I wish I had a lot more knowledge on web design. Used to code HTML 4 pages by hand back in the day, but had to stop designing for several years. Now I'm way behind :disgust:

I'm very slowly, sluggishly learning C++. Someday I will be a master hacker, loved by most, feared by the rest. That day is not in the near future however...

I wish I knew more graphics programming like DirectX so I could get into the gaming industry. The ecommerce industry SUCKS

I self-taught Turbo C, Fortran, Pascal, Basic (many forms including GWBasic, Q-Basic, Quick Basic, and Visual Basic), and very little assembly. Unfortunatly by teaching myself, I'm missing quite a lot of programming skills (and I'm positive everything I program is very inefficient, doesn't follow any of the typical formatting, etc.). Everything I program takes 10 times as long as it should to get the program running properly. So I wish I had the skills of a real computer programmer.

Well I already know programming and database stuff. My last biggest hurdle is learning how to design icons and graphics.

'tronics engineering. whenever i try to hack a furby or make a mercedes-benz out of an x-box, i always get lost in the electronics parts, mainly printed circuitry schematics. it gets me all excited anyways though. like pictures in a book.
