gist of 2007

by Vasil Kolev

Not having what to do (and it’s too early to start drinking) here’s the gist of what happened…

This year I didn’t relocate, not like the previous two;
I drowned myself in work. Even in the vacations I found what to do. Now I know also why I did it;
Saw Her again.
Found myself. Something horrible will come out of this (some people already see it);
Upgraded the blog (e.g. mostly ported a lot of dirty hacks from the old one);
Made a course in network security at which we also did video recordings;
I made somewhat good lecture for Openfest, not like the year before;
I started drinking somewhat above the normal in the last three months;
No big epilepsy seizures this year;
There was a nice quantity of fun with protest, etc., at some point I even found myself interested in politics;
In 2-3 weeks I installed, configured and deployed a cluster (work time was 4-5 days), it’s working OK in the last week;
I wrote three stories;
Went to a nice quantity of parties, it’s a bit weird even;

Stuff planned for 2008:
To buy a bass guitar;
To put a good twitter plugin in the blog (which I’ll probably have to write myself);
To work a bit on marla and the problems with the load;
To make some planning at work;
To get back at least a bit of the ability to be with people and not to feel it as a problem;
To spend at least one evening every week in reading instead of in front of the machine (I was doing that a few months ago);
… and some stuff that can’t be planned or written.
