  1. My (old) school + Ubuntu = Epic surprise

    by , 11-19-2011 at 11:50 PM
    Well surprise, surprise.
    I was going to a community event hosted at my old school and believe it or not they had a set of computers running Ubuntu. People were using them (a visitor was reading the "Ubuntu for human beings" document) and from the looks of it they were linked to the main servers which means the entire school is using it!

    Well that made my day, good to see people embracing Ubuntu. Oh and everyone seemed to be using them with no difficulties (something ...

  3. TCP/IP: a formal education

    by , 11-17-2011 at 12:31 PM
    Okay, so I'm almost done reading Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment and I'm stuck on System V IPC; can't get message queues to work. I looked for some example code online and found a whole lot of interesting stuff, including this one website full of Linux tutorials. I found some material, though I didn't read it, realizing that what I need is a better understanding of the design of IPC, not just how to use it. Meanwhile, I've finished teaching myself the basics of Common Lisp and have ...

  4. Technology vs. business

    by , 11-07-2011 at 05:44 PM
    I just read an article on Ars Technica about a Google lawyer taking a stance on software patents. I'm glad someone representing a company as large as Google is finally speaking against the system. But what I really found interesting was where it said that Bill Gates himself actually expressed a fear that some company would abuse the system to make money off other people's inventions. Ironic that it turned out to be his own company.

    I think this really throws something to light: ...

  5. Dear Codecall, Take me back?

    by , 11-06-2011 at 10:10 AM
    I haven't touched codecall in a while and I feel bad. It is not that I moved to another forum, I simply stopped checking for a while and I wish I didn't.

    I literally joined codecall a couple weeks after I started programming and I remember posting about how to take input and format output, and now I have come a long way in only a bit over a year and a half.

    I now know java, python, and c++. I have worked on a moblie development project at Saint Mary's University as a ...

  6. The bosses bad decisions based on...

    by , 11-01-2011 at 05:35 AM
    In my last full time job (since then I'm a free lancer), I had to make a website for the compagny I've been working for.
    The boss wanted something dynamic, young, and hip (his word). So the designer did everything with a lots of colors, everything round... and everything was moving, all the time.
    The website was made in flash, 100% flash, the whole website was only 1 flash page. Everything was moving, even the menu, that you needed to move your mouse over to see what menu was taking ...
