I love cooking, especially eating, the beach, partying, investing, working out, but most of all listening to music.

  • I am a lost, novice Programmer?

    My question is, what path do you think I should take, and how should I begin to take that path?

    I am 23, graduated with BA in Finance in 09, finishing up a BA in MIS, done in 2 months.

    I do not have that in depth of knowledge in programming.

    The languages I have experience with are Visual Basic, VBA, Python, C++, Java(in order from most well known to least.)

    My knowledge does not extend any further than creating objects, assigning them variables, sparsely using and manipulating lists usefully, calling functions, and understanding encapsulation a bit.. all basic stuff, nothing advanced.

    I have no guidance from anyone I know, and I do not know what to do. There are so many languages out there, and I do not want to waste my time. If it is your opinion, that if I did not start really immersing myself in programming from high school, I do not have a chance now, then say it, as I will not be offended. I did take C++ in my freshman year of high school, but that was the only programming I did have in my grade school years. Also please list your experience however briefly you may wish to.

    Thanks,

    Dylan

  • How should I design this website?

    For my class I have to develop a class for this small company. What program or tools should I use?

    I took a class on web design and learned html and a little java. We were not allowed to use programs like dreamweaver or adobe. I am pretty intuitive with computers, but what software should I use?

    The site doesn't have to be really great, but it can't look like a child did it either.

    Thanks, D

  • What will the ipad sell for when ipad2 comes out?

    I want to buy an ipad in the next week, but I am afraid when the ipad2 comes out, I won't be able to trade up for the 2nd one, without having to bite the bullet hard when selling the first one. I don't mind paying a bit extra even with the ebay commission but I don't want to have to basically pay for an entirely new one over again if you get the point. Thanks. D

  • What path to take to get good at guitar?

    I have been playing guitar on and off for the past 5 or 6 years.

    I have went down different paths every time I have come back to it...

    different chords, figuring out tabs, practicing picking, scales,

    The difficult thing when learning something is not seeing any progress.

    Without a system of learning, progress is difficult to see.

    Yes, this is in a very logical order of events for your understanding thanks for reading thus far.

    I was aw inspired by an episode of story tellers featuring john mayor.

    Great guitarist, down to earth, real person, really admire him in a lot of ways.

    I want to learn how to play guitar well enough, that I could just pick it up and play and enjoy what I play and play well enough for others to enjoy.

    What direction do I need to go? I am on a small budget these days with college, and I can't really afford private lessons. Does anyone know of any online thing, or some steps I could take of getting books and learning things like scales..theories..etc?

    Thank you for any advice.

  • Dems, Repubs, Libs... etc...?

    What do you think of the following:

    - However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

  • I am a pack rat. Help me understand so I can change.?

    So, I was in my friends room the other day.. room was immaculate. Things placed perfectly, but I noticed one thing. He did not have stuff he did not need. Nothing was overflowing, and it seems that how he keeps his room parallels with his mindset, which I consider more focused than mine.

    I look around my room and I see all these useless things.. empty bottles, books I have never finished or read, keepsakes, and papers strewn all over my room.

    It would seem as though, my main persuasion to myself in keeping useless things would be that I can not throw some things away either because they may be useful at a later time, and save me money at a later date, or they represent a memory that I fear I would forget if I threw it out.

    I see this as a problem, and need to drastically organize my life, as I do not see how I can attain this if I can not even sort through a room only fourteen by ten feet.

    If you have ever had this problem of being a collector of seemingly useless things, which has gone hand in hand with an out of order life, please share if you have come across ways of dealing with it and getting rid of your belongings.

  • Why does my C++ program close unless...?

    Here is a basic program I made. I use Dev-C++ to compile

    Unless I add the extra cin >> x; it just closes and you can not see the output.

    Is there something I can add so that the window stays open besides the extra cin?

    thanks for any help.

