Hedgehog Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 As far as work I've been able to get software jobs when I was grossly under qualified before I was even going to university because i can talk :lol:. As far as work goes follow something that interests you that isn't where most people are going and make sure that you devote enough time to be good at it. I've known guys who set up a bot farm on [a popular free mmo that most of us have heard of] and developed their database knowledge, client-server knowledge, programming knowledge enough to land themselves pretty decent jobs. But then again they spent 12 hours a day programming for a year to get there.I could probably do the job I have now with just the experience I got from [bleep]ing around with web dev projects while playing rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arceus Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 So Skype's application version (which I don't like anyway - I prefer a regular sized window) is dropping support tomorrow. I got the Skype for Desktop version and it seems it deleted half my contacts? They're showing up as question marks and no information...bloody hell, Microsoft. Has anyone had a similar experience or know anyway to fix it other than re-requesting everyone? "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

stevepole Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 My rough untechnical guess is that if your contacts are reading as ?s, Skype is reading your list of contacts from a file on your machine that contains a bunch of dead links? Maybe try digging for it and see if you can fix it? Also happy late-late 4th of July my fellow Americans. I spent the day drinking on the beach before heading to a bar with a bunch of babes, cause Merica'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Not all of them, just some. And hmm I have no idea where to find said file. I'll try searching later.

stevepole Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I would imagine if it exists, it'd be in some core directory that contains your user profile data. I would try to poke around myself and be more specific for what to look for but 1. I'm on a Mac and 2. I no longer have Skype, but in all honesty it's probably faster to just re-request friends.

Arceus Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Well, I told it to make a backup of contacts and poof everything restored itself. So now I'm happy :-D. 1 "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for." Can games be art? --- My blog here if you want to check out my Times articles and other writings!

The_Gabe Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I haven't posted in a while. I'm currently in Israel. Had a group trip here and now I'm just extending to see family. I found out last night that some of my ancestors were expelled from Spain in 1492 during in the inquisition. Thought it was really cool. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out last night that some of my ancestors were expelled from Spain in 1492 during in the inquisition. Thought it was really cool.Well my ancestors on my father's side came from France as mercenaries to fight in the American Revolution and as a result were awarded land in what is now West Virginia. And my Oma (grandmother) swears her family had ties to a criminal organization in Germany pre-WWII (not related to Nazis, good thing!). Beat that!

RpgGamer Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Mine were part of the polish resistance as far as my grandmoms side. My granddads side came over (to America) when Russia started going to shit at the turn of the 20th century and then he fought in Wwii for the american army, and liberated dechau.

So there :PMy grandmother's uncle (I believe, it was a while since I last heard the story) was killed by the Nazis in front of her and her family when he refused to fight for them. He was, if I remember correctly, a great pilot. YEA MY FAMILY REBELLED AGAINST THE NAZIS ON THEIR TURF AND DIDN'T GET BRAINWASHED. BOOYAH. Also if the American Revolutionaries had lost (and they would've most likely without the French, including my ancestors), there would have been no World War II as we know it. Thus, the American Revolution is more important. QED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
