  1. @richharms I have come to believe that there is no such thing as "caught up". I am, however, fairly certain that casseroles exist.
  2. An update process should not fail because the update process itself has forked and is taking up too much ram on its own. (But it did.)
  3. @djweis Ooh! I know! I know! It's when you need a 3/4 inch hole!
  4. RT @common_squirrel: jump jump jump jump < And @common_squirrel wins the checkers game! (the crowd goes wild)
  5. @JKMohning It's more of a workout if you juggle the 10 pound weights. You know. Just sayin'.
  6. @richharms The first time I saw Office Space, I didn't find it funny at all. That was an indicator that I should have changed then.
  7. @theronconrey I saw a pair of blue jeans on ML King today. Must be a hell of a day if you lose your pants crossing the street.
  8. @djweis You have people living in your oven?
  9. @JoshStrobl In ten years, all the technology will be different. However, people and their problems change much more slowly.
  10. @JoshStrobl I don't know where it's going. I've guessed wrong far too often to guess any more. I just rely on my grasp of the basics.
  11. @JoshStrobl Could be. But then, a whole lot of people like to think that they're different. You can believe me or not. Doesn't bother me.
  12. @JoshStrobl Distraction and learning lots of languages part-way weakens the pathways overall. (Oh, also study neurology. :)
  13. @JoshStrobl Remember that your brain grows via constantly-reinforcing neural pathways. The sooner you start setting them, the better.
  14. @JoshStrobl You should learn your first language in great depth, as that will form the understandings that you will draw on later.
  15. @JoshStrobl And having been a teen, I have to say that that tendency is going to work against you.
  16. @JoshStrobl Go Google on "premature optimization" and think about how that concept can impact your life.
  17. @JoshStrobl Your worst enemy will be trying to adjust too early. The world will be so very different by the time you get there.
  18. @JoshStrobl At your level, it doesn't matter. Flip a coin and learn C++ or Java. Understand it inside and out. Read loads of books on it.
  19. @JoshStrobl And takes classes outside your focus. It doesn't matter what, but the more you know outside of IT, the better off you'll be.
  20. @JoshStrobl Learn how to understand and communicate with people not like you. (Get involved in Debate/Rhetoric).
