Yeah but sometimes you want physical contact and to acutally hear the comfort of another voice....

Alcohol usually introduces me to other people :p

Well even an online buddy would do for me. I tried talking with people online but most people I talk to end up being stuck up. And any irc server I go on all anyone does is idle. My pc sucks so the newest game I can play is half life 2 lol.

That's what I was saying forums for, I could sit on Neowin all day if I liked and never run out of people to talk to

....oh wait... :p

You should join Neowin IRC. :)

Sent you a PM. :)

I agree with the sentiment here, I am often alone in my Web development adventures, sometimes need a bounce ideas off of person as well, but can never find anyone to talk to about it which is more than just a public forum.

lol not much going on down there... Wheeling isn't much better. You DO have a RAX Resturant down there though. The one in wheeling closed down years ago :cry:

CRAX is what people at school called it and they still call it that... it's so gross. I went to the one on south side and it made me throw up. I threw up right outside the door it was grossssss!!!! I just had a medium sized roast beef with cheese and some curly fries and a water. All that was given back to them at the door LOL. They can keep it.

and that's the only association you have with my town LOL

I'm a pseudo-web developer (I know basic jQuery and some PHP but I primarily just alter Wordpress/ExpressionEngine), but I'm looking to branch out into general programming and software development, for the purpose of creating games (yeah, just like everyone else...)

If you want to take the e-course CS50 from Harvard with me, I'm looking for some people(s) to group up with and work on the problem sets with. I find these kind of things are more enjoyable when done with a group.

Check out http://www.cs50.tv for more info.

Add me on Skype if you're interested :) dettygt is my username.

I use to get a RAX roast beef deluxe once or twice a week when I was younger. They were always really good... The only time I've ever been to Parkersburg was just to stop and get gas on the way back from Tennessee. There?s not really much of a reason to drive the hundred miles to get there. All you have there is that mall and some little shops and if I'm going to drive for that long I am better off going to Pittsburgh. So yeah, that?s the only thing I associate Parkersburg with.

My advice: know your audience!

You can make friends without having to bore non-techies to tears with in depth geeky stuff :p I find it easy to make friends even though I'm a geek. A lot of people don't mind talking about smartphones, for example, but don't necessarily want to talk about Windows 7 vs. 8!

Geeky jokes work well too, like I wrote a macro in VB that opens a yes/no message box asking if the person smells, and it keeps reopening until they click yes. :D

It helps to have varied interests too of course. If your life mainly revolves around one hobby you're going to find it hard to find people with similar interests. Try and find other things you like doing too.
