Calax Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 First day of work. Feet hurt. Signed up for classes next semesters. Realized that I may have to transfer schools for the particular history program that I desire (one focused more on asia/japan and has a japanese language program). That'll suck, but I'll just say screw it and pay the out of state tuition (most likely). Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Syraxis Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Java..hissssssss. Must be my C-nazi coworkers influencing me. :D C might be the next one I learn; got any book recommendations?
Malcador Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Java..hissssssss. Must be my C-nazi coworkers influencing me. :D C might be the next one I learn; got any book recommendations? How can you learn C AFTER any language ? Hehe. Read the White Book - http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language...n/dp/0131103628 Or just hit up any tutorials on it. I had a boring day, so deciding to do some C exercises to make myself feel stupid. Why has elegance found so little following?

Nightshape Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Java..hissssssss. Must be my C-nazi coworkers influencing me. :D C might be the next one I learn; got any book recommendations? If you're starting out in C/C++ give C++ a go. I found it to be quite good, and I was particularly impressed with how it covered concepts like pointers. Once you've got the language down, C++ for games programmers is a very good book. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
Orogun01 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Last week I began my first C++ programming class (what a coinkidink) this is the book we are going to use http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159200205...8-1&seller= I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Enoch Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 My game of Civ V wasn't really grabbing me, so now I'm doing some PC-maintenance chores, like deleting files I don't need out of my default downloads folder.

Walsingham Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Guard yer liver safe till then. In the nicest possible way: no. Can I keep your head in a jar when you crock it then? By all means. EDIT: Had the worst nightmare of my entire life last night. Couldn't sleep afterwards between 0100 and 0500. I dreamed that the NHS had found a way to bring my mother back from the dead - even more ill than when she died. My analysis is that the worst bit was not just the resurgent suffering, it was also the thought of having to go back to 24/7 duty mode. It didn't help that I kept trying to get the doctors to tell me how they'd managed to do it when she'd been cremated, but they said it was all too complex. Which made me angry as well as horrified. Worse still I have a really full day today and can't afford to be shambling about with these big bags under my eyes. Edited April 12, 2011 by Walsingham "It wasn't lies.

LadyCrimson Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Today I watched the Redsox embarrass themselves. Sheesh. Other than that....y'know, my life is really quite boring right now. It's a pleasant, happy kind of boring which I happen to enjoy a great deal, but nothing happens worth mentioning. Although, I would like to complain that our tax accountant sure does charge a lot for his services. He's worth it, but jeez... “Things are as they are.

Malcador Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Forgot how easy the White Book is to read, too tired to do the problems in anything beyond pseudocode. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

Raithe Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 As much as I'm generally a bit of a Royalist.. I have to say I'm beginning to get a touch annoyed with all the blather about the upcoming Royal Wedding. Of course, that might be because I'm a tad suspicious/meh about the bride and her family. Not to be snobbish or anything. I just find the whole concept of a girl who chose her university purely on the basis of wanting to be able to meet the Prince.. the Uncle who is a well known drug supplier living in Spain.. and the parents who run an online party planning/suppliers and have the sheer taste to start producing tacky "royal couple" items to include on their website..... (Also, as a few reporters have noted.. given what said company accounts say they make..the parents are living a bit beyond their means...) Ah well. Mid-vent on that over and done with. Tis a sunny day and various things are getting done at a slow pace.. but pushing ever onwards... (and making sure to have a fresh cup of tea to stimulate).

Syraxis Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks for the book recommendations; I'll look into them soon. Today I found my new outdoor passion: geocaching. Found one right in the middle of the nature trail at the local park.

That's worse than my standard re-occuring nightmare where I'm back at Navy boot camp thinking I'm gonna be found out and arrested for being an RE4 who lied to enter the service, even though I never want to re-enter the service.

All evidence points to the bride simply being amazing in bed. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Walsingham Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks for the nightmare votes of sympathy. Or do I mean votes of nightmare sympathy? Got the work done tolerably well despite problems, and toppled back into bed at 2200 last night. Which again is unusually early, and woudl normally trigger a nightmare. But I appear to have exhausted my brain for the moment and slept through perfectly peacefully. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Raithe Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 ... The puppy keeps trying to chase/play with the cat. And then takes a dump in the hallway about 10 minutes after being out in the garden. The fun thing is my sister keeps sayign when she takes him out around her friends he's clearly already housetrained because he'll whimper at their doors to go out.

Malcador Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Not if he dies in 5 or 10 years. Never know, man. My aunt continually depresses me with that, I'll say how work is a bit tedious, then she'll mention "Well, you've only got 40 more years...". Hah. Found out one of my aunts has breast cancer, second relative in as many years to have it, so need to take my manager hostage to get time off for that. Why can't it be my **** relatives that get cancer ? Edited April 13, 2011 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?
