New Member :D 8) :lol:

I think it might be time to give me a title :P

[U53D]

How bout that girls phone number that you didnt get last night :lol: :lol: :lol:

[sti deede]

How about the the girl you gave your number that isn't going to call you. :shock:

[U53D]

No no... you got it all wrong... he gave them the SECCS forum link to the website :lol: :lol: :lol: Makes me feel a little better about myself

[MikeSTI]

How bout that girls phone number that you didnt get last night :lol: :lol: :lol:If you forget young one I dont need thier number. I can get it anytime I need it :P I do hope they come to Matts party but if not nothing I cant fix by going to the bar real fast to get others :lol: ......you can come with me U53D........oh wait your 17 8)

Damn.. i keep forgetting im not a man :lol:

[tysonK]

master technician is kinda cool sounding.

Bwhahaha....I must have missed this one.

[MikeSTI]

I still have a long way to go before I can really be as good a whore as you :D :lol: :lol: slowly geeting there though 8)

[ArthurS]

I have slowed down. I am only 700 posts ahead of Matt and Scott has a good 1400 posts above me. :shock:

[Kevin M]

w00t! Post 1000! Yay me! 8)

[tysonK]

when it comes to message boards you don't mess around do you Kevin.

[ArthurS]

I'll challenge him.... :twisted:

ok post your boards and how many posts you have on each!

[ArthurS]

I'll do that tomorrow....mind you i started posting as of 2001 when i got my subie and i shouldbe well over 15,000

[Kevin M]

My total posts from all Subaru related boards are in the neighborhood of 12,000 (nearly 8000 on i-club). And I didn't start posting at all until November of 2002...

[AtomicLabMonkey]

I guess I'm in this club too... I didn't even realize. :lol:

[Nick Koan]

halfway there!

[MikeSTI]

is that like being half a man :lol: j/k :P

[Nick Koan]

halfway there!

Bump!

Got it. Woot.

[MattR]

haha.

[Dean]

Damn, I'm at 1700+. How did that happen? :twisted:

[dknv]

It happens faster in the off-season... :lol:

[Nick Koan]

It happens faster in the off-season... :lol:

And when I get a job that allows me to sit in front of a computer all day :lol:

And when I get a job that allows me to sit in front of a computer all day :lol:Yep. You're well on your way to carpel-tunnel syndrome, excessive radiation to the eyes & brain, and mindless drivel on the intarweb to occupy every extra thinking moment. :lol:

[Nick Koan]

I already gots me all of that from college. :lol:

[sybir]

Best 5 years of my life!

Wow! You must have been on the express plan, I took 6 :D

[Nick Koan]

I think Scott took close to 10 years.

[AtomicLabMonkey]

I think Scott took close to 10 years.

Not quite, but our buddy Glen was seriously there for close to 8 I think. Of course, he came out with a Master's.. Scott only had a Bachelor's to show for his 6-7 year tour. :P

Getting out of UCSC in 5 years was a record, judging by the amount of professional students there :lol:

Eep. Halfway there, I need to post(whore) more :D

I was in school for 6 years. However, I never did summer school, I took a quarter off to work at U. Iowa, and the last two years I was a part-time student because I had a full-time job as a software engineer.

Plus the "normal" 4 year tour is 4 years * 3 quarters = 12 quarters total.

The "realistic" tour is 5 years * 3 quarters + say 3 summer quarters = 18 quarters total.

I did 3 years * 3 quarters + 1 year * 2 quarters + 2 years * 3/2 quarters = 14 quarters, so I was actually somewhere faster than average.

Also, I learned in college how to use logic to justify just about any premise. :P

[MikeSTI]

all you highly edgeubacated folks in da house :lol:

school > me = ITT for teh win!!!!!

but then again I still got out of ITT in 15 months instead of the 18 required 8)

College is overrated for its educational benefits, I've learned far more about my job at my job. Lots of college, makes you good at going to college, not necessarily good at what you're studying to do.

However, college is not overrated for its fun. :D

College is overrated for its educational benefits, I've learned far more about my job at my job.

I guess it depends on which field you're in. Working in HVAC design, I learned almost everything I needed to know to do my job at the job itself. At this job, I've used much more of the engineering fundamentals I learned in my 200 & 300 level classes in school. Just last week I had to break out the ole' statics book to check myself on some load calcs.

I've also found that school gave me enough of a background level of knowledge to have a "feel" for a lot of stuff I see. I haven't retained enough on most subjects to immediately know how to solve a problem or know the perfect design approach off the top of my head, but it's usually enough for me to think "hmm, vibration in this area might be a problem, I wonder how that would affect the clamping force of this joint over time", or "hmm, I wonder how this nearby heat source might affect the yield strength of this alloy" - and then go research further for some actual facts.

Cal Poly gave me the ability to learn pretty much any programming language in a few days, and gave me the knowledge to apply problem solving logic with that language.

However, it's on-the-job experience that makes me a good software engineer. Having the tools is necessary, but being able to apply them quickly and elegantly is what makes me good at my job, and that's not something that Cal Poly taught me.

What about all those extra hours that you do? My share options thank you!! :P :lol:

Just because I can write programs quickley, doesn't mean I don't end up with tons of work to do. :P

[MikeK]

You need to be like me, and only do 15 minutes of actual real work a week

Isn't that the truth.

[tysonK]

I've forgot everything I "learned" in college already.

I can't even remember what most of my teachers looked like. I can't name more than like 3 elective classes I took.

friggin sad.
