Personally I avoid it because it's not very reliable(in Houston at least. It was pretty reliable in Germany) and it's not that effective at getting me where I want to go. There's still huge sprawls of land that are actively used but not connected to the public transport routes.

There's also the huge network of people you meet that help you later in your career. I've lost track of the number of people I know who have been given job offers from old friends/fraternity brothers/faculty they kept in touch with.

I have my current job because of an alumni from my school. There's a lot more to the college experience than just the diploma.

Learn You a Haskell is excellent. It probably taught me in an hour or two what my professor couldn't do the entire term. (He's a great professor, just not when it comes to teaching Haskell)

It's all available online currently here: http://learnyouahaskell.com/chapters

Thanks for the insight.

I'm completely gungho for relocating(I grew up an army brat so that's what I'm used to) and would pretty much go anywhere if the job was interesting.

I sent a similar email to a company that does security certifications completely on a whim after talking to who I assumed was a PR type person. Turns out she was the co-founder and partner for this really small company(2 people I believe). Even though they aren't hiring I feel I made a memorable impression for when they do start.

The networking is where I currently struggle. I'm still in school so things I'm interested in (lascon, defcon, google io, etc) that would be a great opportunity for me to start meeting people are out of my budget and time schedule.

I looked at doing freelance/open source work to build a more professional resume but most stuff is either too far above my current skill range or I don't have the time to devote to it.

I just keep imagining that I'm going to have to suck it up, take the boring tech support type job, and hope that I stumble into someone who happens to be looking to hire a pen tester or something.

What's your advice for landing a really cool job that you enjoy right out of college? Not just getting a job that you take because you need to have a job and end up despising.

I sampled enough of the songs to get about 500 points(20-30 minutes) and they really need to increase the variety of samples. Most of the stuff was older pop hits (50's pop), some country, 1 rock song (Disturbed - Ten thousand fists), and a couple of old rap songs.

I'm used to listening to metal, industrial, hardstyle, house, etc. All my answers are going to be biased towards slow because even though the song may be at 120bpm it still feels slow to someone who normally listens to things closer to the 150-200bpm range.

A better sample to test will produce better results.

Depending on age a youth hostel might not be an option. The ones I stayed in when I was in Europe wouldn't let anybody over 30(25 in some cases) stay.

I'm currently finishing up my CS undergrad while working fulltime.

Always remember those times when you would spend 3 days straight coding with very minimal sleep in order to finish a project and still were able to get to class at 8am the next day. When you're at work remind yourself, "it can always be worse. I could be writing a parser in ANTLR that's due tomorrow and still barely understand the syntax"

As a college student I found this article very easy to read and understand. It gave a simple enough overview with enough detail to explain but not confuse.

I seriously hope so considering that's my field of study. At the same time though, since it's not a huge area that means it's easier for me to find jobs.

Relaxing after a hectic week of bringing Shanghai online and upgrading all of Houston.

By relaxing I mean traveling to Austin for a 2 day rave!!

Isn't having all of these different key bindings pointless when GnomeDO can bring them all up?

Isn't this essentially the same thing as OpenID? Why not move to promote OpenID across more platforms instead of rebuilding the wheel?
