It’s always hard to not meet your goals.
Even harder to admit them to the public:-).
But, here it goes, and here’s the progress I’ve made… [Read more…] about January Goals, Did I Do Them?
20 Hours Ahead
Documentation as a Discipline
A while ago, I read a post from Tom McFarlin about keeping a change log. I had actually just started a massive project and was scrambling to remember what I did the previous month and why. Also, we had promised to deliver technical documentation and user manuals. I figured that I would get through the project (which was due at the end of November) and spend a day or two developing the documentation at that point.
Bad idea. Here’s why… [Read more…] about Documentation as a Discipline

An Honest Review on my January Plan
“Uhh ohh…”
I looked at my watch. I couldn’t believe it was already Sunday. Not just anytime on Sunday, but evening. That meant that the weekend was over and it was time to get back to the weekly projects at hand tomorrow (that is, today!).
This isn’t a post about “a case of the Mondays”, and it’s not about how to use your weekends to get a few extra projects done (if you’re into that… I am!).
This is simply a post about my January Plan (see original plan here), the progress I’ve made, and what I still hope to accomplish in 13 days.
