I'm going to start a thread that we can all look back at this time next year and see how we did.
I'd like to know everyone's goals since we all have similar interests but may have different goals.
My goal:
-get my Sec+
-cut down on drinking
-take diet more seriously
my new years resolution is 1920 x 1080.
Maybe this is the year I go for 1440p.
I am hoping my new year's resolution to be 2560x1080... Or 1920x1080 freesync...
Otherwise freesync... I have been drooling for so long at freesync, that I will freesync it up this year...
Otherwise nothing really... Hopefully more social contacts, since this year suffered massively on that area...
I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. Setting one or two large goals for yourself and making their success dependent on the year is setting yourself up for failure.
If you truly want to change your life make small, incremental changes and start making them right now.
Then self review every little while and ensure you're on track
That's what I did to lose weight a couple years ago. Go for a little at a time, and suddenly I had dropped over 60 pounds.
To be more on topic, general goal for 2016 is to graduate with my B.S. and get a job related to said degree, not necessarily in that order. I'm lined up to graduate in May and I've applied to eight or nine positions just the other day. Maybe see if it's worth it switch my minor to a second degree since it should only be an extra 4 or 5 classes or thereabouts.
My new years resolution is going to be 3440 x 1440 when I get the Acer Predator X34.
force myself to study regularly, until it's second nature. or at least palatable. Only ever needed to do a bit of cramming before tests to do well, but Uni isn't so forgiving
2560x1080 freesync.
-Get part time job (preferability enjoyable)
-Get 32 inch waist back
-learn to code
-make something from my idea notebooks
New years resolutions are a joke to me - they almost invariably fail.
It doesn't have anything to do with resolutions or anything, but I've been in limbo for about two years. I've had solid, gainful employment for the past 18 months, though, so it's been okay. But this year will be when I start to move on with my life. All the arrangements will be made by the end of January.
This isn't my new year's resolution, it just happens to line up with the start of the year, but I'm ready to get my motorcycle endorsement and start a YouTube channel.
Teach yourself coding and apply for some software positions :)
4K ..... still haven't unpacked the tv and hooked it to the Xbox One S
1x1. Bring back Morse code!
The same as last year 1680-1 x 1050 (there's a vertical line of dead pixels in the middle)
Same goal; eat less, run more.
How do you recommend learning to code? Where should someone start? I was thinking of auditing a basic computer science class this year. I don't get credit but I will get access to the classes, teacher, and online study materials.
In the past, Ive tried Codcademy, Free Code Camp, and other free online classes. However, Ive always reached the point of frustration with the material. The material goes from basic lessons to using all of the lessons together to code a basic website or program. I never learned well unless I had a teacher to help guide me through my basic (stupid) questions.
(edit) bonus: Start to learn to code. Either over the summer or through my college
-Continue my weight loss path to my goal before getting serious with free weights again
-Finish college with a 4.0 (good fucking luck me with my shit schedule)
-CEH before graduation in May (again good luck me)
-Screw around with Windows Server, AD, and more enterprise security measures as opposed to my traditional formula of Linux and kill
-Finally read through "Automating the Boring Stuff With Python"
-Full time job in InfoSec by June
-Move out of parents' house by end of year
Going to be a fun year...
I don't believe in resolutions.
I do have a goal of getting my CISSP this year though...and finally buckling down to learn Python.
