i'm not learning anything

that's why i'm on blogger right now rather than paying attention to the program written on the board.

Execute NewEmployee

While you don't have to, you may want to call that "procNewEmployee". We wouldn't want them to get the wrong idea after all.

15 Minutes of My Life Lost

Note to self: Never change a variable that you are using in a conditional.  I know better, I was just in a hurry.  Starting over in a new programming language is difficult; so much current knowledge gets in the way of learning the "proper way" of doing things.

Whose idea was it to make C# case sensitive?

No, seriously.  Even with IntelliSense (which frankly makes me feel quite useless) I have a hard time remembering to not type "radius" when I declared the variable as "Radius".  And what does it matter anyway?  I miss the automatic formatting of VBA.  Maybe I should try VB.Net.  Although I have a feeling that I would be bored to tears for the entire course.  Which begs another question: how difficult should a programmers first language be.  I'm sure that know BASIC made SQL scripting a breeze for me.  (But that was also a result of being able to think through problems logically.)  I'm also sure that if I had learned C along time ago, C#, Javascript, etc... would all be a breeze for me.  And I would probably be earning 2x to 3x my current salary.

And a new semester begins

Had I been a smart child, I would have learned C when I was younger. But no, there were pointers and I didn't like them. So now I am faced with OOP long past the time my bran wants anything new. (Ignore the previous post.)

Zero Interest in LAN Management

I'm beginning to think that the problem is not that networking is difficult, but that I have absolutely no interest in it. As long as the computers are communicating I don't really care how it happens. Alternatively it could be that I am just tired of trying to reset my router.

TCP/IP Kicks My Butt

We were doing all well and good until we got to the network and tranport layers. And things in the wonderful world of networking just started falling apart. I had an easier time doing the calculations for transmission efficiency. Hopefully LAN basics will go better; I have subnetting to work on.
