OK, I admit it, I got lazy. I never really kept up with posting my various programs from De Anza. In fact, I didn't change this during a whole school year at Yeshiva University. I switched majors from Engineering, of a then undecided flavor, to Computer Science!!! Of course every time I tell people this, they say something to the effect of, "Smart move, did it for the money, eh?" NO!!! I did it because I like computers, always have, and always will, except during those brief (albeit frequent) moments of frustration. Though I previously had little experience programming, I have found that it is something that I not only enjoy, but I'm also halfway decent at.
So anyways, this past year (99-00) I took a ton of CS classes, including:
This year (00-01) I am taking/have taken the following CS classes:
This past summer (00) I worked for SurroMed, Inc., a blood diagnostics company in Palo Alto, CA. I wrote an image viewer that had some specific, but limited, editting capabilities. I used MFC (something I didn't know at all before starting), which works on top of C++ (something I know decently). It's a bit difficult, but definately a learning experience.
This coming school year (00-01), I will be a senior (yay!!!) at YU, and I'll be taking several more CS classes (see above), as well as the remaining general requirements needed to graduate.
And now, I plan to provide something useful! Can you believe it?!?!? Me neither. Anyways, in my relatively large numbers of years using computers, I've gained a fair amount of experience, both in hardware and software. I've often found myself being called upon by friends, family, and friends of family for help. A lot of problems are simple, and a lot of problems can easily be avoided, and it is to that end that I have set up my Computer Zone webpage. Go there. Now!
You may be wondering why I stuck one ad on this page and the same one my homepage, and no others. The reason is that AllAdvandage.com is a nifty offer. They are actually willing to pay you to surf the web. (And of course they pay me for everyone who surfs the web who signed up from my page, so go ahead and click on their banner now, before you forget.) But anyhow, it is a deal worth at least looking into, and if you are concerned about their legitimacy, I happen to know some of the people involved in the company, and it really is for real. So check it out!
Well, I don't know if I feel quite the same anymore. AllAdvantage just changed the rules. They reduced the number of hours per month that they will pay their users to surf, and only raised the hourly "wage" a tiny amount. It wasn't the best of deals before, and not it downright stinks. To make matters worse, I am awaiting word on a check that has yet to arrive from a month or two ago. What do you think? Let me know.
