And Wee I'm going with software engineering or computer games development... depending on the uni, but i wanna do SE at manchester or lincoln, I think lol.
Not to take it off topic, but Iamthwee, no. simply put lol. I'm still applying to uni's (gotta right a personal statement that is going nowhere, and doesn't look like it will), and will look at apprentiship (spelt wrong?) jobs after christmas (when they come out). and ta for the compliment. :)
Now back to postsecret.. is frank right or wrong to make money from selling books?
I don't know how many people know of postsecret but basically a guy set up a mailing box for people to send in secrets and posted them in the above blog, in a pretty short space of time he was getting thousands a week. Reading that always brings me back down to earth.
I've attached some of the olders ones that I felt enough to save.
Not to be rude or anything, but you bought an acer. I think if you step up your budget just a little, you may find a better computer without the nonsence. I have learned the lesson, "you get what you pay for" many times over.
The language and environment hardly matter at all, what matters is that you're doing it for pay, in a corporate environment under the oversight of more experienced people who can and will teach you a lot if you show yourself willing to learn and work both, and not to be an arrogant kid who thinks he knows it all because he has a piece of paper saying he knows it all.
Well, one of my supervisors at work is training me to be a supervisor (against the rules, i'm too young but what the hell lol) because "if someone wants to learn then why not?" So I got the "want to learn" bit down pat.
I like pty's idea, over the summer I thought I'd look into java/c++ so I DL some ebooks on Java. Problem is can't really concentrate on a computer screen, and reading stuff like that from a book is hella confusing (me audio/visual learner it would seem).
Alot of people say go to uni for the experience of it. Seems bloody expensive for an experience in socialising.
That reminds me, my driving instructor said that big IT bosses are sending graduates on social skills courses because they lack them, not sure if he was winding me up...
I agree with Jwenting, but when I say i'd rather do an apprentiship style job, they look at me as if i've got 2 heads. Experience is waht people look for but how do you get that to start with?
yeah my cus got a widescreeen one with a turion 64 and MCE for about £699
very nice, 512 ram and 120gb hdd with built ijn wifi, webcam, card reader etc and dvd/r
does the cam work? is it a built in one? Mine is, Acer Orbicam on an aspire and it BSOD of death me randomly on startup, doesn't work with msn. and is now disabled by moi :@
>I was always under the impression that web developers were laughed at by "real" programmers. (
and all the "cool" people laugh at me *shrugs*
I feel better for the record.
AD, the systems alittle differnt here, i think it goes foundation degree (2 years), bacholers(3 or 4 year) masters (4 or 5). The course I want to do will give me a BSc (Bacholors) in which ever field.
Today I officially dropped maths. Because I like the look of Manchets Met uni and Lincoln uni, neither of which ask for maths. It feels so good to have 2 days off a week, i spent it trying to skateboard with my mate in the rain. Brliiant. more fridays like this please. I chose sanity over education. Woot!
Have you any thoughts as to why the Acer aspire T650 PC does not like to be re installed with XP? I have tried on a number og occasions and it still blue screens after I press the F8 key to install the XP OS.
looks like searching for a solution to the problem to me lasher ;)
I've never installed windows from a CD, i got a hidden partition and it does it that way. Maybe something wrong with the cd? or the drive isn't formated right?
