Hey, so, the "Band of the week!" thing in your sig is awesome. I really like the concept of showcasing a band in your sig each week.
Thanks! I like to promote bands, especially the ones who are just starting up. I think I might add links to get their EPs/CDs that they offer for free. (Links to paid ones too to help support them lol)
I work 8 hours every weekday as a web developer. Today, I'm working on making a website better than it's old shitty version. Check it out: Original / New (WIP)
Nice job on the newer version; it looks a lot better imo.
Luckily, I have a contact in Raven Software where I want to eventually work. I also have a friend who's starting a Creative Concepts company. So I will have a job in programming or at least Game Design/Development overall. As for college I'm thinking Full Sail University.
The company that my friend wants to start will be based on game programming, but I'm torn between that and enterprise software development :\
I help others with programming projects (I also have my own) and make websites for myself to see what I can do from time to time. My friends and I are thinking of making a company sometime where we would try to make some money and split it... (If we don't make over USD$3,000 per year, we don't have to pay taxes )
As for colleges, I'm seriously looking into Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL because they have a course there that, after 5 years, gives you a masters in Software Engineering and a bachelors of science in Computer Engineering. Between your third and fourth, and fourth and fifth years the course has you intern at businesses that specialize in developing software, so that's a bonus.
EDIT: Here's the course I was talking about, if you're interested.
EDIT2: I'm only going into my junior year of high school, but from the course I've taken/will take, it looks like I'll be able to skip most classes for freshman year if I go there >.>
Okay, um... In yours, at the end of its header section, it says "filesize - 57". Wouldn't that be the same as where in mine it says "Data Section + 19"? Because the 74 bytes before the data section plus the 2 from the checksum is 76. Then 76 minus 57, from yours, is +19. It's a dumb question lol, I'm just checking.
@ephan, I tried their tables but they weren't very in-depth, unless I was looking at the wrong ones. By numerical value, do you mean like if the program was >DMS>DMS then the data section would be 01-01, so that value would be 2? Or is it just the length of the DataSection?
@Michael_Lee, thanks! I'll try doing everything that way when I get back to my computer. Just a question though... Isn't the part where it says "final size - 57" the same as Data Section + 19 (76, 74 bytes before the Data Section and the checksum, minus that 57)?
I have a document (I can't remember where I got it from) and I was just wondering if it is 100% accurate. If it is, can someone explain the checksum? Thanks.
