Yes, indeed, you are correct.

Chris Elston? His profile seems to be deleted, did I miss anything?
Oh, and by the way: Hereafter I am happy to get my well-deserved holidays, to finish final project #2 - Not that much free time for me - I won^t be here for a while, see you later next year.
Happy Holidays[^]

I said it to the colleagues when I left the office this afternoon.
I hope there will be enjoyement, but I doubt that there will be much to enjoy - I picked kind of a hard topic, maybe gonna make it an article when I find the time to translate ~100 pages to english.
Oh, and diagrams. Tons of class, sequence and use case diagrams.

I remember when I was young my aunt and uncle who helped raise me showed me one of her screw magazines. He must have been very young when he started.

Sir Pete's post gave this idea.
1. Become sincere. I have really become lazy. I spent good amount of time learning things a couple of years back and then thought as if I have conquered the World. Looking at my condition now, I stand no where. So get sincere. Not just with programming but with almost everything.
2. Save money. I have zero savings after close to 8 years of work. I have become insanely spendthrift.
3. Get fit. Thanks to Ingress[^] I have walked 90 KM in past 2 months. Other than that, nothing. Not those crazy muscle things but fit.
4. Learn to become politically correct/diplomatic (read lie and cheat). I don't want this but seems this is the in thing. It was and it always will. I am more than certain I will fail here.

I thinking about having another crack at Haskel. Or Scheme. I keep starting, re-covering the basics, then stopping. It's a bit like starting off with algerabra: I can see how it could be extremely powerful & interesting but not being capable of it yet. I need to think of a project that'll make use of it.

I started off with PHP, Ruby, Perl, Python. jQuery, Rails, HTML5, WPF and good old C++ last year. Spent a day and then forgot everything.

I failed at last year's New Year's resolutions but I am going to go with the same ones again this year.
1. Eat whatever I want, whenever I want.
2. Gain 20 pounds.
3. Learn a new computer language (computer or otherwise).
Where I failed:
1. There were numerous times when I withheld and either ate something healthy or didn't eat something unhealthy. FAIL!
2. Weight went up and down and up; net result: about 2 pounds lighter than last year. FAIL!
3. I got a little more skilled at java and learned a bit of Mandarin Chinese (not enough to be useful). PARTIAL!

Do you have a dog?
Humans always have multiple motivations for their actions. No action from a single motivation. A dog would help with walking, and it gives you a very basic level of being fit. Then again, you might want to climb beyond merely 'bit fit' and get 'good fit'.

Decades ago I resolved to put more things off. Since I haven't got around to making anymore resolutions since then, I consider myself 100% successful in fulfilling resolutions.
