Travel around the world! I'm leaving the 4th of January for India before going to South East Asia, Oceania and South America. I'm blogging about it: http://travelingcoder.com.
I also plan to work on personal projects on the way.

#42I want to create an arsenal of cool html5 games and hardware hacks. By the end of the year, I expect myself to become close to an expert in both those fields :P

#43Work: decide on a new main programming language to switch to (from Perl) so we can actually hire more developers ...
Personal: move to a new flat (8 years were enough for the current one, I need new surroundings), stop eating sugar, grains and legumes (paleo-inspired diet), perhaps move to a country that isn't passive-smoking hell like Austria.

#46Never really been a fan of new year resolutions, but a few that really are down to accidental timing... - Stay off cigarettes (quit a month ago and going fine) - Stop using cocaine (this happens to be the week I've realised that I'm close to being addicted - hell, I'm high right now) - Start writing some sort of novel, something I've wanted to do for a few years (edit: Sorry for the throwaway account, don't really wa…
any longterm effects that you see?

on your cocaine addiction, if you have used it for a long time(i don't know how much is long), do you see any longterm effects? (example: some people who smoke weed say they are more chill(when not high) then before they used to smoke)

Until fairly recently I didn't use it often, and no, I haven't noticed any real changes in myself (other than when on it).
I've smoked weed for a much longer time - though not much lately, and never a full-time stoner, just relaxing with friends now and then - and while I don't think that's really changed me either, it does feel like it has a greater ability to, because getting stoned is about relaxing and thinking, it's a state of mind you can go to when sober, and certainly I know a couple of people who are always smoking it and their normal personality certainly seems to have merged with their stoned personality.
Long-term changes aren't what's making me stop, it's the worry that if I keep going much longer I'll spiral out of control, which definitely isn't good for my bank balance and has a decent chance of not being good from a safety point of view, either.
