This was my second computer, I had a Compaq Presario Pentium 75 mhz that ran Win 95 and later 98 SE. The laptop in question was a hand-me-down from the neighbor and it had a white-black screen so instead of it being a black screen with whit

Honestly excited about this, I am one of those people that really love PHP from the old days and I still use it from time to time to build small web apps and api's. I don't get the hate that PHP usually gets, I've always kind

Slackware was one of my first Linux distros, installed on a 286 laptop with 2mb of ram. We had to trick the installer that we had 4mb or else it wouldn't install. Good times. That's where I learned Perl. Edit: It was probably a 38

I like project based learning but there are a lot of terrible projects out there and a lot of them are never finished. I see especially tutorial series that are based on projects are almost always one or two articles shorter than it needs t

I'm not in SF, or even inte US - but the view I get from the internet reading stories, posts and comments is that only people in the NIMBY community really gets to voice their opinions in SF.
