Project Update

First off, I cannot believe the amount of support I have received from quite a few people whom I have talked to about this - most of whom don't read this journal.

brmj, please don't think I ignored your post/offer of help. With school and work, I have had my nose in a phone or a book or homework for the last $diety-knows-how-long

I'm glad you've gotten everything more or less figured out.

It's fine. Honestly, I had considered the possibility that you would be too busy working on the project to check email or LJ from the beginning, so this isn't too unexpected.

And I did learn from this class that I am NOT the programming type. Give me the Cisco OS and Active Directory over classes and objects any day.

That's unfortunate. I find that there is nothing quite like it, when I've got an interesting problem to solve and get to do it on my terms. I guess it's just not for everyone.

Don't get me wrong - Challenging is very good, but I prefer the cold-install-of-ubuntu-server-CLI-now-how-do-i-get-Apache-running-on-this-infernal-contraption to the classes/objects/parameters illogical (to me) structure of a programming language (at least VB.net - possibly others are better/more logical to my aching head).

Administration is more for me - but I now have the skeletal background of being able to go to a programmer's desk and following their code and seeing just WHERE it's breaking down on the network. Doesn't mean I'm going to be doing it on my own.

/whaddaya mean it's using IPX protocols? Ain't no Novell here....

I never meant to imply that only programming could be challenging. There's just a special kind of thought process associated with it that rarely seems to occur elsewhere which I happen to enjoy immensely

What truly frightens me is that being of the ability to only barely blow up the computer - the sledgehammer is my friend - I actually understood the conversation between the two of you.

Gads I'm married to a geek! (which would happen to be the aforementioned bigstan )

Either that or its the osmosis of all of the years I've dated geeks and then being related to one (my brother is also a programmer working for an insurance company in Houston, TX).

I think I just scared myself!!! AAAAAA. ;p
