>I agree. I use a system where I group languages/software/tools into categories based on the level of my knowledge. I'm often tempted to "bump" some up a level, but I don't or I'll find myself unable to field the technical portion. Challenging myself is one thing, lying is another.

I follow pretty much the same mechanism, as I have quite a few under my belt, but I don't categorize them. I just list mine in order of my "comfort zone" for working with them.
