Auspicious Day to Start Work

Today is the fifth day of Chinese New Year, and the first working day of a brand new week. Surprise.. surprise, it is the worst day to kickstart my job.

WTH!

Based on the following chart, referring to the month of February 2008.. as you can see, I was born in the year of pig.



Well I'm already not feeling well though I don't really believe in it. Maybe it's true, partially in some sense.

For those working adults out there, please try to take a day off on those days indicated 'Worst'. Probably you couldn't, so just step in early and leave early.

I will leave ASAP. It's not a matter of belief, it's just that the holiday mood is still lingers around.

Top 10 New Year's Resolution For Geeks

Firstly, hope you had a happy and wonderful celebration of a brand new year. It seems there are a lot of people posting videos on their new year resolutions in YouTube and asking around in Yahoo!Answers.

Then I happened to stumble on an article from Mark Hopkins regarding new year resolutions for geeks.

Maybe I should craft similar ones in that sense, since there's some lil geeky genes in me.

Some of these resolutions sound great though. Mmm, let's see.

1. Log-in to my social networks more than twice a week
Say hello to Facebook, Friendster, MySpace and Bebo fortnightly and I shall be overwhelmed by the massive amount of spam from the anglosphere. Hope to say goodbye to them before a week ends.


2. Drink the Apple Kool-Aid
I can feel the thrist for Apple laptops. Though Leopard could hunt for attraction in its way (imho) but still lives with the threat from Vista. Yes, everyone needs a change for good. The question is when.


3. Set up a spam bot for Ron Paul
Hey U.S presidential candidate and representative for Texas, please help us and we shall help you. Nice guy indeed.


4. Get control of my personal brand
If you like branded stuff, you should try me. I'm currently memorizing Neil Patel's advice. I'm weird. And weird is a brand though.


5. Invest in the next Google
I want to be a Web 3.0 billionaire. Yay! Dreaming big dream is my first step to achieve the goal.


6. Get my calendaring organized
Google's calendar sounds cool but I seldom use it. Still prefer to stick post-it notes around my monitor which look messy but they tend to get me organized.


7. Travel to more conferences
This is certainly a great way to meet new people around the world and build up the network. Am currently looking for a sponsor.


8. Fix my grammar errors
Whether it's American English or British English, I need someone or something to correct my grammar. It's not for me, it's for your reading pleasure. lols


9. Make the next blockbuster online video podcast
I've Adobe Premiere and Pinnacle Studio installed but first I need a video cam to make this happen.


10. Get my email under control
Let today's printscreen speaks for itself. For you it might appears to be peanuts, but to a nobody like me, it's more like watermelon seeds.


So what's the new year's resolutions for non-geeks? Party all night?
