Finally after nearly a week into the 2010 (twenty ten) I’ve decided to consider my New Year’s Resolutions. I could always go with the generic resolutions like, exercise more, loose more weight, read more etc. This year I figure something more practical should be important.
What can be more practical than to reduce procrastination and work on discipline. I suppose discipline might be more important since it is discipline which requires more effort but alas in order to become discipline you must stop procrastinating. A conundrum which is not easy to resolve. Yet, if I concentrate on discipline I theorize that procrastination will slowly diminish.
Anyway, here is my list for this year. Hopefully I’ll make some progress with these goals and after a month or two I can see if I’ve made it past the difficult stages. They say that breaking a bad habit takes 21 days to break, but making it takes less than a week to create. In no particular order:
- Stop procrastinating
- Improve discipline
- exercise at least 3 times a week (kung fu)
- read 1 book a month (literature or fiction)
- spend more time doing research in the library
- build an access database
- finishing learning php
- more may come later
I suppose this is a good start for now.

When “The Seven Serpents Trilogy” was first published in the 80’s, all that was available at the time were two books from the trilogy. I had read both the first and second book but was left wanting to read the final conclusion of the story. Unfortunately the final book had not been publish yet.

I purchased the trilogy in late 2009 and commence to reading this old tale again. The fragments of memory that I had from the original story did not do much to bring back the characters, until I started to read the story. Read More »
