I guess you could technically claim that I didn’t fail at the resolutions I made earlier this year. The year isn’t over, however I believe that having long term goals such as these may be a bad idea. At this point, I believe that many of the resolutions I made [I.e. Learning R, meeting people who dealt with airline systems, and learning GridGain] may not be the best use of my time.

It might be a better use of my time to do periodical reviews of my current skillsets and recent tasks rather than to push forward blindly.

I’m not giving up on learning new things. I’m just not going to limit myself to a list.

Some of the technologies/tools I’ve been learning lately:

  1. OpenStack

  2. ArchLinux

Some technologies I would like to learn:

  1. Storm

  2. Ansible
