BlueWolf Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well, here it is: A thread specifically for the geeky people out here to talk about... you know, anything that is considered computer related I've created this since some people on here were confused in what language we where speaking. What should we call them? Muggles? Anyway, to continue where we got off: I looove Gedit! I love its simplicity and hate all those extra addons like autocomplete and other stuff that tries to think for you (aka Eclipse). I know what I'm typing alright? Just don't distract me with yet another pointless menu that suggest I might want to type the word "True". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 auto correct on anything is simply annoying, though there are some people that do simply need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 What should we call them? Muggles? Anyway, to continue where we got off: We should call them WozJobs. . . coz they still won't get the in joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't distract me with yet another pointless menu that suggest I might want to type the word "True". When I started doing C++ in gedit rather than netbeans, I spent 20 minutes just trying to get my code to compile, because I had become sloppy/lazy and was waiting for netbeans to hold my hand and correct errors...

I'm a WozJob when it comes to coding really. I've done basic coding in Delphi, Flash and Visual Basic ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolf Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I used to program in Visual Basic 6. It was fun, until I discovered non of the VB6 compiled programs could run longer than a week as they seemed to have a memory-leak by default. I had to reboot my crappy NT server every month because just closing the programs didn't helped But than I saw the light and switched to Linux. I learned Python along the way with the intention to use it as a stepping stone to go to whatever was the "best" language at that time. But it turned out I liked Python so much that almost all my projects are made in Python. At a 6 month internship I learned PHP and Javascript (with jQuery) in about a week as I had so much fun with it. I started creating my own tasks as they company quickly ran out of stuff they wanted to get built by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve! Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I enjoy programming but I'm lazy and don't like doing stuff for the sake of it lol so unfortunately not done much for a while I like to be a stealth geek, act stupid, get asked less questions lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolf Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yep, the best programmer is a lazy programmer (Perl/Camel book). Oh yeah, that's true! Instead of going to my local weather site every time, I made a Chrome plugin that would track my location through the html5 geolocation and would report to me an estimation of how many minutes before it would start raining in my area (or how long until it gets dry again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
