Hmm.. I've been at this university for about 3 weeks now, and all i've "learned" is how to deal with office, and what ram, bits,bytes etc. is..
This really sucks, i sure hope it gets better.
Well, I did kick some ass when we where told to hand in a simple XHTML page about our intrests, compared to most other students..
What are you other people doing right now? Found a nice house yet, smiddy? And dex, how's your business going? ( just starting a random conversation becasue i'm to lazy for any real work on BOS right now.. )

Its no better in the UK, my cousin, started a computer course at colage and the first thing they learnt was browsing the internet, by letting them go to any site they wanted .
And the tut did not know what linux was .
Business is go great, but i wish it was a computer business, as i think i may be addicted to computers .
A friend of main started a PC repair business, he got over a 100 calls from a small advert, but 99% were for window, so he loves bill gate, as he keeps him in business .

Hi, yes, we found a house. Well, i should say, we are having one built to our specifications. I'm real excited about it. I am on location now and will be here for the duration. The house won't be finished until January or February. More to follow this weekend...
I think most colleges will not challenge you in their early stages. Perhaps not even at the higher levels until you get to graduate school. Most people don't have a clue, this is why the universities start at such a elementary level, people have to start somewhere. The hard thing for you will be trying to stay focused since you already know a great deal. If you have the opportunity try to get into accelerated courses or get into research where you can apply what you already know. Otherwise it will be monotonous. I went through a similar experience when I decided the only way to progress at work was to get a degree. I had 20 years experience but since I didn't have a degree my options were limited. So, I grinned and bared it and graduate last December. As it turns out, I landed this job which is a promotion commenserate with my experience and education.
I'll post later this weekend.

Wow, thats cool. A pretty good promotion I guess?

I bet it's gonna be hard for me to adjust if/when it gets harder... The most advanced part so far has been to program
the "web turtle" at: http://www.sonic.net/~nbs/webturtle/
Which I suppose is a good exercise for people that have never seen a line of code before, but pretty booring if you ask me..

Yes, a nice promotion, one well deserved. It is tough not having a degree and getting to be an engineer. Then I earned my degree and the company I was with didn't promote me as they had said they would when I completed it. So with this new company I got promoted and they are paying for my relocation.

Yeah, that would do it. There are people who [i]really[/i] put the life and soul into programming. Others are using it just to get to where they want to go, simply, it is a job. You are fortunate to love what you are doing. Most people don't.

Is it me or is there a big drop in the number of people into programming and particular OS Dev, all the forum seem dead and each month it seem to get worse :-( .
I can't say...I've been hiding since I have barely had any time. Though it does seem like there aren't as many posts.
