What I usually do is, whenever possible, to put who I'm giving my email address to as the initial part of the email address, ie. slashdot@davidcole.net so I will at least know who the jerk is who sold my address.
Otherwise, I use a hotmail account to commonly give out. Obfuscated email addresses are obnoxious.
I'm also addicted to caffeine and know what you're going through. I have quit in the past, though. The last time was about a year and a half ago. I'd just finished grad school where I lived next to a corner grocery that sold Jolt. I tried unsuccessfully to quit for weeks (after a few days I felt like I'd been beaten by a baseball bat across my neck and shoulders) until I started taking Tylenol (not aspirin, Ibuprofen, etc. but Tylenol brand). The pain went right away, and I was able to quit.
Yeah, yeah. I know I'm replying to my own post, but...
I just wanted to say that I meant no offense, really. What I said was halfway tongue-in-cheek. And I'm not against single gender groups. What I am against, however, is any sort of double standard. When it comes to gender, race, or anything of the like. I don't feel that any race, regardless of history, should be allowed to exclude any other race, but gender is a different issue. It just seems that often the people who are interested in female-only groups are also interested in stopping male-only groups. Not that that is the case here.
I just finished up a Master of Science in Internet Engineering at Marlboro College in Vermont (very rural college in a very rural state, but it had an great, cutting-edge graduate program). I couldn't find any info online about it, but they're developing a distance learning program.
Maybe I missed it when I was getting started, but I know of no good book for beginners in the field of web development. One that touches on everything from what a star topology is to what python is. A broad Internet Fundamentals book. Not in depth in any topic, but an overview of many topics.
Right on. I got my BA in Music Composition / Theory, spent a few years as a psuedo-rock star, and now am attending graduate school for Internet Engineering and develop websites for my day job.
My first love was programming, though. I still have my trusty C-64 with an external 7-1/4" disk drive (with an ice-pack on top of it) hooked up to an old tv as a monitor. Ah, those were the days...

Check out their Master of Science in Internet Engineering program.

Staying off is another matter altogether.

So, yeah. Whatever. I'm not trying to bait flame.
I'd start a Men in CS club, but I'd be SEXIST!!! sow.

I miss Lexx.
I love Pain.
