Be sure to share your opinion after you try it.

It seems universe metaphor didn’t come out of nowhere. :)

This seems like it could be great, I will have to give it a try. At varsity while I was learning SQL for the first time, I actually had a friend who said – ‘..the day I understand this stuff is the day I rule the universe’.

One on C is on my todo list, but as it will practically require me to write a new compiler, don’t hold your breath.

The professor’s “That’s wrong” expression made me laugh. It’s amazing how a little humor can turn learning into an entertaining experience.

Now, if only there’s something like this for JAVA… :p

Glad you like it. :)

On time zones it’s hard to say what reduces reaction time. While I match with some people that work when it’s evening her, personally I am usually first to reply on blogs in same time zone.

This app actually does seem really interesting, and I’ll probably try and check it out some time this weekend.

As to the quick replies.. I’m from canada and I’m at work at the moment. I have email and feeds open in firefox and constantly running all day. I switch back every half hour or so to see if there’s anything interesting going on.

I don’t really need SQL at moment but had this bookmarked for some time and going through lessons when I have free time. Might get handy later with WordPress and stuff.

Glad to see comment from you again. Although comments that drop so fast after post publish give me bit of being stalked feeling. Wonders of RSS I guess. :)
