As is so common in the past 25 years of my life, I have a great plan, things are going good, I am enjoying my time, and I am working toward a goal. Then what happens? Life! As my last blog post said I was a very short time from posting my first program on my website. That time frame that I layed out has come and gone. Still no program to post. Why?
I have been searching for employment and education. That is a noble pursuit if I do say so myself, but it recently intesified and consumed rather large amounts of time. I have actually found both linked very nicely together in the form of a German Ausbildung (rough translation = apprenticeship). To find this though I have gone through numerous cross-country trips for interviews, taken countless online test, written 100's of e-mails, and done the other needed things that go with an intense and extrememly large employment search. Now for the next problem.
I have been working, learning, and playing with the Java programming language. The job I found does not use Java so once again I will be changing languages. That means that I will be starting over with my learning and must there-fore push back the release of my first pointless program for the website.
If you don't know there are countless different Programming Langauges in the world. Each one with a general purpose. Without employment it is very VERY hard to pick out which language to learn. Everyone has their own opinion what is important to learn, know, and love. Everyone also says that the others are wrong. I have started to learn numerous Programming Languages over the year, only to stop and move on to another cause some knowing force in the computer world told me that I was on the wrong one. Finally I have employment and education in the Software field. Finally I have someone to give me a reason (by way of a pay check) to actually finish learning a language. They won't tell me that I am learning the wrong one cause they are the ones telling me which one to learn.
As for the website I don't know what will happen with it in the near future. I might just continue with my persuit of Java just for my own personal gains. I also might not. I think it is safe to say at this point "To be continued......"
Enjoy!