    #include <iostream>

    using namespace std;

    int main()

    {

    int x;

    cout << "Enter a number: ";

    cin >> x;

    if (x <= 5)

    {

    cout << "Your number is less than or equal to 5." << endl;;

    }

    else if (x > 5)

    {

    cout << "Your number is greater than 5." << endl;;

    }

    cin >> x;

    return 0;

    }

  • What are some GRE arithmetic easing methods?

    What is a method for solving for 57,000 / 0.95 for solving the problem, "After decreasing by 5%, the population is now 57,000. What was the original population."

    Is there an arithmetic method for doing division that makes it easier than standard long division.

    The first thing that comes to my mind is to find how many times 570 is divisible by 95, and I would start probably with 6 since 9*6 is 54. Is there a paper method for when I'm taking the GRE that is easier?

    Also are there any other methods that make it unnecessary or easier to do the arithmetic? For example, methods like, adding all integers of a multiple digit number and seeing if they are divisible by 3, like 168 1+6+8=15 is div by 3 therefore 168 is too.

    Thank you for any help and good luck to anyone else taking the GRE.

  • Parking tickets in maryland?

    Yesterday, I was in Baltimore, Maryland. When I got there, my friend told me I could park anywhere, its free parking on the whole street and no permit was required. I parked on the side of the street. I got out of my car and looked at the sign, studying it for a minute or two, trying to find out what it was trying to get across to people. It was a picture of what seemed to be a round vehicle maybe a bus with a person standing outside of it, and under it read, "No stopping any time" pretty bad English first of all, and the sign was nearly bent in half. I found the sign very vague and not concise, so interpreted it to mean that I could park there and it meant that buses could not stop there at any time due to some danger unseen to me..If it were meant for people parking their cars there, I assumed it would have said "no stopping standing or parking at any time" which I am accustomed to seeing on a road where you can not park. Any one have any advice or insight into what I should do? I work at a restaurant and can not really afford to pay these two tickets at over $50 each. Also I live out of state. Thank you for any advice or information.

  • Whats up with "higher quality" snowboards?

    I just went snowboarding for the second time.

    Loved it.

    Now I want to buy my own.. thinking about spending about 250 on a board.

    Whats up with a $250 snowboard vs. a $50 snowboard, not taking into consideration the brand factor that jacks up the prices. I'm talking about performance. I don't understand how a difference in a board can affect your ability. Someone please explain.

  • Flirting with this girl tomorrow in class, girls help please?

    Hey, so there is this girl in my class that I have a fancy for, hah fancy. Shes pretty and I think I likes her. We got along pretty good the first day of class and I tried to act pretty chill and not too interested in her. Before I left class I told the table it was nice meeting everyone, and she really quietly said it was nice meeting me too barely making eye contact, but acting a bit shy. I have been thinking a lot about her the past day and I don't want to screw this up. Tomorrow I am thinking about like going along with the class thing which is a real long class, not paying that much attention to her, or any more than I would if we were just interacting in class, and then maybe like less than half way through it (like 2 hours in) I was gonna just look at her and smile at her and keep eye contact with her until she looked me in the eyes for a legit amount of eye contact back so that she knew I was definitely interested in her. Then when class finished I was gonna maybe ask her out for lunch on Thursday. What do you girls think. Anything else I should or shouldn't do? Any input is appreciated.

  • Looking for a cologne that fits?

    Hi. I have been in search of a cologne that I can wear casually; something that is not too harsh to others that they think I am wearing cologne, but maybe a body wash. I like sweeter scents, but would consider ones that weren't if they were the right fit. Some I already have are Lacoste essential, original scent, elegance and Versace Man. I will not wear abercrombie or Curve. Any input is appreciated.

    thanks, Dylan

  • Whats up with girls and their split ends?

    Ok, split ends in the hair, I don't get why girls peel them off, like they'll just sit there and groom themselves doing that for like 10 minutes at a time right next to me and I'm like dude what are you doing. If you have split ends shouldn't you have like twice as many hairs then? Twice the VOLUME?!
