I like to spend time doing computer things and sometimes I write about them and post my thoughts on the interwebz.

I was pretty impressed when we opened tonight. Folks started walking calmly into the store. They were walking fast, but I didn't see anyone doing an all out sprint.

I've never understood the desire to work remotely, unless you are nomadic and travel the world.

Is that $1500 for your own place or $1500 with roommates?

San Jose is a bit farther away from San Francisco, but the prices are lower there aren't they?

Well I meant in addition to any non-school related projects I do. :P The tasks we are asked to perform here are a joke. I recall a problem set last year that went something like this: "You have a Door object that has a state which can be 'open' or 'closed'. Write a mutator method to change the state of the door." What the hell? That was about 2/3 of the way through the course too. I know its a first year course but come one ...

I haven't made anything yet. How would the source from my course assignments/projects look on GitHub?

I definitely get the point of MIT and Stanford having amazing entrepreneurial cultures, which is something that we don't have here in Newfoundland.

I'd love to be able to tell people about something that I've made -- but I haven't made anything. I have no idea what to make and no clue where to start.

This is an interesting answer because I wasn't expecting anyone to tell me that business is easier than MIT. Then again, you owned the majority of a business that had more than $1m in revenue. I have trouble finding money to spend on lunch.

I'm a CS major now and I'm strongly considering switching to an Applied Math/Computer Science double major. Are you a developer? If so, what about your math degree helped you most? Did you focus on pure or applied math?

I have considered Waterloo, but it's far too expensive for me to attend, unfortunately.

That's good, because although I have a StackOverflow account, my reputation is 1. It's a new account. :P
