Love my job

I aboslutely love it here. This morning, a collegue and I were discussing mud tires for this truck, and then about five minutes later another guy and I were talking about a new program that Microsoft is releasing (Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003 for those that care). Anyways, I didn't really realize this but we have access (legally) to any Microsoft product they have released. This means that as soon as .net 2003 came out, we have access to it. So he went out and started downloading it. I was so excited. I got to thinking about it, and I knew that Visual studio 6.0 was roughly around 1000 dollars, much less with student discounts (and free with connections) but I was wondering how much the Developer's Architecture version of Visual Studio .Net 2003 was...so i looked. Believe it or not, with no questions asked, I was able to get a copy of this program free of charge that would normally cost 2500 DOLLARS...that's right folks 2500 dollars. and i got it for free....a legal copy...no cracks...no warez...straight from microsoft's website. i love my job

and right now.... jason is desperate to get some
decent art proggie on his home pc....

i wish i knew what all that jazz is you are talking
about... but i refuse to get all bunched up
everytime MS brings out a new BS proggie.

tell tell tell.... what does this shit do?

[GravyTrain]

this shit allows me to create enormous projects....programs...and other executables either web-based...or stand alone...in several different languages including Visual Basic, C/C++, and the new C# that Microsoft has introduced. I am about to create a web-based app using this new technology (although I already have Microsoft Visual Studio .Net) when I get it installed on my computer to keep up with all the employees here at computer works and allow all of us to update our whereabouts at any location that has internet access. This is our way of keeping up with where everyone is, and eventually it will become nearly an automated secretary. This will then be available for purchase to other companies, we will sell the product, they will pay us, I will retire by age 25...basically that is about it.


and i know the program that Jason is requesting I think...Adobe Photoshop...which I do have access to, but have not been able to get my hands on it here lately, I did promise him a copy of it, and just to let him know, i have not forgotten.

[SHATOUSHKA]

that stuff sounds really interesting... though
i'm too stupid to really understand exactly what
you are saying.
nothing wrong being a computer geek, though.

and yeah... because he hasn't got any proggie
at home... has caused ALOT of hold-up on some
major HB projects.

thanks, gt

I would like to know of these proggies you speak of. there are several other programs out there though that are much much better than photoshop....he should look into some of those. i know of someone who has such a program.

[SHATOUSHKA]

this has also been brought up.
i think he wants photoshop because he is more
familiar with how to use it... than the others.

butta.... aside from jason, let me know of
someone with such a proggie... i'm interested. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[GravyTrain]

i'm not sure if this person wants to be advertised ....and why in the world do you refer to programs as proggies? is it your own special way of annoying the hell out of me? the first time or two..i was like hey, that's kind cool to shorten it, but i've had enough....(this is all said in a semi-playful way). they are programs. executables if you perfer that... i would be happy with .exe's or even just .exe ok...**steps down from soap box.

if this person ever visits and reads the thread, i think he will know who i am talking about....and he might not...he might not even have such a .exe (pronounced "DOT E-X-E").

[SHATOUSHKA]

i shall never refer to them as EXCUTABLES...
thats friggin gay.

thats like calling a soda... 'drinkables'
or calling books... 'readables'

no fuckin way

[GravyTrain]

that is what they are....you don't call sodas drinkables...because that is not what they are....the files are called executables...that is what they are...they aren't proggies either...
