I could lie and say that I’ve made a load of New Year resolutions, but I haven’t.
2010 is now upon us and I’ll be back to my “normal” schedule come Monday.
What does that mean?
I guess I’ll be spending quite a bit of time on conference calls this year, as I’ve ended up on several policy groups within ICANN.
Of course policy work is wonderful and interesting, but it doesn’t pay the bills, so I’m hoping that some of the stuff we’ve been working on behind the scenes will “go live” sooner rather than later.
Having goals helps me to focus, so I will be paying a lot more attention to the registry reports that I have access to. Most of the registries, such as .me, .tel etc., provide their registrars with very detailed breakdowns of their account activity.
I also have to admit that I’ve become quite addicted to RegistrarStats.
On a more personal level.
The number of close relatives I have in Ireland is shrinking. My sister is off travelling in Asia before heading on to Australia to do a post-grad. One of my aunts is still in hospital in Cavan, while the other hasn’t lived in Ireland for over 30 years.
Since I seem to accumulate silly numbers of dvds, blu ray and CDs I really do need to find a saner way of organising them. Spending 45 minutes looking for a CD or DVD is not my idea of fun!
Books are also another issue. While I don’t have the quantities that other relatives have I really do need to get more bookcases before they takeover all the available surfaces in the house.
Last year I started doing screencasts for the company, so I’d like to do more of those this year. I’d also love to do a few podcasts, so persuading a few friends / victims to talk to me “on record” may be on the cards .. though I really need to sort out the practical side of that all first.
What I am NOT looking forward to.
Monday morning.
