November month in Writing: Week 2 summary

I was able to broadly stick to my writing plan last week, as well as converted a couple of my drafts into finished posts. I read just shy of the first 50 pages of "Release It!", and I am enjoying it so far. Every weekday post was scheduled

November month in writing: week 1 summary

One week down - three to go. This year I am aiming to write my posts a day early, scheduling them for 8:00 AM the following day. That worked last week - but I am off to a late start this week. Fortunately, as of this writing, I already

It's November again...

Last year I did my own take on http://www.nanowrimo.org/ by writing in this blog every day for a month. I plan on doing it again this year. Hopefully the writing habit will stick. I intended to post this last week, but as it is already November 1st

Summary on My Month of Writing

Writing (and clicking submit) every day for a month has been an interesting experience. It's been fun, exciting, frustrating, and time consuming. With this post I can say that I have met my goal to post every day for a month. I have a new appreciation for people

Goals for the week starting 11/30

Results from last week: * I finished reading 'The Tipping Point', and started my next book * I did poorly on the Erlang front - I only read a few pages and installed the Erlang package for Windows. I need to do better next week. * I did finish Java Puzzlers

Goals for the week starting 11/23

Results from last week: * My emphasis on fast tests has gained some stickyness in the office. I have a way to go personally, but progress is being observed. * Read another 50-60 pages of 'The Tipping Point' * Did 2-3 more Java Puzzlers (in the last, 'advanced' section)

Goals for the week starting 11/16

Results from last week: * Much of my week was reactionary, so I didn't write much new code and I fail on the 'test more' front. * I read another 100 pages of The Tipping Point * I did a couple more Java Puzzlers (on 83 or 84 of

Goals for the week starting 11/9

Results from last week: * My test-writing improved, but still isn't where I want it to be. I did write some tests, but not enough. * I didn't get around to trying Guice * I finished reading the Career 2.0 appendix, so now it is officially complete * I

Goals for the week starting 11/2

Goals for the week starting 11/2/09: * Test first. Write unit tests before, or alongside any new code I write this week. * Try out Guice * Finish reading the Appendix of Career 2.0 (I've been slacking!) * Begin reading 'The Tipping Point" by Malcom Gladwell * Continue

Results for the week starting 9/28

I will experiment with whether a second post, or updating the original post, works better. Last week I completed 3 Java Puzzlers and read Career 2.0 each night. I have continued to read nightly, and will finish the book this week. I didn't get around to spending

Goals for this week (starting 9/28)

This week won't have much coding in my forecast (and is approaching half over), but I think it's important to set some goals anyway. * Continue doing 1 Java Puzzler a day * Read a few pages of Career 2.0 [http://www.lulu.com/content/5925115] each

First week's goals (results a month later) - Poor

Well, change isn't always easy, even if you believe in it. I'd say I did fairly poorly on my first week (now a month ago) and those since, though I was on the vacation a decent portion of the time after. Still - that's

This week's goals

Although it took me a week to jumpstart myself after the Career 2.0 talk, I'm setting a set of public goals for this week. Each day, I need to do at least 1 of the following, and each must be done at least once by the end
