I thought we'd enjoy a bit of reminiscing of the past year and

about our plans for the future, whether it's something personal

D-related that anyone is willing to publicly talk about. It
should be
a fun topic, or so I hope! :) So let me begin..
Well this is a hard one.
I lost a great girlfriend (not unforeseeable, she's Japanese (I'm
not)). Interviews didn't end in a job offer. And I was the Best
Man at my friends wedding (oh, wait, I think that was a good
thing).
I continue to start projects which I know I'll probably not
finish, and only gradually improving the others I've started.
It isn't all bad, I did start blogging about my adventures (I
still need to get use to telling people what I'm doing, now that
I'm on Planet D I'm scared to tag something D that may only
vaguely relate). In general things are good, just nothing big to
point to.
2014
I'm looking at submitting a talk about LuaD. I know I can do a
good job, I just need to dedicate time to it instead of reading
reddit, playing games, and watching movies (obviously D
newsgroups get to stay).
My new project manager is actually willing to put my programming
knowledge to use. Though it sounds like I'll have to do some
translation from D to C#. There is quit a bit of opportunity here.
Along with LuaD stuff I hope to get more teaching material
written for D. I think I'll have to re-evaluate my choice to only
make useful examples and at least start with examples which
demonstrate an idea.
I'm also highly considering making it out to Dconf2014. I don't
usually like spending lots of money, but I no longer expect to be
flying out to Japan and this should be totally worth it.
