Its rare for a developer to talk about their weaknesses on the internet. It can damage their next job opportunity. However, fuck that, here is what I need to improve upon as I suck in these areas.

1. Regular expressions
   Its a fucking travesty that I don't know regex inside out. I get by, but I'm no super hero.
2. Python
   Never dabbled with it. I have moved from java to php and now Ruby (with a spattering of others in between). Python is one of those languages that looks awesome and enjoyable to arse around with.
3. SQL advancement
   Many people boast that they know SQL. I could state that I do. However I feel that I should know more advanced SQL, looking at streamlining my code much more.
4. C
   I, for my sins never learned C at university. I did history instead. *puffs on an invisible pipe*
5. Some Microsoft pap
   I have never learned VB, nor Basic nor ASP. I don't know the suited "certified" world of Microsoft. This is wrong, I should at least try and use it, it can't all be bad.
6. CSS
   I sodding hate IE 6. I should learn some CSS techniques that prevent me from foaming at the mouth and swearing at Bill Gates.
7. Java web systems
   A mystery to me, although I understand its awesome power and "enterprise" deployment worth.
8. Flash
   Flash is awesome at some things. Notably video delivery. I should play more with that.
9. Growing hair
   Unix == Beard
   Flash == Ponytail
   Fortran == Sideburns
   Ada == That weird hair that comes out of your ears when you are old
10. Realise that you shouldn't do all of this list and specialise a little ....
