Impossible List - 15 November

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

I've finished my Bliss Symbolics keyboard up to the point where it now needs to be configured into an npm package. What I am hoping to do is work up a whatsapp clone and then work out how I am going to consume the Bliss Symbolics keyboard which should help inform the conversion to an npm package as well as set up its first use in an application.

We've had a bit of a lull in the phonetic spell checker, I'm not sure if its going to come back online. I guess this is the danger in putting goals up that require the input of others.

Health / Fitness

So I'm getting it into my head that next year is going to see me hit my weight goals of 11st 11lb and from that point I'm going to switch to working on weight training to build my strength and some running to build up my endurance.

Still in hibernation is my ollie.

Personal Skills

My book has went into hibernation as well. I might give it a wee while to settle down and then come back to it.

Flickr now has 490 photos in it.

Travel / Events

I'm currently in the planning phase for getting myself and Louise over to Norway for the Sami Reindeer Races in Tromsø.

Volunteering / Charity

I've started gathering the information required to do sales and footfall analysis of our advertising run and see if we can see anything in the data.

Education / Languages

Looking at DuoLingo and working out how long it should take I think this might take a good little while, most likely well into next summer before I'm nearing completion.

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. I'll have to weigh that opportunity if it comes.

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.
