Never Say Never

It seems like every blog I read has a list of goals posted for the year.  This seems like a pretty good idea and I thought I’d follow suit.  The following are my professional goals for 2010.  I’ve noted my current values of some of the things as a public reference to keep myself honest =).

Community Involvement

• 600 new posts on SSC Forums. (Currently at: 1185)
• Write 1 article for SSC.
• 2 live presentations done on SQL Server.  (15 minute mini-sessions will count for this)
• Write 52 blog posts.

Networking

• Add 25 connections on Linked-In.  (Currently at 32)
• Attend 10 User Group Meetings and 2 SQL Saturdays.

Learning

• Read 3 sql related books in full.
• Attain my MCITP: DBD 2008.  I’ve got my MCDBA, but it’s time to update.
• Learn at least the basics of .NET to the point that I could create a website.

Some of my goals are are a little conservative, but still challenging enough that I think I’m going to have to work towards most of them.  The presentations are something that I’m not sure if I’m going to enjoy or not, but I really want to at least try it and see how it goes.
