My daughter turned 5 and what a lovely little being she is developing into. Time doesn't stand still for a moment and trying to preserve the memories with my girls is quite a challenge. We wanted to do the traditional birthday zoo visit, but the weather predictions (80% chance of rain) had us choose a safer option - an indoor play area. This year we've decided to hold off her party till the end of the month once schools resume and all her friends are back from holiday. She is looking forward to her "Hello Kitty" themed party.
I then had a surprise from my eye - the lens implant I had done about 3 years ago came loose leaving me with rather blurred vision on the left. We (wife, mom and I) had a challenging time trying to get hold of the eye specialist on a Sunday to understand what we needed to do. Finally after phoning around we got hold of the specialist and saw him the next day. Three days later had a small procedure to put the lens back in place, the vision has been improving, but not quite right yet, need a month to settle.
We celebrated mom's birthday this past weekend and my wife and I are jealous about her Canon 60D that she got. What a fine piece of equipment and it takes such awesome pictures.
So on the tech front for this year I would like to set some challenges for myself, in no order of importance or priority:
- learn HTML5 and it's woes
- dev an Android app for me phone
- get more advance with Asterisk PBX
Thats all I can think of now, but I'm sure it wont be limited to that, or possibly it might given the fact that time goes pretty quick when you're having fun...
Lets hope this is not my only writing for the year...
