Tomorrow is the day I head up to Federal Way (20 minutes out of Seattle, Washington) to attend DeVry University.
I am going for a degree in Game Design and Simulation Programming, and since it is a compressed course (lots of work in a shorter time), I will get a 4 year degree in 2 years and 8 months.
I am not sure how long I will be without the internet, since that does not come with the apartment, so undoubtedly I'll be offline for several days or weeks at least. On top of that, I am going to be needing to get a job almost as soon as I get up there to fund all this. Stack that on the large workload I am undoubtedly going to get, do not expect me to be online at all for a while after tomorrow. I may be lucky enough to find an unsecured WiFi network in the apartment complex, but I am not counting on it.
Good luck to you.
Good luck! I wish you the best.
Ditto! good luck Steeveeo. Awesome that your going into game design too.
Good luck, mate!
Ok, I managed to find an unsecured network, but considering that this whole complex is basically full of tech-savvy people, the one unsecured network is EXTREMELY slow and disconnects a LOT.
So far, the setup here with my 3 other roommates actually went rather smoothly, we have everything but TV, Internet, and a home phone line (but we all use our cells anyway, so we won't get the latter any time soon).
I start on Monday.
By the way, DeVry has a program with a bunch of software companies, called MSDN Alliance or something. Basically, for being a student at DeVry, I get to download the ISOs of a lot of popular software (LEGALLY).
Including Windows 7 (and no, I am not giving it to anyone). ;)
Students at schools not part of the MSDNA can still buy Win7 for $30 ($43 if you want a physical disc).
I have to see if DREXEL is a member.
If you get an email address from school that ends in .edu then you won't have a problem.
Good luck dude. My college is getting 7 at christmas. So am I, they freaking owe me so they said they'd get a license for me. Lawl.
Woo, finally got internet back, I AM NOT BORED ANYMORE!
Welcome back :) how are you on the internet?
Qwest (blech) DSL.
Keeps locking up at times on the browser, but it was only truly activated about 10 minutes ago, so I'll haveta see how it runs games.

A tad late for that response, don't you think?
