About daychilde

I can be reached at daychilde@gmail.com or 850.303.0700.

Seeking an internship or entry-level position. I speak PHP and Python.

I've been a computer enthusiast since 1987; on the internet since 1994; creating and hosting websites since 1997; with my own dedicated servers since 2004. I've been programming in PHP since 2004 (not full-time) and Python since spring 2009. I'm competent in HTML and CSS; I do alright in Photoshop.

I interned in 2009 with the US Forest Service, writing a Python front end to a framework also written in Python; and worked on a couple of web applets in PHP (with JS that I did modify a little) that displayed smoke and weather data.

I have previous technical experience - helpdesk, web design, some programming. I'm working towards getting my Bachelor's in Computer Science, but it's slow going.

Seattle is a bonus, but not a huge deal.

    If you have nothing to lose, you probably can't afford lawyers in the first place. Not quite your point, I know, but it seems to apply here.

    Go to options and change "difficulty" from "peaceful" to something else.

    Very close guess on the scale - each block is a cubic meter.

    Why not make "Go to my profile" the clickable link? I'm tempted to suggest the next logical extension would be "Go to my profile: click here <-- HEY! That was the link!" :-S

    He missed an apostrophe that you didn't catch: "important person's cat", i.e. a cat owned by someone who would be vocally unhappy their pet was killed. This assumes that the dosage…

    I think a little more security is needed for this to be any sort of "viable"... So I suppose I'd argue that this definitely is not MVP. OTOH, they themselves seemed to have said it…

    If it's true that 97% of businesses want to do it again - it seems that Groupon really isn't in much danger.

    I very much agree that's the practical pool of possible coin values. Seems to me if one wanted to simplify the system, a good solution would be (1, 5, 10, 50). This would really ma…
