What u think of this? http://peri.me/2B1A/

suggestion: make the mac-photo be clickable. It could end up playing the video itself or take the user to a page with more screenshots of your system.

Update: just noticed that it changes when I mouse over the "share tasks" and such links. Not very intuitive for me that I should put my mouse over them and they are somehow connected to the monitor-section.

suggestion: "Project was successfully created" should auto-close after 5 seconds, since it is that type of message.

Do projects in the languages/platform you are applying for. There is no better way to concinve someone than to have actual proof.

I have lived my life without any outstanding accomplishments. What I have done so far, isn't something anyone gets recognized for. - Self-taught stuff like PS and PHP. - Learned English at school, its quite a major deal for someone who is not born speaking the language. - Started to cook an year ago. - I sort-of learned to learn from defeat through Chess. In my view, if you can play a game, lose and decide to improve yourself rather than give up, that is a great quality to have. - Create a system to automate download of anime torrents and upload the files to Megaupload. It helps people find the newest episodes of the animes. - Last semester, took 5 CS classes, and got 3 A and 2 A-. Not unique, but sure makes me feel good about myself.

For past 6 years, I have done the same thing as you. Coding everything on my own, and now have a file with 1.2K of line code containing the functions I have created over the years.

Now (more like, since a week ago), I have started to use a template system. I am still writing most of the code myself, since the template is used to organize the code into in MVC manner.

The site I am using it @ http://peri.me/2B1A/

Even if you don't want to use a framework, there is no harm in using a template system. I use http://www.twig-project.org

Thanks

Any idea where I can watch the archives?

Sell your soul to the devil.

Your to-do list, what sort of items they contain? If it is about when the certain homeworks and when the finals are, then the best for you is to use a calendar system. I use Mozilla Sunbird. Here is image of what my calendar looked like last semester: http://peri.me/albums/aDemoUzer/1/original/Calendar-F10.png - I color-code all of my items, so I can visually tell when homeworks due, the midterms are and so on. - On the left, you can see what various colors mean. - In the task panel, I usually add in items to plan out what I should be doing for this and next week. This gives me some idea as to what I should work on now and next. If I get bored of working on what I am doing right now, I start on something else I need to do.

During the final's week, I added in to-do things like what I would be studying and when in order to prepare for all of those exams: http://peri.me/albums/aDemoUzer/1/original/FIanl%20week-F10....

it _depends_ on the course material, the teacher and past experiences I got B and C on physics, so nothing for that. I don't learn every little fact, I usually learn what I think is most likely to be on the exam and focus on it. I go through the process of figuring out the key material by paying attention to teacher when it is announced what will be on the exam. During the class, the teacher would spend more time on certain concepts than others because they are likely to be the key concepts.

I tend to go over the course's lecture notes and write a condensed version for myself. I tend to write in my own words because then I can better understand it. When you have to summarize the content well, you have to be able to understand it. If you try to half-ass it, you will pay for it later, so I am assuming that you are willing to spend the time to study and do it right. Once you understand the concept, then it comes down to memorization. If you have the time, doing some application would help. That is why there are physics lab. For CS, we have our computers to write out the needleman-wunsch algorithm and try it out, if hand-simulation is not enough to learn the concept. For math, you will need to solve the equations, right the proof, draw the graph and trace out the algorithm. For english, you would go through examples in the book.

The best situation is when the teacher provides a sample exam, which has same problems as the final exam, but the variables are different. Then you would just try to re-do sample exam.

I also like to go over the homeworks and make sure I understnad why I was made to do them and what I learned from them.

I don't prefer it all. I find the current digg UI to be most appealing.

Are people happy with their choice of reader? I am sort of disappointed that google reader is so basic and would like a reader with more advanced features like organize post from oldest to newest (not just for the past 30 days) and be able to customize the text.

Been a pizza delivery guy myself and there is not much to optimize since the core problem is delivery, which requires you to get in car, drive to location, give the pizza, get money and drive back. It is only when you have multiple deliveries do you have opportunity to optimize your path of travel on the basis of traffic and distance between the delivery places.

Start a start-up

If someone was holding a gun to your head and asked you what you want to do before he kills you, what project would you choose?

It only makes 10 requests/6 minutes. I don't think that has even has a minor effect on the site. The point of the site is to make it easy to browse the news.

Congrats on having one.

frameworks? I don't need no stinkin' frameworks!

no one will mention digg.com these days...

I be interested in Junior Clipart Director position.

what he said.

I use AdBlock. If I ever do come across ads, like in videos, I usually don't even watch the video in order to avoid the ad or turn the volume to mute while the ad is running.

Before digg v4 came out, I did not know what TC is, i relied on digg for great articles

There is no age limitation for education. You can do Bachelors when you are in 50s... so doing MS in your 20s is fine. From what I have seen, at my college, most people are in the range of 23-35 doing their MS (I am 23, myself), so you would be comparably young @ 25.

me like

we need digg's "bury" button

"give up after being discouraged when progress seems to be slowing." how are you measuring progress?

huh

no
