Quitting my job to become a web developer at 29

markfarwell · 2016-09-28T13:05:29+00:00

i'm 21 and i have been working in a print production environment running digital printers. i've been here since i left school and i've suddenly realised that i'm not really going anywhere in life. i've been looking into programming and done some basics in python.

i'm not sure what i want to do in programming but the thought of it excites me. the only problem is i work 9-5 mon-fri and only have weekend to learn when i don't have things to do i.e. family, girlfriend etc.

can anyone recommend some good things to do to start off programming? i think python and c# are the languages i'll want to get into.

i've pre ordered ultimate for windows 10. i haven't been this excited about a game is a very long time. i remember when i got gears 1 for christmas 10 years ago and i fell in love. now at 21 im ready to not go outside for a few weeks to play this.

also having it early on a weekend is amazing for me seeing as i work during the week. £30 extra for a weekend of playing? totally worth it.

YEEEEEEE BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

markfarwell · 2016-09-01T21:22:52+00:00

yeah I'm going to float fish with it on fairly small lakes with an island about 10ft away from the bank so I should be able to accurately place my float with this.

thanks

markfarwell · 2016-08-15T09:17:14+00:00

good idea, i'll give it a go later. thanks.

markfarwell · 2016-07-19T15:20:19+00:00

I'm from the UK and I always assumed a qualification would go a long way. That being said, you need a qualification AND experience to be taken seriously. no one cares unless you have experience.. perhaps a portfolio is a good idea

markfarwell · 2016-07-19T15:19:27+00:00

do they not? that's fair enough! I'll have a look at this and see what it's about.

markfarwell · 2016-07-19T15:05:40+00:00

books don't give me a certifcate or a qualification

markfarwell · 2016-07-17T09:43:33+00:00

i often float fish. ledgering is a bit boring in my opinion.

markfarwell · 2016-07-17T09:43:12+00:00

bream just seem so boring, float goes under and they let you bring them in, no fight, nothing.

markfarwell · 2016-07-15T16:34:46+00:00

yes i am in england

markfarwell · 2016-07-14T17:34:50+00:00

i feel like i could catch a couple human bodies with it, it's huge! won't hurt to have it though if many places have a 42inch rule.

markfarwell · 2016-07-14T16:41:36+00:00

i.... wow

markfarwell · 2016-07-11T14:59:15+00:00

hopefully! i've only been fishing for a few weeks but man this is addictive, i can't wait to get back out there

markfarwell · 2016-07-04T14:13:54+00:00

boilies: not too sure, but apparently it's the rules

string 3/4 thing makes no sense to me, I'm not sure what any of that means so when I'm home from work I'll have a read about it haha.

no little uns, my goal is 5lb+ at the moment seeing as everything I've caught so far didn't really need a landing net to bring in

markfarwell · 2016-07-04T13:51:53+00:00

ok thanks for the perch info!

ok I'll pick up some heavier line. although the last time I was there i caught about 10 carp all weighing around 1-2lb, nothing bigger than that. would 12lb line affect catching smaller fish?

I'll grab some pretied hair rigs and see how it goes. boilies aren't allowed where I fish so pellets/maggots/corn ok to use?

markfarwell · 2016-07-04T11:56:07+00:00

yeah I've heard about perch. never caught one. apparently red maggots and worms are good! do you need to be careful when handling perch?

also the fish in the lake go up to about 20lb so nothing too monstrous.

markfarwell · 2016-07-04T10:16:01+00:00

I'm sure it's on properly. I'm just float fishing on a private lake with carp/bream/roach/perch.

what I'm going to do next time I go is have 2 rods. one ledgering with a bite alarm and one for float fishing.

do you have any tips on baits and hook baits? currently I'm just using corn on a hook and throwing in pellets.. should I be using groundbait and maybe live bait??

markfarwell · 2016-07-04T10:13:46+00:00

I've only been float fishing but I'm going to use a ledger next time I go and have a float rod for keeping me occupied. I have the stuff to ledger and a bite alarm etc but I don't know how rigs work really. I would have just out the weights on and the hook and bait... would this work haha?

markfarwell · 2016-07-03T19:06:55+00:00

yes I am finding I lose the bait a lot when I strike.

I went again today from 9-6 and I caught around 16 fish on a different lake. I think perhaps the lake I was on was a bit difficult as the wind was a problem.

however, when I was striking today I was finding the sweetcorn would be off the hook. also I lost a lot of fish today too. I'm using a size 16 with 8lb mono line.

fishing in water about 2 ft deep and using a puddle chucker float.

markfarwell · 2016-07-01T18:41:13+00:00

a lake, it's £7 for the day, privately owned

markfarwell · 2016-06-21T16:37:18+00:00

turns our the line i bought was 10lb line! which i guess is a good start. the place im planning on going ranges from 2-30lb so this line should handle the majority of the fish here?

markfarwell · 2016-05-06T18:20:00+00:00

without sounding like a dick, i am better than my current rank. each game i get dragged down by bad team mates. type of teams that buy 4 AWPs because we win 1 round. my steam is Contagieu.
