.plan 2008
Like most sheeple out there I also make plans. Here are my plans for this year. As usual these end up as exactly those things I didn’t do, but hey, you can’t blame a guy for trying, right?
The IT company that’s being created by me and a friend of mine should emerge sometime this year. Like I’ve written before, this’ll shake the IT world on it’s foundations. Well, maybe not exactly, but it will have it’s impact. I think. I hope. Oh well, it’ll be my main source of income in the near future so you bet this won’t be the last you’ve heard of it.
I’ve got two large projects ahead of me, both equally challenging. First, there’s JBISC, my very own programming language. This project will take years to complete, starting this year. I don’t know how much effort I will put into it, because it’s quite a daring operation for a guy who’s writing C for only four years or so. I do know I won’t be getting much help from the F/LOSS community. My back-to-the-basics idea of the ideal programming language seems to be exactly the opposite of theirs. It’s my job to prove them all wrong I guess.
The second one is a CRM software system. In a shared source deal with PhotonCRM I will take part in the creation of the world’s next leading CRM system as well as my employer’s own system. We and the guys at Photon have some really awesome ideas (which I’ll discuss later, when it’s time). Awesome enough to get really excited about this project. This is also the first F/LOSS project I’ll be paid for to participate. Although not directly, it’s still money in exchange for (awesome) code.
In the few hours I’ve got left in this year I’ll be creating so-called “New Media Content”. I sure as Hell don’t know what it means exactly but someone told me I did. Anyway, I’ll be picking up my photography hobby again and publish some of my work on the interwebz. I know this is wrong to say about oneself, but I’ve got talent. And I want to polish my ego by showing others what I’ve created. First I’ll have to replace my old 50mm ASLR with a brand new DSLR. My old camera just can’t do what I want it to do. I mean, come on, a 50mm f/1.9 auto revuenon on a revueflex SDI aren’t the tools that adhere to my standards. The lenses for this camera are more expensive than a new DSLR, so this won’t be a hard choice to make.
Talking of photography, my trip to New Zealand next summer will produce some really nice winter imagery. I can’t wait to go. I just end up playing ETQW’s Volcano.
I’ve been writing this post while listening to The Prodigy’s Fat of the Land album. Damn, it’s almost 11 years old already. That’s officially vintage I guess. I feel like an old fucktard right now, heheh.
