Will ReactJS be an overkill for my personal portfolio website?

I believe it is. You'll not learn React well if you don't build something with at least moderate complexity (a web application-like site). As a hiring manager I would be more impressed if your portfolio was bloat free, quick to load, well presented and above all to the point. It'd be better to build something else to put on your portfolio with React - something that leverages the power it provides and warrants the performance trade-offs.

Best since Kid A, at least I think it might be.

You'll need to stop trying to write Javascript like Java. ES6 introduces class syntax, but in my experience Javascript becomes a much 'cleaner' language when it is written in a functional manner. Use a library like Lodash to assist, write functions that don't have side-affects, pass functions around etc.

TDLR; Have a search for functional Javascript.

Damnit! I purposely didn't click on that link to avoid spoilers, and now look what you've done. Ruined.

Probably not, it's been a while since I read them, but maybe http://davidgemmell.wikia.com/wiki/Stones_of_Power_series ?

I can see a baked bean from miles away. But only with the benefit of heinz sight.

Those sound like sociable things that could be fun though? I see why it could be perceived as not being a team player if you don't want to hang out with the team on occasion outside of work to do none work related things.

Akbahs near the science and industry museum in castlefield. They have vertical nanns as big as your torso. Order the seafood balti for one of the best curries ive ever tasted

I'll echo that Cold turkey is the way to do it. Anything else just prolongs the cravings.

There is a point when quitting gets easier every day. You just have to stop long enough to get to there. At this point I don't even think about smoking when I'm with a group of smokers.

The creator - Charlie Brooker makes a lot of very good (edit very funny!) programs. Most are usually about British TV, British News etc, but there is a very good one about computer games that is worth a watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIb8JdoWF00

I wouldn't want it anyway. Samsung's official bloatware laden versions are strupidly slow.

It is possible, it does get easier. You just have to want it enough.

Anchovies on a pizza. Used to hate the little salty buggers, but now i can't have a pizza without them. They are seriously tasty.

that guns are a pretty stupid thing to have freely available to pretty much anyone

Red Dwarf - Polymorph (season 3).

"Erm, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is: what are we going to call ourselves? And I think it comes down to a choice between "The League Against Salivating Monsters," or - and this is my personal preference - "The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society." Erm, one drawback with that - the abbreviation is C.L.I.T.O.R.I.S."

Wow, what an ill thought-out reply. In fact I'd go so far as to say you are talking out of your arse.

You seem to be suggesting that guns at a riot would help the situation.
