Here are my 2009 tech based new years resolutions.

1. Play more with social media. Dip into Twitter a couple of times a day, try to blog once a week and keep an eye on the web 2.0 (3.0!?) news sites – Having said that I’m still not sure I ‘get’ Twitter but hundreds of thousands of people can’t be wrong (surely?), I’m willing to give it another go and have added a bunch of new people.
2. Learn PowerShell properly, stop falling back on VBScript or horror of horrors batch files.
3. Get certified in Windows 2008 and associated technologies (possibly SQL Server 2008 and MOSS).
4. Learn C#, stop hacking about with other peoples code and write some of my own. Focus on SharePoint development.
5. Play more Computer Games. Last year I played maybe 2 hours a week of PES and dabbled with various first person shooters. I got Far Cry 2 for Christmas and played though about 65%, I’ll try to play it till the end and not get distracted like I did with Bioshock, Gears of War and Stalker. I’ve completed Crysis and Crysis Warhead but they don’t count as they’re so much better than any game I’ve played since Half-life 2.
6. Don’t forget Linux and Open Source – Just because I work for a Microsoft Gold Partner doesn’t mean I should forget five plus years of *nix skills.
7. Revist this list in twelve months time and dispair at how few have been achieved
