year.stop(); year = Year(2009); year.start();

A few hours and this year will be over. Instead of making a summary of 2008, I feel the need to list a few of my goals for 2009:

• Finally complete the building of our house;
• Buy a piano and start again playing it, I really miss it;
• Buy a carom billiard, I really miss it;
  
• Run the Turin Marathon 2009 in spring (my first marathon ever);
  
• Run the Budapest Marathon 2009 in autumn (plus: in less than 3.5 hours);
• Launch ZeNEM.hu and OXA (two business projects of mine);
• Further develop our database marketing company in Hungary, and make it grow;
  
• Start practicing a martial art for self-defense;
• Start the training for my PPL (plus: complete it in 2009);
  
• Travel across Spain (and attend to the DebConf in Extremadura);
• Teach Greta and Sophia to swim;
• Deploy SATISFLY to the launch customer;
• Buy a new car for my wife;
  

This list is not exhaustive, but writing down these items helps me. After a so-so 2008, I'm looking forward for a new exciting year: I feel very motivated and I'm sure that 2009 will be positive and rich of satisfactions.

Happy New Year to everybody, may the Force be with you.
