What am I working on?

I've got quite a few projects on the go at the moment:

1. Learn Chinese - Had started learning Mandarin about 2 years ago after a work trip to Shanghai but ended up with very little time to work on it so I decided to start back again. Trying to spend half an hour each night on it - mainly listening and speaking (using Pinyin most of the time). I'm also trying to learn how to read and write it by putting short phrases on post-it notes and sticking them on my desk at work.

2. Playing guitar - Trying to learn and record each of the songs I have the Music for. Might even add some recordings to the blog.

3. Writing a 2D point-click style computer game - Hoping to work with David on this. He will come up with the story line and I'll write the code to build it.

4. Writing an Operating System - I decided that if I want to learn more about low level programming I should try writing a research OS. I have some of the basics in place but I'd really like to build in the .NET framework at quite a low level so that drivers and modules of the OS can be written in C#.

5. Learning about Neural Networks and Genetic programming.

I'm hoping to post a little more about each of them soon.
