Anybody ever sell their sperm?
I was thinking the other day that after I finish my PhD that I might be able to fetch a pretty good rate for my essence. My wife didn't like the idea, though. I guess she figures I've done enough damage to the nation's gene pool by introducing our children to the world. She'd hate to have any more little Brians running around out there.
In a manner of speaking. My X got several hundred dollars from me every month for a long time for it.Quote:

After watching Emmitt Smith on ESPN pre-game shows, I've come to determine that there is no way that he actually passed his English classes to be able to earn his degree. Man, I sure wish ESPN would get guys who know how to speak using correct grammar.
There is a BIG difference between the Architecture world, and the Home building industry.
Getting back into the more programmatic, technical side of the software world has been a lot of fun. I forgot how much I enjoyed this stuff.
I've always said it's like being a movie director. The creativity and problem-solving involved with software development keeps my mind going 90-to-nothing, and I need that.
You enjoy programming!!????
Man, you need to move out of your mom's basement and kiss a girl.
I know. Crazy, huh?
I think I like it because of the carte blanche nature of my position. It's basically "Lum, we want this. Here's a bunch of money. Make it happen."
Now, if someone was looking over my shoulder, telling me what to do and how to do it, then yeah, that'd suck hard.
This is the kind of thing I can only admit on the internet. You can't exactly walk up to your buds at the bar and start going off on null pointer exceptions. Well, you CAN, but you're definitely going home alone.
What are you saying? You try to score your buds? And it sounds like you've had some success if you don't talk about null pointer exceptions.Quote:

I've been using programing and coding with Unix the last 3 years. All I can say is THANK GOD for WINDOWS. (Never used Linux)

Anyway, if you want almost infinite customizability without spending a penny on software, then Linux is for you. If you think Bill Gates knows best what your desktop should look like and you like pouring more money into his bank account to be able to do only what he decides you should be able to do, by all means, stick with Windows.
There are, of course, problems with Linux. But, as Lum once stated on these threads, it's free so you really have nothing to lose. Ubuntu is a very mature, very newbie friendly distro, with an incredible supporting community if you want to give it a shot. It is very easy to set up a dual-boot system and play around. I did in May and haven't booted into Windows since July.

Doesn't that seem a little....low? Like, REALLY low?
Alta, help me out here. Why shouldn't I jump all over this?
Cows are awesome. They make milk, steak, and Chickafila commercials out of nothing but some hay and water. How do they find time? I don't know, but they do and they deserve a moment of recognition.
Moo, cow, moo!
