| 00:55.15 | bigdog_ut | sometimes to much it seems |
| 00:55.28 | bigdog_ut | i wish it was more so i could do it full time |
| 00:59.12 | bigdog_ut | i guess everyone is sleep or eating? |
| 01:01.26 | sdibb | working right now |
| 01:01.29 | sdibb | I wanna get outta here |
| 01:01.34 | sdibb | Just gotta write this last function |
| 01:02.04 | bigdog_ut | how is working going? |
| 01:02.23 | sdibb | pays the bills, and that's about it. |
| 01:02.45 | sdibb | Im looking for something a little more stable |
| 01:05.09 | bigdog_ut | what type of development do you do? |
| 01:05.58 | sdibb | right now, just php+mysql backend web development. I know enough postgres and sqlite to love it and use it, and Im trying to learn python. |
| 01:06.52 | tierra|w | given the right php+mysql project, I would enjoy getting paid for it |
| 01:06.55 | sdibb | Just apache php thas about it |
| 01:06.59 | sdibb | mysql |
| 01:07.02 | sdibb | I love the project |
| 01:07.08 | sdibb | Just the business has me worried. |
| 01:07.37 | tierra|w | I'm unfortunately on both wrong ends of that... |
| 01:07.46 | sdibb | heh, what are you doing tierra? |
| 01:08.09 | tierra|w | the business isn't stable, and I'm coding something that's not all the fun... C++/wxWidgets application |
| 01:09.01 | tierra|w | not sure if it's the language that makes it not as fun, cuz I used to love PHP, but I've been forced away from it because of this project for the past year... |
| 01:09.15 | sdibb | Im sure c++ is a beast. |
| 01:09.41 | sdibb | whats the project? |
| 01:09.58 | tierra|w | well, I've grown to like it a lot actually now... I was in the opposite position when I first started: really rusty c++, great php... now I'm great c++, rusty php |
| 01:10.30 | tierra|w | project management software |
| 01:10.37 | sdibb | hmm thats tough |
| 01:10.50 | sdibb | I always wondered if its possible to be a proficient programmer in more than language at a time. |
| 01:16.29 | tierra|w | I'm finding it to be really hard... |
| 01:17.42 | tierra|w | I can have knowledge of 10 different languages with no problems, but can only use maybe 2 efficiently at a time |
| 01:17.58 | tierra|w | only takes a couple weeks to switch them out though... |
| 01:18.47 | sdibb | oh really? |
| 01:18.50 | sdibb | which ones have you worked with? |
| 01:20.38 | tierra|w | Visual Basic, C++, PHP, Perl, Python, Java, and then there's the languages that I can handle efficiently no matter what I'm working on (basically, the interpreted languages): HTML, CSS, SQL, etc |
| 01:21.34 | bigdog_ut | same here...i use to use c/c++ alot and now i am using java by day and php by night...plus all the other stuff |
| 01:21.55 | bigdog_ut | my perl is really rusty too |
| 01:22.22 | tierra|w | yeah, I haven't touched a single Perl script in probably 2 years, and even then, it was very light work |
| 01:23.29 | bigdog_ut | my database skills have been slipping a little too |
| 01:23.39 | bigdog_ut | but i have increased in all the xml technologies |
| 01:25.20 | sdibb | coo man |
| 01:25.21 | sdibb | Im outta |
| 01:25.46 | synic|h | horray for Java :) |
| 01:25.57 | synic|h | currently my favorite language |
| 01:27.29 | bigdog_ut | java and php are my 2 favorites |
| 01:28.28 | synic|h | do you use Java for work? |
| 01:28.46 | tierra|w | I can't stand Java... the feel, the name, and the style of coding... there's just something too odd about it |
| 01:29.04 | synic|h | wow, the style of coding is my favorite part |
| 01:29.07 | tierra|w | besides the fact that it's slow |
| 01:29.23 | synic|h | it just seems so natural to me |
| 01:29.25 | tierra|w | I do like it's exception handling... that's cool |
| 01:29.46 | synic|h | of course, it might be because I'm doing it totally wrong :) |
| 01:29.51 | tierra|w | rofl |
| 01:30.34 | tierra|w | anyway, I'm off from work |
| 01:33.20 | synic|h | bigdog_ut, do you use Jabber by chance? |
| 01:35.38 | bigdog_ut | only at work do i use jabber |
| 01:36.22 | synic|h | hehe, well, if you do any java for a hobby, I could use some help on my jabber client |
| 01:36.26 | synic|h | if you're interested anyway |
| 01:36.35 | bigdog_ut | what are you looking to do? |
| 01:37.01 | synic|h | just add features to it. Write plugins, etc... |
