New year's first post - 2011

A new year and a new decade has started. Its 2011 - year of new developments, creations, fun, gaming, chatting, surfing, and lots of opportunities and targets. This year has started with a trip to IIT-B's TECHFEST 2011 ( for the 3rd time :P ). It was a yet another great experience but with a twist. As there were no software events, I decided to take part in a mechanical event this time called FULCRUM - An event where we had to create a crane from ice-cream sticks :). I together with my friends Ankit and Nishant made a crane that was somewhat awesome being a first attempt though it failed to lift the required weight. Nevertheless, building it was fun and I enjoyed a lot. This is a pic of our crane.

You can count the number of ice creams we had to eat ;)

And now back from TECHFEST, its time to dive into some serious stuff. Just to keep a record of what my plans are for this year, here is a list of it.

1. More blogging, writing tutorials for blogs and forums.
2. Be active on programming forums like actionscript.org, dreamincode.in etc
3. Create a playable MMORPG in flash. (tough job).
4. Do some freelancing stuff.
5. Improve my website...make it better in looks and functionality.
6. Develop Rickshaw Brawl into a complete full version game.
7. May be apply or at least prepare for a job in gaming companies.
8. Work on my aptitude skills :P
9. Develop some AIR applications for the Intel AppUp store and Adobe Marketplace.
10. Participate in as many GAME JAMs as possible. Cool thing >:D
11. Register my own game company...not sure though.
12. And lots of lots of learning the whole year - new languages, hacks, games, etc.

EDIT:

1. Become a caricature expert :)

NOTE : These are in no order of priority.
Lets see how the year goes. All the best to all for their plans.

Happy New Year everyone !
Keep Flashing !

Cheers !
