: mocks, model tests, controller tests, and runnable user stories
  3. Learn Solaris

Hobbies

  1. Buy a bike and ride regularly
  2. Learn ActionScript, write and publish a web game
  3. Learn drawing computer game graphics
  4. Learn photography
