    This means you were not working this year. Good step to get ahead. Carry on

      Loose weight and get fitter,

      Why does everyone want loose weights? I thought free weights had been made obsolete by exercise machines. ;)

      This last year I've been totally lazy, and I've been eating loads. Put on about a stone and a half... :( I'm now officially a fat git... :omg:

      oooo, the Jedi's will feel this one....

        Well, you never know. Highly doubtful I'll achieve any of them in reality.

          may be these can fall under resolutions, I am not sure though. I think these are all your wishes. What about "resolutions" ?

          I resolve to do well in my final exams for 6th form. I resolve to clear up what's going to happen in my life after they're done I resolve to do my best to get a job. I resolve to make the next year as good as this one. It's just a matter of chopping and changing the sentences to give it an active voice.

            I thought when I would visit the Lounge around the 31st Dec, I would be able to see some new year resolutions being posted here. To my surprise there are none. So lets start now. What are your resolutions for this new year. I will post mine - Loose weight. Sounds funny, but its true. Software development job (sitting job without no movement / physical activities) can help you gain weight quickly ! Your thoughts are welcome !!!! [Edit] : Forgot to wish all CPians and there families a very happy and prosperous new year ! May your coding skills sharpen this year and we see a rise in world economy again.

            I do not make resolutions as I will not keep them, so why bother. I am 50+ pounds overweight and counting. I really need to start exercising but no resolution.

                          Everyone seems to get that wrong these days. Oh, and being a fat git is not as bad as everyone makes out. It's a sign of a good life. That's what we need, more fat people.

                              I will try to not do better than Chuck Norris in anything. ;P Seriously, no resolutions. And a Happy New Year to everyone.

                                I'll join you on this one... Loose weight and get fitter, code more, and get into electronics. I'd like to get into robotics within the next few years. :-D I'd like to try to start my own business in the new year. Not really a resolution, but it's certainly a significant change in my life... :-D

                                oooo, the Jedi's will feel this one....

                                      Wow, thanks dude. I have no qualifications at the moment, but once I have a bit of money (and hopefully the spare time) I'd like to get some. A colony of robotic bees would be cool. Expecially if you could get them to actually fly. Bonus points if you can get them to sting your foes... Although you risk hurting them doing that. I was thinking about remote controlled and fully automated vehicles for fun. Here's a project for you... A small car with AI to make it behave like an insect? Get a few together, and make them aware of each other... That would me great. Completely impractical, but if money was no object... :-D

                                      oooo, the Jedi's will feel this one....

                                        Yeah this was a project by IBM and MIT. It took the power of a super computer to make them learn how to 'interact' I don't have that kind of money, but there is always the Nvidia Tesla desk top supercomputer. I do plan on getting one soon. Mobile phones make great robot brains and if they have wi-fi it makes it really fun. Have you looked at the Microsoft Robotics package? You can design the intelligence with out having the real robot. It also works with Lego Robotics if money is an option.

                                          That is some serious kit. I want one. :-D

                                          How would you go about implementing this? Do you have to reprogram the phone? I'm after getting the MS Robotics software as soon as I can either afford it, or get a friend to get it for me through their companies MSDN subscription. This particular friend has a memory like a gold fish. I have looked at the Lego Mindstorm stuff, and it looks pretty nifty. I just can't justify the cost as yet. It is on the cards though. The only thing about the Mindstorm robotics stuff (from what I can tell) is it is very limited when it comes to controlling multiple sensors/servo's. Do you do much with electronics now you have finished your degree?

                                          oooo, the Jedi's will feel this one....
