The "Self Project"
Lou Brothers has something called the "Self-Project" where he has set out certain goals for himself in three different areas: Personal, Professional and Social. Since emulation is a sign of flattery (a bad paraphrasing, I'm sure) I've rolled my own.
Initial Plan: July 2002
- Personal
- Learn basic written/oral Korean (not started)
- Learn 400 new Chinese characters (not started)
- Reach a level of basic oral Russian capability (not started)
- Read a reasonably long Spanish novel (not started)
- Take a class or read a book on auto mechanics (not started)
- Professional
- Learn basic XML, how to parse it with Perl, and transform it with XSLT (in progress...)
- Learn basic PHP, and complete a small project with it. (not started)
- Install Linux on a computer I build myself or with a friend (not started)
- Social
- Plan and execute the Brea Posse 5 year mini-reunion (in progress...)
- Go to Dodger game with friends (not started)
- Get involved in or initiate a regular sports activity (not started)
- Go mini-golfing several times (not started)
