Re: Confessions

Oh, no wonder. Object-oriented requires a good understanding of procedural programming, and C++ syntax is no fun, especially for beginners. What kind of SQL, out of curiosity? We used SQLite 3 in DB-I because it's simple and easy to deploy (and cross-platform) and MS SQL Server in DB-II. What kind o...

Re: The Legend of Zelda

Don't bother taking a photograph during the fight, you can do it after it's over.

Don't stray too much from the centre of the room so you don't get pushed into the electrified pits.

If you're out of arrows, it'll sneeze some at you.

It's always a good idea to have Flash objects disabled until you click on them anyways. Non-idiotic browsers have a setting for that nowadays and the others have extensions. If not for security, it still improves battery life and overall performance and avoids annoying auto-playing ads and other crap.

Re: Things that make you sad.

What the fuck did I do to make my parents hate me, or least completely disregard my feelings about anything? At this point I don't think it has anything to do with you. Even if I become proficient at writing sql code, I don't think I'll ever enjoy it. There must be people who like writing it, but I...

Re: Confessions

Sometimes I wonder if I'm in over my head with programming. I grasp the concepts well enough and I eventually get my code working, but it's hard to learn all the little details. Everything is connected and if I don't learn one thing well, it effects everything else. What's your current experience? ...

I just had to cover my old shift at work and now I remember why I was rustled all the time last year.

Re: Things that Mildly Annoy You

And then I closed the store with my car keys inside. I truly am unfit for the real world.

On the plus side, I saw two bats while walking back home.

Sexy Back and Blurred Lines just played on the radio with no warning or time to recover between them.
