2nd job update	Mar. 22nd, 2004 @ 10:43 am

just got offered 40hrs a week making coffee and waffles at the airport - meeting the manager for a trial tomorrow. will probably take the job for a while at least.

should make my income ~$600 a week - debt retirement and second computer here we come!

but i'll have to make a serious effort to a) maintain my coding momentum and b) keep the waffle-generated pudge enhancement to a minimum.

i like my chances of doing a) more than b), particularly if i get to take home old stock...

JASP	Mar. 18th, 2004 @ 09:50 am

or Justin's Acronym Soup Post

decided to use the lj to chart some of my learning. not goin to do computer science at uni this year - am only able to get 6 months of austudy, then i'd have to study part time. and finish the degree in 2010. not gonna do it that way!

i'm enjoying coding way too much to consider not making it what i do for a living, so i'm considering my options.

one option is to get some money this year so i can do the degree 3 years fulltime off my own bat if i still want to do it by this time next year. so i've got some leads on a second job - should have one by this time next week.

the if comes from not knowing how well i'll go at learning more this year. there's every chance that i wont need to go to uni to become a good enough programmer/sysadmin/web developer to be employable. have learnt a lot at a rapid rate largely on my own over the last 12 months. but i now know people (thru sydney linux user groupand sydney php user group) who can help me move from knowing enough to be dangerous to knowing enough to be a real, employable geek.

this is one of the things that makes the open source community so great. nasty individuals aside, collaboration is *built in*. will have to post more about the oss community later - the more i learn the more i want to learn. it's a fascinating beast. can't think of an encapsulating metaphor or analogy yet - partly because i'm a newbie, partly because i don't think its possible to do its dynamics justice in a few sentences.

anyway, back to JASP. i've decided to try and use lj like i used wall mirrors in a gym to work on my basketball skills. i don't want this to just be a reflection of what i'm learning, but something i can use to aide in the quality of what i'm learning. practice makes perfect is *bullshit*. perfect practice makes perfect.

don't know how often, but summaries, acronyms, landmarks, acronyms, goals and acronyms will start appearing here. to kick off:

XUL: XML User Interface Language (XUL)
a markup language for describing user interfaces. With XUL you can create rich, sophisticated cross-platform web applications easily. one of my sydney php user group friends is working with this and gave me a rundown the other night/early morning via icq. its cool, and i've started making myself familiar with the basics of it.

class based rewrite of www.socialist-alliance.org:
have started rewriting www.socialist-alliance.org using php classes. classes are cool! so much more planning is needed, but so much more code re-use, and the code is so much more intuitive and therefore easily maintainable.

» can't sleep

so i made my first php class:

class form {
    var $form_name, $action, $method, $value, $submit_name;
    function open_form($method, $action, $form_name) {
        $this->form_name = $form_name;
        $this->action = $action;
        $this->method = $method;
        echo "<form method=\"$method\" name=\"branches\" action=\"$action\">\n";
    }
    function close_form($submit_name, $value) {
        $this->submit_name = $submit_name;
        $this->value = $value;
        echo "<p><input type=\"submit\" name=\"$name\" value=\"$value\">\n</form>\n";
    }
}

i've stuck my toe in the object-oriented water and i like it. time to dive in and hope this is the deep end...

» hello livejournal

hello, is there anybody* out there...

that's the primary idea motivating me to use livejournal.

so hello. i might drop by some time. i hope you'll do the same.

* interested in basketball, chess, chocolate, coding, coffee, communism, linux, mysql, open source, perl, php, programming, socialism - not necessarily in that order.
