Learning how to program is all fine and funky, but it doesn't help when your computer breaks down and you can't get to any of your programs.
I am an IT Technician with experience in hardware and software maintenance AND a web developer with knowledge of various languages - proof you don't have to just specialise in one or the other.
I couldn't agree more. When I first started learning PHP I read through my books, looked at code and followed the examples of many tutorials and yet still felt like I hadn't learnt a thing. It wasn't until I started creating projects to solve issues I was having that I actually got into it and taught myself anything of use.
There's no point just reading a book if at the end of it you can't put any of it into context to create something.
My age is irrelevant, and I find it quite sad that you have to keep referencing it as if it's some important point. Do you have nothing else to say?
I assume that your mention of sock mending capabilities was in reply to my use of the words "darn it" (which I find to be more polite than "damn it").. and that the sex lives of female visitors might possibly be brought about because I mentioned accommodating them.. but I am struggling to figure out where washing the editors comes into this?
All of this analysing, huh! And to think I was merely going along with the April Fools joke.

Doesn't stop you being able to use spell-check.
If you're going to criticise someone's English skills, it generally helps to have perfected your own first.
Mathamatics, eh?
I was going to ask the same question.

No, I think it's more a case of the fact that your comment made no sense.
What are you on about?
It's about time you Slashdot people accommodated your female visitors, darn it.
