And your assumption that socializing isn't fun or interesting...

btw - Cheap Travel is just that... I spent 6 weeks in Scotland for <$1k including airfare. As a student, you are used to skipping meals, sleeping on couches and sharing a room in Hostels. When you get older, those things are all out and

to be blunt... Pull your head out of your ass. The world works as a social organization. You don't have to sacrifice beliefs, but you do have to actually socialize. And yes, that does mean going to parties and learning how they work just li

Drinking <> Socializing If you learn nothing else, learn that. It is perfectly possible to go to a kegger and drink water all night and still have a good time meeting interesting people and talking to them about interesting things.

Yeah! Finally an excuse to do something interesting at work instead of at home.

I recommend finding a mentor. Someone who writes code that you respect (be it for quality, clarity or efficiency). Start reading their code and asking questions. The open source community is a good place to start looking if you don't have

It would be great to have this kind of historic information on all consumer electronics. It's nice to buy a fridge on the cheap because it's last year's model.

Rob Cross has a nice book on Social Network Analysis. Google Social Network Analysis to get a quick over view of the field and the relevant open questions.

Living in NM, the rural areas are really poor (Income ~25% less than urban), mostly agriculture (big trucks), and long distances to travel to get to gas stations. Combine that with all the young kids moving away (free lottery scholarships)

wow. I wrote that same passage down, and this one: "There is an expiration date for blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction."

Facebook is an older crowd of mostly college graduates. Thus higher income and more desirable to marketers. They do a good job of helping you find friends of a friend and reconnect with high school and college friends. Games like scrabolo

I believe the word you are searching for is Clit Mouse. Only Lenovo (Think Pad) and Dell (D620?) have them.

Consider attending a political event. You'll be surrounded by only the socially adept who will all be forced to at least talk to you momentarily. Watch as they work a room. A relatively cheap donation will get you invited. Consider it a

For debugging it's amazingly effective. Even simple coding comes out amazingly bug free when you have a second set of eyes watching as you go. I second that it is intense. I accomplish much more than I would by myself, but I always feel

Really hot computers are a thing of the past. The new Intel chips run cool and low watt. Check out the Air for example. No more burned testicles!

alright, I figured it out. Set up a gmail account for the barber. Set up a standard email request on his site. They click the button sending him the request. gmail is smart enough to recognize key words (like event) and tag them. Right clic

Getting closer to an answer http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=... Looks like I can invite anyone, but still not sure if anyone can invite the google calendar.

Thanks for the quick summary and the link. These are too complex for the need. I could hack one down to the right size, but I'd rather not be in the barber support business.

thanks for the thoughts. Does anyone know if Google Calendar supports invites from other systems? Outlook for instance. Lots of lawyers with black berries as clients, but few tech savy ones.

In my experience, business users get frustrated trying to explain all the ways their business works to programmers. Having to define the problem for programmers is the key. If they can do it themselves, they don't have to make you understan

This is already occurring. I work at a large engineering company. The engineers, even those with no coding experience, are writing one off scripts to solve problems and then throwing them away. Some write 10-15 scripts a day. All of whi
