New year resolutions: 2019

13 Dec 2018

In France we have new years resolutions. Usually I don’t say anything because I tend to forget them. However, as I am writing more and more online, I wonder if writing some resolutions here would be a good incentive to meet them… I believe in setting my own goals, would it be personal goals or personal goals, to avoid the routine. So let’s do it.

Read more books, with broader topics

2018 has been a good year for me. I read a bunch of great Scifi books. These are truly inspirational, but I feel I am always getting my ideas from the same source. In 2019, I aim to read at least:

• Fiction book not related to scifi
• Non-fiction that does not relate to technology
• A book that seems totally at odds with my life
• A great classic
• Some engineering book about space engineering (yea!)

A few month ago, I read Pachinko and it was an awesome read. I need to reiterate this experience next year.

Finish my NES/Raspberry project

I want to complete my NES emulator and put it in a raspberryPi so that I can play on my TV. The emulator does not need to be perfect but I want to run at least:

• Super Mario Bros 3 (tough one)
• The Legend of Zelda
• Final Fantasy

There is still a long road to go but this kind of very concrete project is the most awesome learning experience.

Contribute to Open-source

I want to start sharing more the experience I get from work and personal projects. Either it would be by contributing more to some projects on github or by writing more on this blog.

Get my Finance straight

Start saving that godamn money!

Start a new aventure

This one is less concrete and more personal. I want to do something that really matters to me and people around. Unspecified yet.

See you in one year!
