New Year’s Resolution planning

I’m thinking about what I should do in the New Year. Maybe a resolution, but not quite. So far I’m thinking that I need to:

Learn more

Finish “Seven Languages in Seven Weeks” (which I started a year ago as something to “bash through” quickly to find other ways to attack programming problems and have only got half way through!)

Read the Humble Bundle data science books so that I can science data better

Read the Humble Bundle programming books so that I can program better

Read the stack of GIMP magazine PDFs that I downloaded for arty tips

Learn to touch-type better (I can “touch-type” quickly now, but I’m self-taught and I’m sure I don’t do it right, which means I struggle with numbers and sometimes get horrible “typing gibberish because I’m off by one” situations)

Game more

Do more painting of miniatures (mainly for display)

Try my hand at sculpting (I’m planning some clothes “fixes” for some House Escher models for Necromunda)

Get back into gaming in some way

Necromunda

Blood Bowl

Battlefleet Gothic and Man O’ War would also be cool

Oh, and maybe something with all of the many, many old games that my mum is looking after that my grandma found in charity shops over the years!

Get into more of the other tabletop gaming

Fluxx-like games

Empire building games

Settlers of Catan

Meeples games like Five Tribes

Play the SIX DOZEN games that I’ve bought through Humble Bundles and GOG sales/give-aways but never played

Read more William Gibson novels

Learn more of some of the major mythologies (I know very little Greek or Lovecraftian mythos)

Read the DC comic collection that my kid has (partly to see if I can cope with comics, but mainly to learn more DC mythos)

Maybe find something a bit outside that core “Games Workshop and Gibson” area

Do more photography

Sort out more of the photographs that I have

Learn how to crop and process to improve what I’ve taken already

Take more photos

Take more photos of more interesting things

Take more photos in more varied places

Do… more

Fix all of the little things that annoy me

Unsorted photos

Unsorted music

Software niggles

GUI theme niggles

Find and organise all of the sources I’ve got for useful stuff but can never find when I need them (like colour references for data sets, toolkits for specific effects, etc)

Do a thing that’s something and that has an effect somewhere, not just tinkering and minutiae

Just a couple of small things to do, then.

#2014 #short lists #my words

a short list of places I dream about that don't exist

A sort of Winchester Mystery House with rooms that get smaller and smaller until you come out to this grand balcony with giant staircases and sweeping vistas. It is possibly also my friend Emily's house, but only the interconnected bedrooms at the top of the stairs. Having not been to Emily's house since I was in high school (middle school?) I don't recall whether the rooms were furnished the way they were in this house, but I would dream about it every summer at camp when we slept in the big field.

Two bakeries across the street from each other in the Fan. One is more cupcakey, one more for cookies/coffee. I usually go into the cupcake one first and am overwhelmed by all the frosting so I have to leave and go to the cookie one instead. It's painted a warm orange color.
