    Great Day For Me: VS Free and Paycheck

    Today was a great day for me.

    First Visual Studio 2005 arrived at my house, which I got for free from the promotional from watching three ASP.NET videos.

    And my first paycheck fro my first job.

    Just thought I'd let you guys know, since I normally don't post things like this.

    Jeez, I got that about a year ago. I think the 2005 Version is better (even the Express Version) because it's FREE this year.

    Yea I missed it when it was first offered, then I heard they extended it, and jumped on it.

    I though the package was for my dad, but I opened it up and it just made my day, then I went to work, in a good mood for the first time since I started lol.

    www.vbforums.com has a link to 101 MS programs in their NET forum. Most of them worked great!

    Thank you very much.

    My sister always gets the freebies, post it stamps with her name and stuff like, but this tops all that

    The jobs pretty fun, except for some customers. I work in the Deli of the grocery store, but thats not too bad. I need the job so I can go to college, most likely for computer science or something of that nature.

    Congratulations! Keep up the enthusiasm.
    quoted from C++ Coding Standards:

    KISS (Keep It Simple Software):
    Correct is better than fast. Simple is better than complex. Clear is better than cute. Safe is better than insecure.

    Avoid magic number:
    Programming isn't magic, so don't incant it.
