Just started doing some advertising work for a new client that's in the tech space. 2 weeks in, and we're already beating their campaign goals by 25%+ Feels really good when we find a client we click with and we're able to iterate quickly and get their marketing firing on all gears sooner rather than later.

#82Good luck with learning Ruby On Rails. I'm actually following the same path. Here are some of my "achivements" for Jan 2015:
* With my spanish knowledge I started to give some courses to help people "hablar español". Funny experience.
* I finally decided of which language I'll learn in 2015: Chinese. I though Japanese I'll be cool as well, but I heard Chinese seems easier for beginners... huehue
* I'm actually keeping learning Ruby On Rails with a really intense learning flow. Which helps me acquire some sort of "coding discipline".
* No more cigarettes. Really proud, really.
PS: If you found some grammar errors, I should apologize. Unfortunately, my native language isn't english.

#83* I've managed to move my blog from Wordpress to my GitHub pages powered domain: http://r3bl.github.io/
* I've managed to read five books in the first ten days of January! My goal is to read at least one book a month in 2015.
* I've managed to lower my cigarette addiction. Now I am fully able to control myself. If I smoke more cigarettes in a day than I think I should, I can pause a couple of days without smoking a single cigarette without any problems. I feel great managing to control just how much I smoke considering that I don't have the desire needed to quit smoking completely.
* I've found my passion once again. Not a day has passed without me learning something new. I'm actually trying to build my habit: http://r3bl.github.io/en/learn-something-every-day/
* I've completely open sourced everything I do on my GitHub. My notes, my portfolio, my journal, my blog... Everything is up on GitHub and I'm currently in a 14 days streak. I will try to continue at least to 50.
* I've managed to write an article worthy of being published on Opensource.com. It is going to be published by the end of February.

#84Got serious about building a team to help me launch my travel startup - http://gateC21.com ! I have a few writers, a copy writer and a branding guy working on making it great! The ball is rolling really fast now!
Other small wins. -Started to read more again (leisure). -Played with stuff I've had on my list (jasminJS and phantomJS) - They are awesome!

#85I found an OpenSSL bug which was assigned CVE-2015-0208 (details forthcoming). I feel like that is a good achievement. Follows on the heels of the PHP5 bug I found in December(CVE-2014-9427).

#87Built a 100% automated site that lists the best prices and details for all top level domains: http://tld-list.com
Pretty cool, well done!
What all is automated? Price querying / updating?
I didn't check, are you monetizing with affiliate links?

#88Started intermittent fasting after a break of two years, My cycle is once every 3 days, no food for 40 hours.
Decided to build http://expertinamonth.com to teach people to code better.
I will be launching the first set of courses in a month or so. I am looking for course suggestions, so let me know what interests you

#89Started learning ReactJS by trying to implement a very simple vim interface. This is my first side project where I've actually gotten somewhere with implementing basic functionality and then committed it to github. The project isn't close to being done (read: I'm kinda aware that it doesn't work ideally), but my goal is to commit code once a week.

#90Like a few other people in the comments here I started a 12 things in 12 months, where I will complete one different project each month.
January's project was http://finishonethingtoday.com, it managed to hit the top of HN for a few hours and got a lot of attention and continues to bring in visitors and has opened up a few new areas for potential projects in the future :)
