Impossible List - 15 August

How far I've come over the course of the last month in regards to the impossible list of goals I've set for myself.

Professional

So the wheels fell off the wagon. As I was attempting to turn the system on live I noticed that didn't have the correct IDs to reply back to the original tweets. So I'm currently in the process of re-writing the phrase generation aspect of the system. While I was at it I figured I'd add in a few new items and pulled images from Wikicommons so who knows if the whole thing will work when I'm done.

Hopefully it'll all work out in the end.

As for the phonetic spell checker I've gotten back on track with the founder of that business and planned out a third and final attempt to get this MVP built.

Health / Fitness

I have reversed the trend of me getting fatter and I'll need to work hard, but I think I can get myself back down lower again. I'm current sitting around 13 stone and need to loose about 10 pounds to hit my next weight target.

Still in hibernation is my ollie, perhaps I'll get the skateboard out this summer.

Personal Skills

I've roughed out 21 chapters so far and will continue to move forward.

Flickr now has 411 photos in it.

Travel / Events

I'll have been to Morocco by the time the next impossible list blog update comes out.

Volunteering / Charity

I'm still working on our new and improved advertising/marketing strategy at Tayside Re-Users. This has currently been designed and is set to go live on 1 August for three months. We'll evaluate the outcome of that work and seek to create membership cards to be used to boost our membership.

Education / Languages

Looking at DuoLingo and working out how long it should take I see that most of this year will be taken up with completing Russian in DuoLingo.

Financial

Settling into my new promotion. currently looking at £65k per year in salary, so without wanting to move to a new company (which currently would be a bad idea, I am very happy with my current position and colleagues) I think it will be a wee bit before I can advance my salary to £80k unless something internal opens up as a direction to move upwards, but this will most likely involve me transitioning to a management role.

Still awaiting immigration getting back to me, but with everything happening in the UK I'm fairly certain that my application is the least of their worries.
