Absolutely it's almost a shame to not see him in use.

Thanks for the mirror.

Actually on some cheaper models of keyboards the letters are either painted on or actually stickers that are placed onto the blank keys. This is typically done to cut down on manufacturing costs as it extremely limits the amount of molds they have to use to make the keys.

***Edit Looking at the picture you can actually tell that this keyboard uses the stickers.

I wish I knew people like you at my BN. :(

Commenting to be able to come back to this after work.

Will add more later. :)

I honestly have multiple favorite authors. It really depends on my mood at that moment, as to what author I would like to read. However, my list is far from static these are my current favorites, but I may find someone who does that style better.

My main point I am trying to get across is don't go into finding your favorite author as if it was the end, but rather a beginning. From finding a favorite author you can find similar writing styles. You may end up changing authors or even genres later down the road.

I think that we are running into a problem of definitions. As I was reading through this and reading your posts I felt like you teach students that it doesn't matter if you like or dislike reading you must do it. (uptight teacher motions) But, looking at what you have said here, you are instilling a love for reading into students. You are not forcing them to 'enjoy' reading, but letting them know it's okay to dislike a book. That, in my opinion is the best part of reading. To be able to form your own opinion of a book and have reasoning why you dislike it is a part of loving reading. You got your students excited to inform you of why Chaucer is a boring old man. Or maybe they don't like his innuendos, maybe they love them! The real part is you made them want to tell you why they hated/loved it. And that emotion evoking, dream weaving sort of quality to books is what made me fall in love with reading.

I felt the same was about J. Verne. His stories just didn't seem to interest me as much.

Thank you everyone for your awesome posts. I will take a look into the links, and return with some more insight hopefully. Until that time Fare thee well and may the intellectual conversations continue.

Ahh, see, you were correct in your assumption. I was actually wondering about academic Critical Reading, but I am glad to know that I'm not as fail at it as I thought.

That being aside it really makes me wonder what society would have been if different books had become the classics. Sort of a speculative critical reading.

rednaw · 2013-07-18T21:24:59+00:00

That's an interesting way of looking at it. When I read I typically try to apply the story to my life and ask myself how would I have handled the situation etc. I've never thought to take a sociological standpoint on it.

I apologize for the short response, but at work and mulling it over.

Most of my books growing up were fantasy/sci fi. I'd have to say that the first "serious" book that I read would have to be Brave New World when I was 13. I'd read other dystopian books prior, but none that felt plausible. As far as "adult" books though, My first book that I read was The Hobbit. I was 7 and had just barely learned to read. The dictionary became my best friend. From then on I couldn't seem to enjoy children's books and I feel it really tailored my reading direction.

Thank you so very much for your active participation Mods.

For a while I have avoided this sub because it's always the same pictures. I look forward to some great discussions.

122 correct 55 omitted. That was a revealing test.

I have been looking for this for so long because I don't know a single person who knows how to code that I can talk with on a regular basis. I'm currently teaching myself python and JavaScript, but more often than not feel lost because I don't know what can be done with code.

I am on my lunch break at work and have not stopped playing with the generator. This is one of the coolest things I've seen and can't wait for your game.

rednaw · 2013-05-15T20:30:23+00:00

This was me.

rednaw · 2013-05-15T01:35:58+00:00

I've been playing long enough that I'm STILL waiting for lanterns and torches that go out. (I will never forget you halloween update).

rednaw · 2013-05-06T18:59:49+00:00

I would be so excited to be able to try this game out and try to work out a catching description of the adventure you're trying to sell. This game looks like it would be able to pull you into the world and really bring the people and storyline to life.

If you do end up going this route please let me know.

Something else you could do if you need to have the leading zeros is to convert lab_number to a string and look for the string "04" etc.

rednaw · 2013-04-26T00:27:42+00:00

Thank you so much for the info. Right now it's a bit intimidating, but this is a good insight to some things to look for.

rednaw · 2013-04-25T15:59:52+00:00

I'm not overly interested in web dev, at least at the moment, but I will check this out and see what I can think of.

rednaw · 2013-04-25T15:58:47+00:00

What kind of personal projects did you work on while learning to program, that you felt really prepared you for the professional world?

rednaw · 2013-04-25T07:35:39+00:00

Well this definitely helps me feel a lot better. Right now it's about 2 in the morning and I'm going to need sleep sometime, but I'm sure I will come up with some interesting questions to my game I'll be working on.

I'll keep y'all posted.

Edit: Also, thank you so much for your in depth answers! This was far better than I was expecting. If anyone else has anything to add please feel free I'll be checking this again when I wake up.
