OK, I'm done playing.

Ok. I'm done. I've got the new camera, but its time to get back on task: programming. To reiterate the goal: to be a competent programmer in Java and Ruby. I am defining competent as an ability to excecute a good design over small and medium sized applications preferably via the Web. Or, not be a complete idiot when I want to start making money via code again.

But this is the hard thing for me, what to start with. I've got some compeletly useless advice from many folks, including "go find an open source project and start chaning things". Wow, that may work for you, but not for me. Espically when it comes to Ruby, Java may be, but tell me how to find a list of Java projects on SourceForge. I couldn't do it.

So, I'm going to find stupid little assignment from intro to programming courses like this one. Now this will only work for a while and maybe in a few weeks it won't meke sense to still be using the little assignment, but I need to get the ball rolling and this seems to be a better idea. Comments?

Oh yeah, earlier this morning I did take some photos with my new lens. Here is a sample and link to Flikr:

Done.

Here my solution for the first problem:

def fprint
print "enter a number between 0 and 5 \n"
x = STDIN.gets
print "thanks, you entered "
print x
end

fprint

Now I'm sure there is another solution, but I'm moving on to problem 2.

Now I know why the previous code looked funny. Instead of two print lines I want "print "thanks you entered " + x.

Phew! that wat buging me.
