Happy new year to all the four readers of this kender blog :)
I’m really happy that 2015 is gone, for me it was a really hard year, too much stress at work, to much time spent on stupid things and sadly to many people passed, relatives and people I really loved.

I think it’s a good habit to think at new goals for the new year, so that’s my list.

1. Get rid of old OS’s
   At work and customers It’s plenty of old, really old systems based on Rhel 3, Rhel 4, Windows 2000 (yep, you read right, Windows 2000), Windows 2003.
   We always talk and plan to replace them with new OS’s but those activities always fall in the end of the to-do list, we got to move forward.
2. Get an Oracle dbms certification
   It’s years I’m planning to get this damn OCA certification, this is the year I got to absolutely do this!!
3. Move systems to virtualize environment
   I have too many systems and services running on old hardware, IBM xSeries 3xx, old DS4300 storage SAN and many other, I need to virtualize and get rid of these old machines.
4. Push the KISS model
   Developers and commercials always try to push for more features and more complex environments, I have to push more and more for simple services and get rid of ridiculous complex services.
   If a web application can run an a simple and scalable Tomcat why you have to deploy it on that huge, complex and useless WebSphere Uber Application server cluster?
5. Get a motocycle license
   Yes, It’s an old story and I reapeat it every year :)
6. Swim
   I already have a swimming pool subscription in my hands (perhaps the most useful Christmas gift I ever had), It’s time to move my ass and start swimming.
   In past when I did it frequently I felt much better, much less stressed, my blood pressure problems vanished, no more headaches, all seemed better, so why don’t start again?
7. Get a second Eve account
   I know that’s the less importart, but after a year of Eve experience I feel I’m ready for a second Eve account, my income from planetary interaction can cover a monthly plex so I think it’s the time to make this step.Maybe a Jumpfreighter pilot? :)
