  1. uh no I just want to help dave with his maintenance, so he can focus on far more important things with his family. not to mention I can do this at work, or at home, and it still looks like I am working :-D
  2. Sorry man, WOTLK was an expansion for the game World of Warcraft, it is Wrath of the Lich King
  3. I don't see any errors or anything wrong, notifications appear to be coming through just fine. Back to WOTLK for me
  4. I might have some WROX books on PDF, let me sort through my kindle later and I can share them if I still have them
  5. Agreed 100% Legacy code is good to learn, but as an after to whats being used currently.
  6. I want to get it, but its nto going to happen any time soon. I hadn't heard it was short though, that makes me sad
  7. The problem was the Notification table and the inline table associated with it were missing columns Just added them in real fast. Had to do it manually, as the auto repair wasn't working The first one to go through was a notification for Dattebayo from a thread he subbed to If its still broke, let me know
  8. ~Cough~ Ahem I fixed some broke SQL shit ~Sits back down~
  9. may be slightly offensive:
  10. .... a detailed reason not to play the game Isarii is/was a very active member of Tamriel Foundry and longtime beta tester. Last month, he wrote a detailed review of the game, and even more recently, he submitted a "farewell" post on his blog. While he may come of as slightly bitter in some areas, he has reasonable and valid opinions about the game. It also shows the tricky position Zenimax is in, because it's so incredibly difficult to please both the TES and MMORPG crowd. Warning: this shit is long, like it took me a large portion of the morning to go over. Its a really solid writeup, and I found myself agreeing with most of it. http://tamrielfoundry.com/2014/02/eso-isariis-comprehensive-review/ However, this points out why I won't be playing TESO in much better terms and with far more experience than I have in playing the game so far: http://errantpenman.wordpress.com/2014/03/22/a-farewell-to-teso/ Also, the Author just posted this on the forum that I found this, he clarifies some points: I do think that a large portion of gamers will enjoy this mmo. I can see where folks will go nuts over it, I just won't be one of them, Single player Skyrim, heavily modded, is where I will be (Or the Remakes of Oblivion and Morrowind, using Skyrims engine WOOOOOO)

    Revisiting BF3

    Have any of you guys gone back and visited BF3 at all? I am thinking about doing it today or tomorrow. on PS3/ PC I never really got anywhere as far as stats go, on Xbox i was in 60's or so. I wasn't sure if it was worthwhile or not anymore
  12. If you need help let me know
  13. I always think this. There are quite a few times where I just totally decimate someone in a face to face gun fight, I walk away from it totally shocked, only to have the next one end with me eating pavement. It just feels like the law of averages kicked in on me. and I am okay with that
  14. Yea, I agree with this. There are very few times I have cried BULLSHIT at my screen in BF#, the majority of the time, I have to give credit where its due. While in CoD, I am screaming Bullshit about every 3rd death, sometimes every death. Dedicated servers would really do a lot to fix that game (Sure there is wonkiness in the game, but its not CoD wonkiness)
  15. Bro-Five! If it doens't have guidance, it doesn't hit for me LOLZ
  16. You are an RPG noob though.
  17. This is cool and all, but does it make the game good enough to purchase? I doubt it, but maybe in the future, newer ones will be better
  18. If a Pussy assed Recon sat back and did nothing but move his spawn beacon around to each flag, and spotted/ locked onto targets, I would be happy with them.
  19. COD is far worse I haven't gotten any hatemail in weeks now, in CoD, I got it every few matches
  20. So when does it get released again? I thought it was yesterday morning, but it wasn't there when I looked
  21. I didn't notice this thread till now, sorry for that. All of us will have wildly different answers for you, so be prepared to get conflicting tales of how hard one is over the others. What do you want to do? Do you want to make web pages and do server side coding? Do you want to write Windows applications, Mac Apps, Android OS apps, Movie's, games, etc....? How strong are you in math? My evolution through programming was pretty typical for my time, but I doubt it would be typical today. So I don't really want to tell you how I learned all this crud. (Dylan is a good example of someone learning programming today. Kid is starting with Java by building Minecraft servers and playing with the Mods in there. ) As far as books: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/ They write the best books out there. I am not nearly as good at coding applications (Phone, or Desktop) as I am at DBA level crap. These days I am honestly just a SQL script monkey. If I had to do it all again, I would stay away from the following languages at the beginner level: CGI/PERL - No, just no, Seriously. To this day I cannot code in CGI/ PERL. Everyone says its beginner friendly, but its not really. Go do PHP if you really have to ActionScript - While I am not sure if its 100% dead, lets be honest here, When was the last time anyone played a Flash game, or ran a flash Movie. HTML5 drove the last nail into this languages coffin Fortran - Old as balls, my mom learned this back in the 80's, Very few use it, very few resources. Those that do use it can make decent money, but I never found it to be worth the headache Cobol - See above, Sure you can make decent money, but the headache is nuts at the beginner level PHP - Start with HTML and Java instead, come back to this. You (Everyone) should learn it, but don't' start with it. AS/400 CL - I got pushed off on learning this for a job I had in Chicago..... Steer away until you have a few years under your belt. Things to look into at the beginner level: JavaScript (This is not the same as Java) - I found this easier to learn to be honest, also, it helped me pick up Java (I have heard others reverse the order of what they learned) C (Note this is the base C programming language, it is not C# or C++, With this you will have a basis for loads of other langauges, also there is ssssoooo much documentation out there that you shouldn't have many issues) MySQL - Everyone should attempt to learn how databases work. MySQL is a great way to do that. Its really easy and straightforward, but can grow more complex as you grow as a user HTML4/5 - Honestly, start off with some really basic Hello World pages and then move on. Everyone has to cut their teeth somewhere. Tools to help you: Notepad ++ is a great tool for reading code, its Windows Notepad on steroids. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ This website: http://stackoverflow.com/ Lastly for now: Start a series of cheat sheets, or even a google drive and store little chunks of code in it. You will find yourself developing your own flavor of coding as you learn more and more. By saving these little code chunks you will save yourself headache in the future. Do NOT try to reinvent the wheel, find code that works, and then steal it. Seriously, we all do it. T. S. Eliot, who in 1920 wrote “Immature poets imitate, mature poets steal”, really nailed it down. Find something that someone else did really well, and drop it in your tool kit so you can in turn use it. just be sure you understand why the code works how it does. Example of one I swiped back in November, that has saved my ass more than I care to admit.
  22. claymores are the same way I don't remember there being any overlap between Engi's and Bandage's Is there one that I am forgetting?
  23. I am torn on it for the exact reasons you posted.
  24. always as far as I knew, depending on where you hit them, they are the strongest in game
