Setting a goal date seemed like a good, motivating tactic way back when, but I have since completely neglected the diet. And the exercise.

The result is that, unless I manage to lose between seven and eight pounds per day for the next six days, this goal simply isn’t going to happen. And frankly, I don’t think that kind of weight loss is healthy. Or physically possible.

I will have to set myself a new date.

They just applied one of my patches:

Hurrah!

I am now playing piano regularly in a jazz swing band, so for now I consider this goal completed. But it’s one of these ongoing goals, really. For instance, I’d like to do some more classical music as well. But it turns out that real life is much busier than school or college…

I’ve submitted my first patch to Rails (it fixes some potentially destructive behaviour in ActiveRecord), but I’m waiting for it to be acknowledged and included by the busy core team before I’ll consider myself as having truly contributed to the project.
