  1. a mirror on Headphones in Corporate Culture? · · Score: 4, Informative

    one of the people where I work has a mirror (similar to the one you would see on a bike) attached to her monitor..

  2. Re:Surrounding yourself with talent on Genius Requires Just the Right Mix · · Score: 0

    jesus, you just remind me why I dislike my job so much(programming), none of my peers are at my 'level'(I'm not saying I'm a genius) so I can't learn anything from them nor can I teach them a whole lot(they're stuck in their ways more often then not). All in all, very frustrating.

  3. how Java, Gtk# and Mono? on Learning Java or C# as a Next Language? · · Score: 1

    http://www.mono-project.com/Java
    I just tried it out a few minutes ago.
    From the URL:
    "Mono is able to run Java code side-by-side with .NET as well as having Java and .NET object interoperate with each other."

  4. Re:Well... on Recruiting IT Students? · · Score: 1

    I have been hunting for a PHP job too(well, I don't actually want to do PHP but I know there places that will pay me more than $10 an hour to do it). What I've noticed is there are fewer PHP jobs, they pay less and are more likely to be a wage position instead of salary. Having experience is very important. I have 3 years of it (ugh). To build up your experience I would suggest using sourceforge or maybe even rentacoder(If you live at home). Be sure to watch craigslist - http://www.craigslist.com/about/cities.html - for job postings as sites like hotjobs, careerbuilder or monster usually require a higher degree of education or more experience. If I hadn't been in school this semester I could've gotten a job, so I'm saying fuck you to school in the hopes for a better world.

  6. Re:Oh fer cryin out loud on The Real Reason Behind iTMS Tiered Pricing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree. How much "leverage" is this tiered pricing if the artist doesn't get a piece of it anyway? (unless they are.. I have no idea)

  9. for spam... on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 2, Informative

    take a look here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threa did=441925 .. the post by slidey is possibly the most useful.

  10. trust on Advice for the K12 Tech Guy? · · Score: 1

    build trust, I agree the current setup sounds like shit, but they won't trust your decision making until they've seen you in action for a bit.

  11. Re:$10/hr on How Much Money do Programmers Really Make? · · Score: 1

    I am well aware of it.. but I don't think I want to spend my time programming in the future.. too repetitive.

  12. $10/hr on How Much Money do Programmers Really Make? · · Score: 1

    I am a web developer(php/mysq/javascript *groan*) working in a guy's basement. there is a backstory to all of this(I went from knowing jackshit to knowing a lot in about 2.5+ years). Now that I know a lot, I know I'm underpaid.. but I'm also bored of the work. blech.

  19. future of the web? on Ruby on Rails 0.13 Out Today with AJAX Superpowers · · Score: 1

    my personal opinion is that the future of the web is ruby on rails + JS + postgresql.

    why? RoR is a framework (unlike php, for example). postgres has more features then the more common mysql. JS improves usability.

  20. what we're using it for on Google Releases Maps API for External Use · · Score: 1

    this is cool since now the forum I am a part of can finally have a 'forum map' (for vbulletin just added 2 profile for lat/long). it should be up and running in a bit as it's kind of a no brainer.. only complaint would be that there could be an easier way to get lat/long by user input (maybe I skipped it on the API page?). meh.

    that is how my current employment is, once in awhile I get to re-architect(which is fun then back to the bore.. I'm cutting down hours because I find it so boring.. possibly leave the programming field all together who knows, it's too grating. switching languages would help wake my interest for a bit til I got bored of that. it's an endless wall of boredom I foresee. time to move on..
