killswitch92 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 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.

Yorak Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Add me on Skype (TheCerebralPunk) if you want. I love talking about tech topics when I am not plotting world domination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWDweller Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 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.

devBrian Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 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.

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.

Hardcore Til I Die Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 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.
