Hi there! The change in year is always a good opportunity for retrospectives and for New Year's Resolutions. The former are usually much better as the resolutions are usually only kept for 1-2 weeks, but the retrospectives allow you to see what you really achived. This time you can read the achivements of Mohammad Anwar, the esteemed editor of the Perl Weekly newsletter. I don't know how he finds the time and energy for all this, but it is very inspirational! In other news, have you seen the job posts at the bottom of the newsletter? Check them out! You might find your next challenge there! If it was not for my existing clients, I'd go with the one that has the skiing trips. Enjoy your year! Gabor Szabo |
