Phoenix Down.. Nerd!
I'm into programming actually, I'm into a lot of the nerdish type things, not star wars conventions.. much.. I've heard some things about them though. One programmer was trying to convince me it was a good way to pick up chicks.. lol.. but I'm under the philosophy don't knock it to you try it.
*Gets into nerd mode*
Phoenix, can I ask you what type of applications you build and what languages you program with? Typically I program languages with interpreters.. All the web based languages, html, css, javascript, php, mysql. Only two programming languages in that list, only one of which that supports object oriented code and classes, but js still supports objects, still very powerful languages imo.
Computer Programming ftw, programmers are really brilliant people, don't like the stereotypical stigmas of programmers being socially inept, but it's true in some cases. Some just enjoy getting lost in code.. which is a good thing because many have helped me problem solve in the past..
