Welcome to the party. You brought the pizza, didn't you? :-D

Talking of pizza. I noticed my local Pizza Hut was advertising a Ying-Yang pizza. It seems that somepeople are like me and prefer a thin crust pizza, others prefer a deep pan pizza and until now it would appear that Pizza Hut has been neglecting those poor indecisive souls who just want the best of both worlds. Now they won't even have to make up their mind - they can get both in one pizza. I'm wondering how many customers they previously lost due to indecisiveness. And how many are going to have reduced sales because they now don't have to buy two pizzas.

The interface was too confusing?

Hey all, My name is Chris, I am going into my second year of Software Engineering at St.Lawrence College in Ontario, Canada... I have been using the Code Project as a resource for a while now, and I figured that I've been ghosting around for long enough (so I signed up) Programming wise, I have a handle on most DHTML, a small grounding in C, and quite a good knowledge of VB.NET 2003. I am here looking to both improve my skills, and to learn more about the theory and logic of programming. I am also keen to get into graphics (DirectX, OpenGL, XNA) as I am an avid gamer and would love to be able to make my own 3D games. It's good to be aboard, and nice to meet you all. Thanks for the read... Chris

Oh, and maths. Gotta know maths. That's all you need to know. And some physics. And tight coding. And... Mmm, okay. Maybe beer and pizza isn't enough. BTW - don't you know that in the post Hungarian Notation .NET world, your login should be name.:-D

Well, having lived in New York and spent some time in Chicago I can certainly appreciate the dilemma, although I would imagine it gets a little spicy where the Italians and Sicilians have to interact. :-D

Those two don't fit together ;P. Good luck anyway, oh yeah, and welcome.
V. I found a living worth working for, but haven't found work worth living for.
What? VB.NET and Skills... I got mad skills at the GUI drag N drop... What exactly is wrong with easy? ;P

Welcome aboard. Your intro sounded very much like you were in a 12 step program: "Hi, my name is Chris [Hi Chris!] and I haven't touched VBScript in 3 months [woo! way to go!]" Don't mind the natives. Staring at (and sometimes talking at) the screen all day, every day makes us all a little...odd. I've got a question though: Is CodeProject used at your Uni much? If so, how? Amything specific, anything specific that would be helpful to those at University?
