Pies in the sky
Here’s my list of short-term goals. Because my long term goal is to someday be a computer scientist. Or a millionaire-astronaut-cowgirl. And both of those goals are just too vague. Short-term goals = attainable. Although it should be noted that some items in this list can probably be classified as ‘medium’ or even ‘long-ish’ term goals.
- customize Emacs for Python (done, to some extent)
- write Python code to solve my sound speed issues (will probably never be complete)
- get Numpy, Scipy, and Matplotlib installed (done) and working for me (partially done)
- Read Learning Python 4th edition (that’s no small feat – over 1000 pages of Python goodness)
- Bike 100 miles in one day
- Visit the Philippines
- Run a marathon
- Research underwater volcanoes
- Publish a paper in a scientific journal
- Read an S7K multibeam sonar file using Python (started – yes!)
- Learn to make Python GUI’s that I could give to other people (for example, ray trace showing effect of sound speed on bathymetry)
- Write my own bottom detection algorithm
- Learn R
- Write my own Kalman filter (Val – I’ll be coming to you for help with this!)
- Learn to play guitar
- Get a PhD! (?!)
