A few weeks ago, I started a small webpage for myself, mostly a blog with a lil bit of info about me.. anyways, I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of common computer questions that I get as a quick reference to give people when I'm busy and they ask easy questions. I scribbled out a crappy version for now (curchin.org/faq). The list isn't that big right now, but if anyone would like to give me ideas for things to add/change, that would be

I've been wanting an iPod for a while now, but being a student, I have no money. Until last week when I got a job as a Teaching Assistant for a second year programing class. The pay is great, and it isn't a whole lot of work.

I've been very reluctant to try firefox after being accustomed to using IE for such a long time. Also, I had a bad experience of using an earlier version on mozilla at school, which was very very slow at loading pages.

I finally decided to give it a try. I just didn't feel that I deserved to consider myself a geek and read slashdot if I didn't at least try to stray from microsoft in the browser department..

I have 5 more gmail invites to give away to slashdot readers. Leave a reason as to why you would like an invite, and your email addy. It is very important to leave your email address, as this is how the invite will be sent to you. Several people who I would have liked to give accounts to last time did not leave their email address. The contest will end this weekend(saturday, or so depending on how busy I am).

The contest has come to an end. My g/f picked the winners--for reasons unknown to me. Many of you did not leave email addys, so were unable to win!

I will be giving more invites sometime this or next week. These invites will be given the same way as the last.

The contest winners are as follows:
RayDude
Samtihen2
Lachlan76
Citizen132
KjetilK

If you won, and have not got an invite in your inbox, send me an email.

I have just got a few new gmail invites, and have about 5 left that need homes. If you would like one, post a comment to this thread telling me why you would like one. Also include your email addy. I should be picking winners this weekend as long as there have been people that want them.

Well, this being my first post in my Journal, I thought I'd post a bit of information about myself. So here it is ;)

I'm a third year computer science major, doing a business administration minor at the University of Guelph in Ontario. I'm really liking the program so far, and have a love for programming.
