    Well it is that time isn't it? Ok. So the map that I have planned out for this year would probably be to start my certification collection and grab a shodan in karate. Lucky for me I'm halfway there in karate so that's one thing that I don't have to start from scratch on.

    all depends on what happens with my current job, as some of you will remember a year ago I gave up my permanent job which had no career prospects to go for a 12 month fixed term contract elsewhere, the 12 months comes up at Christmas and although they are trying to keep me, all comes down to budgets so will have to see what they can manage...

    ... otherwise I am currently studying the Windows 8 configuring exam, I gave up on the Windows 7 exams as even though I tried to focus, my brain just wasn't taking it in and as I have now upgraded to Windows 8.1 I feel studying Win8 will not only teach me how to use it properly but also how to use in the enterprise market for when the day comes with it being rolled out.

    You want him to do the writing? :)

    When is that going to happen? :)

    I’m only kidding but I can see businesses hanging onto Windows 7 for as long as possible to try and miss Windows 8. Kinda like XP all over again.

    I haven't really thought about any goals.

    Just keep doing what I do I suppose, learning all the time. Oh and become a better person. That sounds positive right?

    I'm wondering if I should spice things up a bit, add in "learn the ancient art of ninjitsu" or "GNVQ wicker basket making"

    My version of spicing things up is the same every year "Win the lottery, retire and construct my own suit of Iron Man armour"

    To achieve a cert in programming...most likely the 70-480 My main goal is to generally learn more web and app development... by 2014 I want to have a few websites and apps made and be possibly ready to become freelance or get a junior position... but basically I want to build a few things and get my career on the go. Will take alot of hardwork but Im ready... good luck to all

    I was on track for all my 2013 goals until the half-way point in July, when I decided to prioritise a work experience placement alongside certification goals. As a result, things have been moved around on my list. 2014 targets provisionally look like, but are subject to change:

    1. Continue in the IT role for another 6 months
    2. Complete the college CCNA Exploration course
    3. Attain these certifications:
      • Network+
      • MCSA Windows 7
      • CCNA Routing & Switching

    As mentioned previously, something had to give, and in this case it was MCTS Active Directory Configuration en route to the MCSA Server 2008. I'm thinking it may be wiser to start on the MCSA Server 2012 version late next year after the above goals are in the bag, expecially as the single exam MCTS qualification looks like it won't be awarded for any exams after January 2014.

    Go on... There's bound to be a ninpo/ninjitsu class around your area :)

    Wow, full on... Looks like no break for the wicked ;)

    The fact that he's had to put "take a vacation" as a goal sums up Pheo nicely!

    It'd be nice to declare some goals and actually complete them all within the allotted 1 year time frame for a change

    Start and complete MCSA: Server 08
    Be debt free on my wedding day
    Just generally have more "quality"/focused time rather than aimless, wasted time, drifting for hours on social networking sites and browsing Netflix for anything to watch

    IT Cert Goals 2014 onwards

    Finish MCSA 2008 (unless I miraculously pass on the 27th)
    CCNA (again)
    Then see how I go with the following go
    410,411,412 (Server 2012 MCSA)
    70-243 SCCM 2012 Exam

    Oh yeah, need to attempt the 74-409 before June 2014 lol

    That's enough at 7 so will consider next ones after 412 :)
