My dreams

It's not as hard for me to think about what my dreams are. It's actually fairly present in my awareness. Languages. I can get obsessive about learning new things. In fact, I'm pretty certain that much of the work I've done with computers has to do with this love of learning syntax etc. So, push come to shove, I would say that learning languages is a passion of mine. I've always known this, I guess I just had to say it out loud.

Another things that I still could be fun is making interactive applications - thinking back to the map exhibition I saw in Potsdammer Platz. I don't know if I'll be any good at it, but with the job starting in London I'll get paid to learn about ActionScript and Flex, whilst earning a salary doing what I do best, ColdFusion.

This is an utterly fantastic position to be in. A realisation though - it's sometimes not a case of not knowing what to do next: more often than not it can be a case of not knowing how to take the next steps, or being lazy and not following through, or just simply settling into old habits and not recognising that dreams should be followed. I have to deal with all three of these issues.
