2008: Moments worth a note

Here I am, Friday night, trying to remember what happened with me in 2008. I spent a couple of days just trying to figure out a nice title for this post. In the end I shouted out for help on Twitter; thanks Martin :). So here it goes, moments in 2008 that are worth a note — I'll try to keep it as short as possible :)

The most important: I passed all my exams at the College, only the graduate work left to do and I'll get my BSC degree. Hurray!

Served military service which is obligatory in my country; 9 months of volontary work at the local Red Cross office.

Worked for 5 months in a local development company — learned a lot of new things and got to know some really good guys and gals; thanks all ;)

All visuals done by Livia Radvanski

In, I think, August bought this domain, to finally create my online playground. My girlfriend did a real good job on creating the visual look and feel of my site and blog — all that you see here are results of her work. Thanks Livi :)

This place was up and runnin' in early September, the first blog post was written on 4th September. Since then there are 23 posts, 99 comments, 1100+ spams, around 60 feed subscribers and 3000 monthly page views.

Started using Twitter somewhere in September heavily; so heavily that I needed to cool out from it for a while, the bloody thing was going out of control.

Bought a shiny new 22" LG monitor; probably not a big news to most of you, but it is for me, took me a couple of months to spare teh money for it.

Started learning Python in December.

Hmm... Can't think of nothing else... Told you it's gonna be short. Moments that are not mentioned here are those great moments that I spent with me lady during weekends or interesting moments that I spent somewhere deep in the code during weekdays.

Plans for 2009

Not many at the moment. To move in with Livia (we planned moving in for 2008, but that got postponed :() To learn some new stuff. To graduate. To work. To start and finish 2 non-profit projects (sites, actually) that I'm planning for a while. To contribute to an open source project(s). Go to Greece for 2 weeks during the summer. Go to the AC/DC concert in Belgrade.

So yes, I had a great year, and hopefully gonna have an even better one :)

Happy Holidays everyone, merry Chritsmas and have a blast for New Year's Eve! I'll be back next year :)

Cheers!
