I don't really do resolutions for the new year. I would much rather continuously improve myself, my relationships, and my home network architecture.
My setup is Ok currently, but there are some issues and definitely areas of improvement:
Permissions
I really need to improve my permissions management. I know it's a bad idea to set everything to chmod 777, but any other permission level causes cron, or even manually copying files to fail. SyncMe also has weird issues. If I restart a backup job a few times it will keep failing, then at random, succeed. So I need to work that out.

Backup / Archival
Similar to my permissions issue, I need to improve my overall backup and archival system. I need to get all my boxes (and phone) properly cron'ing. And ensure I am backing up vs mirroring etc as I would like to.

Reinstallation
Currently rebuilding isn't terribly painful but I think I will try to make the process even more automated. I have a basic shell script for all the apt installs, but there are some aliases and a couple other shell scripts I create and those are currently done manually. My goal will be a single script, kick it off and when it's done everything is as it should be. This will be a great chance to learn more about shell commands etc.

Information Farming
I would also like to start scouring for better information. Social media is dumb so I would like to build an automated information gathering solution. Even if it is a carefully crafted RSS feed, or strictly defined Twitter feed, or any number of other sources. Then every moring I can pour a bowl of cereal and fill my belly as I fill my brain.

I'm sure there will be more but that should keep me busy for a while.
