So, no coding or Math done this week. Math is no longer a concern (My final was Wednesday, and though not as prepared as I hoped to be, I did tolerably well I feel), but I really really gotta dig in my heels and focus on code stuff. The weird thing is, I do enjoy coding. I don't neccesarily enjoy learning new languages (since at it's core, a lot of ( Read more... )

So, no progress on learning goals this week really. Between not feeling well, and general emotional burnt out, not a good week for it. BUT! I have started going to the gym. Our office has a deal with a nearby gym, so my membership is free. I also signed up for weekly personal training (*wince* expensive). given I've gained almost 30 pounds in the ( Read more... )

I'm onto Day 2 of the Google python course. I got a lot less work on stuff done over the holiday break than I had envisioned. I did get a lot of Borderlands playing in though, which I hadn't gotten much of lately. I think I needed the downtime. Now to strike a balance. But that'll wait till after wednesday, because tonight and tomorrow night must ( Read more... )

So, I've really started on the Google Python course. It's very basic, really just covering some common stuff so far. I'm ok with that though, it's keeping it really practical. It's what they teach at Google, which is neat, meant to be an intensive 2 day course. I'm obviously taking it a bit slower. Started it yesterday, continuing it during my ( Read more... )

So, I started attempting to learn Python again last night. Google offers their inhouse Python training online to anyone for free, so I think I'll run through that first. Last night, I did the set-up, getting Python running on the spare laptop (trying to work on the main computer offers too many distractions). The google course is supposedly quick, ( Read more... )

I have the oddest, most pleasant luck sometimes. I start doing this, and blunder into 2 excellent resources Via Lifehacker ( Read more... )

So far, for coding at least, but in general, I've started learning, and then often end up stopping before getting far. The best success I had was Java, which I had a class. I think I need a learning method that involves real projects more, like you would get in a classroom, to effectively learn. I have some online courses I snagged cheap for ( Read more... )

There are always things peaking my interest, and stuff that I'd like to learn. Generally, I'm not terribly successful, because I either can't keep the interest and start only to get distracted and do something else, or because I'm not sure where/how to start. I don't use this journal much anymore, but I think I'd like to start using it as sort of a ( Read more... )

So, I just got a netflix account. plz to be inundating me with suggestions of neat stuff I may not have seen.
