UML, test-driven development

I'd also like to learn how to play the saxaphone and dance, but neither is very likely to happen anytime soon.

How to be a good salesman.  I'm rather hopeless right now, and my bottom line shows it.

Driving, specification & design using Z notation, improving my database skills, getting a working knowledge of a dialect of Low German that was spoken in my family, better knowledge of Georgist economics, also it's high time I had a look at that UML book...

Not much technically, as I find that better technical skills grow out of better life skills.

I want to be exercising regularly, including weight training.

I want to be reasonably conversant in another language (Japanese).

I want to be doing the Extreme Programming core practices regularly.

I want to learn how to read schemas.  And maybe be able to write "proper" UML when i'm diagraming stuff on our whiteboard, not just a combination of UML and funny shapes I invent.

I will  be sensible.
I want to learn Visual .Net, well the concepts and learn the C# language.

As well as I intend to do my best to stay on top of what is happening in the IT world. I spent too long through university with my head in the books to even care about anything, now I find myself asking "what is .Net" when others are already speaking the language.

yes, this "enlarging the debt and cutting the .... " would be nice. Or should it be vice versa?

I'd love to re-unite with my girlfriend, stop learning and start doing megabucks.
