About daychilde
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.

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…
