I too have known people like you describe here and can say that it is more likely that they began habitually smoking marijuana because of some latent psychological conditions - and not that they formed these conditions as a result. Sure, ma

Called CompTIA today - at first they said I was mistaken... Then I sent links to my flickr account and to the various tech/certification sites making the "maybe they should increase their Security+" crack. I was called back this afternoon

Thanks for the pointers... Yea, I have recently acquired a rough understanding of Python and am picking up Django at the moment to hopefully increase my marketability and show my ability to pick new skills...

I recently got my A+ certification so that I can nab a job to hold me over until I can get a programming gig (no one wants to hire a CS major for tech work and no one wants a programmer with 'no' experience). I headed to CompTIA's website

Well, I am far from an authority or expert, but really all it takes is getting a half decent camera with a hand full of manual settings, a half decent tripod and start clicking. Click a lot. Luckily with a digital camera and a 2GB memory

Birmingham, Alabama - there are always positions open, but they want 'senior' developers. About as far as I have gotten concerning these jobs is attempting to sell myself as a quick learner willing to work from the bottom up, but it seems t

Typically, for a recent CS graduate they get equated in the initial search for a job - put CS, put IT, put 6, put 'half a dozen'... in the end, when seeking that first job that gives you your experience that all the "good" jobs require, the

Well, quantum is applicable - or at least becoming so. A.I. is another one that springs to mind - not to mention robotics. Everyone loves robots.

Good job Mr. Gates. C/o 2008 and already getting 60K offers from 75% of your applications. You are a fortunate fellow. Unfortunately the tech jobs here in the southeast U.S. (Alabama to be specific) aren't so hot - avg <40k starting.

Yea, I am going to spend this 'down time' honing my skills as a hacker and see what happens from there. As the old adage goes "the proof is in the pudding" and I currently don't have much in the way of 'pudding' to show prospective employe

Ha! Thanks. Yea, I know what you are saying, and I am sure that something will come along. I am taking my A+ next week because every 'network engineer' position that I have applied for requires it - they do not, however, require a CS deg

I wish I had declined my CS education. I, a recent CS graduate (Bachelor of Science in Computer Science), have come to the conclusion that a)my education equals squat to potential employers (and that a hand full of $300 certifications woul

It definitely indicates a design deficiency when one (myself included) prefers PDF over the default service provided via Scribd.

I know what book I am taking for my week away next week: The Ultimate HitchHiker's Guide - 5 complete novels and 1 story. This is an awesome group of stories that are really fun to read. If you haven't read them at least once or have onl

Although I did find the joke funny the 1st time I read it, I too was kind of curious about the 'first page merit' on this one... Also, and on a related note, I have noticed that the front page content has somewhat changed over the previous

There is much to be said for exercise, but I still experience significant brain-drain and sluggish performance despite working out 7 days a week(weights 4 days, running 3). Perhaps the combination of physical activity, diet and additional

Once they secure their position, I wonder if MS will start imposing comparable constraints to the future OLPCs (which they should have never been allowed to put their grubby hands on)? Also, I wonder who in the world their PR dude is and if

I second that. Been using 1and1 for about 3 years now and have no complaints. They have good prices and their configuration interface is well designed and intuitive.

Oh, the days of a good tribbs board and L.O.R.D. I frequented the Vagabond's Oasis and Galaxy BBS here in the Alabama, US. Also, I ran a small friend/family bbs, The Dismal Light, after 11:00pm on my families second line. I kinda miss the d

Nice job man. The whole process from the user's end is about as simple and painless as it can get - something that, if done poorly, will kill a site quicker then anything. Nice concept and seemingly small/few bugs/issues for a just launch

Thanks Boyd, I have checked out the design patterns head first book and it was incredibly intuitive and even entertaining to read. I have obtained a couple more since, I just have yet to wade through them as of yet... I am going to stop pr

"That's my two cents" And I thank you greatly for them as I, myself, only have about 1/2 a cent right now :) I am seeing a lot of reoccuring themes there - notably version control, egos, teams and testing, and from this I know where I need

I think that it has been hardest for me to find a mentor or even people in similar situations as a result of my education being primarily online for the last year - a decision I really regret making now. My wife took an accounting job in a

I have done this on a limited basis, but everyone wants me to start now and wants to pay me crap. I understand that I will have to start lower because of my lack of experience, but on the other hand, I didn't go to school (and pay for scho

I pride myself on my interpersonal skills - I just think it is easier and more productive to be friendly (or at least amicable). Hopefully I can carry this with me into the development arena as you suggest, though I don't think it will be

Thanks wehriam, Of all of the things that I am 'sure of' as a result of my education, my ability to learn something foreign would have to be it. I remember my first C class - swearing that there was no way this voodoo magic could ever make

"'If you can hack, you'll do fine." Thats what I am hoping for. It can just become overwhelming for a young-buck (such as myself) when seeing all these frameworks and libraries and trying to figure out which ones my future employer will wa
