new years resolutions
7/01/2009Firstly, Happy New Year!
In 2006 I graduated, 2007 I got married, 2008 I had my first child….2009 has a lot to live up to!
To make sure it doesn’t go down the pan I thought I’d better make some resolutions, so here they are in all their glory…
exercise more
Ok lets get the obligitories out of the way
eat less
See above
blog more
Having just become a Dad, I’m finding any spare time to be a rarity. However, I need to pull my finger out and blog more often, starting with this one (if this is the latest entry in a months time, then you have my permission to punch me in the stomach)
get more involved
Even simple things like commenting on blog posts and twitter updates. I read so many of the things, but can never normally be bothered to put my 2 cents across, this needs to change, because my opinion is quite frankly, awesome 
get motivated
With the run up to Chrimbo, I seemed to lose all motivation for work and the web, I’m sure having a baby had something to do with this as well, but I definately want to get this back in 09 and I will damnit.
frameworkerisation
Want to start developing with a framework, with Zend being preferred choice for PHP and am still musing over a javascript framework to go with, jQuery and MooTools are in pole position at the mo.
get back into css
I use very little html/css these days, with the bulk of what I do being purely php, which is how I prefer it. However, I would like to get back into css and having read Transcending CSS: The Finid Art of Web Design I think I need to get back into it before it all goes completely over my head.
become zend certified
This is like 3rd year on the trot this has been a resolution, but who knows, maybe this year will be the year. Just need to find someone who wants to pay for me to take the exam…
attend a conference
Again this one hinges on someone paying for me, because I’m a tight git. Would love to go to FOWA, PHP conference, PHPNW etc. and hope I get the chance in 09.
