New Year!

The year 2007 saw me: get my first employment (and hence the first salary), buy something with my own money, get a twitter account, create my website, make a bunch of new friends (not just in DA-IICT), develop Mac software (IPMessenger, Shakespeer, SnailMail Widget and more recently cyberoam client), have fun leading a team, write two (yet unpublished) papers, submit my first bug reports, get to know a near perfect woman (better than before anyway), start open source projects (BioTexPy, Winshortcut), explore music like never before, buy good headphones, see great TV series (Frasier, Seinfeld, House), learn new languages (Ruby, Objective C, Haskell, Prolog, Erlang) and a lot of little things that made a silent impact.

Surprisingly, I did not predict even one of them happening last year! Now I know that my predictions suck (they have neither precision nor recall) and hence I refuse to venture any predictions about 2008. Except this: 2008 will bring more surprises than 2007 or any other year yet.

Happy new year all of you.
