Yeah, I know a little bit of html, but who doesn't? Not like it's hard to learn. And it's definitely a plus that she enjoys her degree.

Oh god... the memories. I tried to jam a bunch of shit like that into my head when I was a script kiddy using keyloggers and shit. The only thing I managed to do was piss myself off because I couldn't stand it. I never want to work with C++ ever again



They are the languge I meant, not silly little html lol. And yes it does suck to start with but what was just a hobby/way to kill time productively for her turned into a fun degree course and possibly career.

Maybe the time is ripe to try again eh?

Or maybe learn a foreign language or something, I'm trying to learn french after 3 years since I studied it in "high school" (i think thats the equivalent, left when i was 16)

Do some sport..i dunno :D

Possibly. Hit me up with some links and I'll try again. I don't have the time to look for links right now since my time is almost up on the pc, and when I get home I could just come here and scope 'em out :3

If there's one thing good about me, it's being able to memorize things. I know at least a handful of words from many different languages, some I could even make very simple conversations with. But the only languages my school offers is French, Latin, and Spanish. And since 95% of people take Spanish, the Spanish teachers thinks that gives them the right to be serious fuckhats, plus, I don't like Spanish; at all. Latin doesn't interest me, and French... just wasted time if I took that up.

This is going to make me sound like a serious weaaboo, but I'd actually like to learn Japanese. I've tought myself a lot of words and what not, but most of them can't be put into sentences together to make sense. But basically, one day I want to travel to Japan, and I don't want to have to carry a pocket dictionary with me. And I also don't really enjoy teaching it to myself. It works, but it's boring.

For a hermit FFXI loser like I am, I'm really good at sports. I won't get into details about this, but I basically hate sports with a fucking passion.

Its the shit Ketrebu brings up that makes me wish I had more friends that knew more than what a fucking cookie is on browsers. "Cain and Abel" jesus christ, haha. I just wish I knew where to start about learning shit like that. I'm really interested in IT security and programming, although I don't know a single person in my age group in the greater state of North Carolina that would share my interests.

Considering I work with them a lot, I'd imagine that software would be an absolute nightmare to manage on an Active Directory / Group Policy based network.

Group Policy and Policy Software Installation on an AD network domain using MSI's is a god send. Can install all the windows updates automatically, and change settings for every machine at once just by editing the policy on the server. Installing software is as easy as installing the MSI for it onto the server and it'll get pushed down onto all the workstations at reboot.


And your right in assuming that Ket. I remember this poor bastard would go around, disablding Deep Freeze, installing software and updates, then reenabling Deep Freeze on each computer in the labs, or at least thats what I thought he was doing. They had it at my high school.

Spanish is a waste even though there are more and more people in our country that only speak spanish all the time. French isn't a waste. If anything, girls like when you talk to them in it lol.

I just hate how a lot of places like schools or other public services to learn spanish because of the huge influx of mexicans and other spanish speaking people that won't learn english.

They shouldn't "have" to learn spanish to communicate for their job, but its nice to know another language and try to communicate with people in their most comfortable language, especially if you are providing a "service".

If you provide a service, its always in your best intrest financially and customer service wise to make the "consumer" as comfortable as possible, just because immigrants learn english doesn't mean they will be more comfortable with it. I'm not against the whole english thing, because its not hard to learn another language if you acutally try.

And they should learn english, but at the same time excluding their language from society because we have our version of lazy people who don't like learning another language is stupid also.

Whose lazyness is right and whose it wrong? Neither, they are both idiotic. I'm a firm believer in always learning and improving yourself.

Besides if you want to get in the pants of one of my peoples, knowing some spanish won't hurt your chances with our fine ass women.

Well, yeah, in the back of my mind I thought maybe you sold your character. And yeah, Mrukk told me he was using you.

But seriously, what topic of mine has ever stayed on topic? Around the end of the 1st page, it always goes to crap.

I didn't play 2 years of my life with people i still consider friends all to sell all those memories for less than 150 $ cash. It would throw everything i've done and everything they've down out the window.

meh the language thing wasnt so much an idea to be useful, just something challenging and maybe interesting to do. it does however look good to employers, non acadamic things such as this can really impress prospective bosses, regardless of what language it actually is or if it's even going to be useful in the company.

I'm not saying we shouldn't learn spanish, just that we shouldn't have to for our jobs. My boss put the numbers 1 to like 50 in spanish to try and help lol. I know that learning a language to help make the customers more comfortable is always appreciated, and if I had time and cared about my job I would do it, but since it won't directly benefit me in the future meh.
