One of my favorite perks. I'm very jealous! My friends that I travel with and I are planning on London (and more of Europe) in the summer. That'll be our meeting city. I went on tour in England in 2008 but the only time I spent in London was at the airport. I'm excited to finally explore! I'll send you snaps.

Thomas³ Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Anxiety subsided, but I am left with a terrible stomachache and my arms and legs hurt. There is no way I'm getting sick again.... hopefully. I'm blaming the anxiety. Moved my day off to tomorrow, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job didn't say anything about programming, but one of the application challenges is to write a script to "Open the File (CSV), Calculate the total number of calls (number of rows excluding the header), Calculate the total billed amount, Calculate the total billed call duration, Display the summary data in the terminal window, or write the summary data to a file". My knowledge of scripting is nothing anymore . Sounded like a challenging job too. Scripting is probably my favorite part of my job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know any languages, but the application encourages google for any part of it (other part is running wire shark to check out package loss for VoIP). I think I'm going to mess with it tonight and see what I can do. Worth a shot anyway. Any suggestions on a language? I was thinking of reading up on PHP, or MySQL, since I sorta used them in the past. Edited January 9, 2017 by Thomas³ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Python maybe? You can find some good introduction tutorials online. chkadea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good one to know. Nice thing about most languages is that the basic concepts apply everywhere. Once you have that down, it's not too hard to pick up some functional knowledge of others.

What is there for me to do in Norfolk, I've never been there before. Been all over the rest of the state but for some reason never gotten to a show in that direction...

Youinreverse Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Anyone have suggestions for a Windows laptop for cheap? I'm just planning on using it for car diagnostic/programming tools and the occasional application that won't run on my Macbook. Maybe a netbook if those are still a thing?

GHOSTDRONES Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I have seen AMD laptops for $220. There are some cheap ones out there Edited January 10, 2017 by GHOSTDRONES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be my first time leaving the continent and even though nothing is officially planned, I'm terrified of the flight. Hopefully I can get a couple Xanax because being over nothing but the ocean...fuck man...that shit freaks me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 My biggest fear is that if the plane crashes I won't die on impact and then I'll just be in the middle of the god damn ocean.

NapalmBrain Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Dammit I was supposed to be off today, but I had to switch shifts with my manager so his day off didn't fall on inventory. This is my 7th day straight, and although I love my job, I'm emotionally drained and don't want to be on my feet for 9 hours again today. Plus financial strains are really stressing me out and creating a perfect storm for depression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Well I'm definitely sick again. Not sure what it is, but it's not fun. I'm starting to get alarmed at how much I've been getting sick. Time to go to the doctor I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic_ Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Anyone have experience with international shipping? Someone in ebay wants me to declare something as a gift to avoid customs on ebay. Is that okay to do? Can it fuck me over in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're shipping through the Global Shipping Program (which is the only way I will do international shipping through eBay), I don't think you have any control over that.
