2011 New Year's Bucket List

Last year I got excited and said I'd try to blog once a week to make sure I stayed on track. But as you can tell from the listings here, I didn't make it very far. Aside from the controversial post about Linux there really hasn't been too much action at least in the last 6 months anyway. Just like everyone else I'm really busy and finding the time to learn and experiment can be difficult. However with so many cool new and not so new technologies to play with, how can I not dabble. So with that in mind, in no particular order here's my bucket list for 2011:

  • HTML5 (looks so cool!!)
  • Python (my youngest daughter aged 12 is inspiring me here)
  • Grails
  • JQuery
  • Vim (I did say cool not so new technologies)
  • Scala
  • Android
In 2010, messed about with Linux as an OS (and found it fantastic), with Grails and JavaFX in the language space but didn't get to apply either to anything very substantial. Time management is a massive issue for me so I'll need to be pretty organised and set some specific goals. I've got a couple of projects in mind to apply some of this stuff to, so follow along and we'll see what we can learn.
If you've got a suggestion for a cool technology let me know.
