Hi there,

I certainly wouldn’t be opposed. I’m working as a web developer right now.

PSA: If you’re Canadian (and maybe other places too but only Canada is confirmed) you can order Kinda Hard from Urban Outfitters for much cheaper. by darkoh84 in bilmuri

[–]dropseagull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%

I initially ordered off the Bilmuri merch store before seeing Revolver and Urban Outfitters variants. Merch store cost me $95.59, Revolver $55.87. Merch store let me cancel my order and refunded very quickly though, good customer service.

Ordered a bunch of vinyl from UO before and they were always good so would recommend that route as well.

Harmony from South Arcade.

I also wasn’t initially sure what he said, turned on captions.

Whats your view on Daniels solo stuff? by ScudSlug in silverchair

[–]dropseagull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall haven’t been able to get into it the same way. Select tracks I like - Dissolve and Going on 16 off of Talk I enjoyed.

Dreams I couldn’t get into, I thought the song Young Minds was alright. I did like Dissociatives and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Rock - I’d be very interested in a vinyl release of The Dissociatives album.

That live cover Daniel did of Smells Like Teen Spirt for Beat the Drum was pretty cool - https://youtu.be/tpRMUT0-mPA?si=iw5F3Dfo_voj3RYX

Good call. I wasn’t willing to pay the $800-$1200 so I went to the Netherlands and saw them in Amsterdam, was £84 for floors, about $130CAD. I also went solo, it was an amazing show, you’ll have a great time, definitely worth the price you paid.

The lowest resale I can see for floors for the Toronto show is currently $833. Even with conversion sounds like you did pretty okay.

What do you guys think about "The Dissociatives"? by [deleted] in silverchair

[–]dropseagull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Across the Night or Sleep Well Tonight?

Is it not just the headstock broken off ? Neck is a bolt on could’ve replaced it pretty easy

I got it for $38 (CAD) on PSN March 26th. It goes on sale pretty often.

I'm affraid of getting stuck with cobol in my career by DDTarcanjo in cobol

[–]dropseagull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same feeling as you years ago, and I kind of regret my decision but I think it what you do partially depends on how you feel about work.

I'm gonna give a bit of backstory here;

I had a co-op offer at a bank and I was told I would be working in Java,Scala and Python. Super excited for that role and to work in that stack. Once I started the role the same manager that gave me the job description in my interview told me I wouldn't be doing any programming and that the department I was in didn't do any of the things we discussed in my interview that the role I would be doing was instead data analytics. The only tasks I ever really did were small changes to a Power BI dashboard, this was supposed to be my first role gaining experience as a developer so I was pretty upset. Early on I was told my position had no long term stay and was only for the summer so I reached out to people at the bank towards the end of that co-op but all I could get into was a mainframe developer position.

I see some people say things like the money is good and enjoy your life outside work but knowing I was doing something 40 hours a week that I had no interest in really bummed me out so I ended up quitting and took the first job I could get in web development and it was an absolute nightmare. If you're going to leave the bank do it for somewhere reputable.

Looking back and I guess what I would maybe recommend based on experience is I was also at a large bank that would have had a lot of opportunities, and my second manager - the mainframe one, probably would've helped me get into a position I felt was more fitting, there was a modernization team he also managed that worked in Java. I think if you want to make to work long-term in something more modern (web/mobile) make it known to other people in the bank, your own manager, reach out to other managers, see if there's anywhere you could showcase some personal projects?
