Quake3World

ok so i'm living in this house with a bunch of runners. i work 40 hours a week, sometimes i bounce at a bar on the weekends, i run 5 miles a day, i read, and we play board games and drink and watch movies etc. but i still have so much time. and money. I feel like i want to do something productive with my time. any ideas?

some things i was thinking= getting a bike and bike riding, a ds and playing a lot of online video games, some other way of playing video games, getting a language program and start to learn a language, get a cool tv series to watch, learn how to program?, read more books? hmm i'm out of ideas.

Try all of those first and then see what time you have left.

How old are you?

And I'd get some courses from http://www.thegreatcourses.com and learn something. Or read.

And work out.

i'm searching for something amazingly fun and exciting. or an incredible skill i can begin to aquire.

Get some practice nunchaku and get good at those.

I did it one summer. Good times.

i'm 19 and i run college x-country and track.. i'm in decent shape :-)

Too much free time? You obviously don't have a girlfriend then - they clear that shit right up.

You could learn a programming language. Programming is a pretty constructive way to spend time, also creative.

Lol my first thought as well.

A x country running bouncer thats 19? That's got to be rare combination. Most X-C runners I knew - and I knew a lot of them - were just on the healthy side of anorexic....(the X-C culture was a big deal where I was from...I was good friends with some of the top runners in the country back in the early to mid 90s - friends of mine were in the Prefontaine movie, I know pre's college roommate fairly well...those X-C guys are an odd lot )

I thought you'd have to be 21 to be a bouncer...unless you aren't in the states. We didn't have 'bouncers' when I was a doorman. Pretty much everyone worked together when there was a problem...

CAROLINE




Astrology :
Here is what Caroline is telling you today…

You have too much time that you don’t know what to do with.
You are an avid and resourceful of potential energy and ideas.
You are a learner and always want to stay at the top of your surrounding of friends and family. You preauthorize yourself well before any one else since you feel like The head of the house and want to stay that way. Of course, it’s not always easy for you to stay at the top, so you have every day to teach yourself something new so you can stay aloft of your arena. May be a girl friend could calm you down but you have to show her what you are and this is a delicate case for you since you want to stay the head of the game.
You have plenty of time to think about it, so take your time and before you reach 50YO, I believe, you’ll know what move you have to do.
Good luck.

no man, too young to be tied

good man good man. sounds like you're doing well.

Get some women and learn to play guitar. That should eat up the rest of your time easily.

advice + :icon14:

so what is a sweet programming language?

assembly.
I've taken C, C++, and assembly programming courses and dabbled in others.
I really did enjoy assembly - but you had to know the basics of higher languages first. Still, was really cool to see how all the coding you did was reduced to some very simple commands...

MOV
JMP
ADD
etc..

WTF?!?!?

Get into VB dot NET - find a copy of Visual Studio. Once you dig in a little, you'll realize that you can create just about whatever you can think of, as long as you aren't afraid to keep studying.

i'm a mac user i feel like this places a limit on the kinds of programming i can do on my computer (or not?)

Er, I don't know. If I had to guess, I'd say it does place a limit on coding - you'd have to do all cross-platform stuff, which doesn't include VB afaik.

That sounds like a question for Dave.
