What date?
I'm turning 22 this October, too. 
But everyone I've met the first time said I look like a 16-year-old girl.
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

The 4th. Seems like us youngsters are overtaking, Brisingr Aerowing isn't any older IIRC.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Maybe we can ask him.
Even the OP is just 17. Just 4 years older.

Sure we can. @Brisingr_Aerowing, please answer the Lady's question.

No, no .. All the best people were born on October. 
So, are you also born on October 4?

It's all about focus and motivation. If you can focus 100% on what you do and feel strongly motivated to do it, you can do anything. 
Whatever you can do, or believe you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

You know how, when you lose your virginity, somebody just has to ask "was it good for you?" ? Well, that's what your question is like. If you have to ask, then you know it's not. Ah. I guess I just answered my question.

Emotional Quotient is a lot more important than Intelligence Quotient.
Just remember that when in a few years you ask:
"If I'm so smart, why am I not rich?"

You may remember I posted recently asking about some networking and cctv equipment (this post[^])
Anyway, I purchased the gear, installed it, and wrote about it here; I've Got My Eye On You.........A Journey Into Home CCTV and a Wireless Bridge[^]
Must say, I do like the Ubiquiti gear. Considering one of their EdgeRouters next as an option.
Also, been flicking through the captured video, and we have a regular visitor to the garden, a hedgehog, usually appears around midnight and spends a couple of hours wandering around!
It was an interesting project!

Perhaps this would be a cool thing to use some image processing with, to count how many times it's in your garden and then it can render a fancy bar chart of visitation times

Interesting(?) thing that reminded me of.
My father was experimenting with signal degradation, back in the day. In order to degrade a signal over time, he had two disk recorders (we're talking pre tape recorders here, not CDs, these recorded sound direct to magnetic disk pre the disk drive!)
Anyhow. So, he recorded himself saying something like "Hello There!", and set the machines to record A->B then record that from B->A. The idea was to measure the degradation over time, see how much degradation would still be understandable etc.
You can imagine that, after a few iterations, there was pretty much a garbled "Mwaaa MWaaa" sound.
He set it to play in a loop, to record many copies to the other machine, and left it going.
When he remembered it, evening had come, he went and switched it off, but the noise didn't stop.
When he went to shut the curtains, outside the window, pressed up quite closely, were many (I don't recall how many, but like more than half a dozen) hedgehogs, all making a similar noise!
He repeated the experiment at different times, and found that it always attracted hedgehogs.
As kids we loved it, as he would play the sound for an hour or two before our bedtimes, and we could go out and put saucers of milk for them.
Happy Days!

Apparently they shouldn't drink milk, it gives them the sh!ts. Also fish based cat food isn't too good for them either. Just saying!

yeah - well, surely they eat milk - they're mammals after all. And those spines are great for catching small fish - they just jump in a stream and come up with lunch!
... or have I been listening to 'would I lie to you?'?

Wow. I certainly have a different sense of humor than you do.

I hope we are different in a lot more than that

For example, taking a stab here, if I work in Ruby on Rails, everyone uses GitHub, TTD, Agile to the extreme (ie, short stories, sprints, etc.), lots of refactoring, little overall thought to architecture and maintainability, minimal or no code documentation, and so forth.
If I work in C#, probably TFS, probably less emphasis on TDD, possibly more up-front design, less Agile principles, possibly more "milestone" oriented, code reviews rather than peer programming, etc.
What's your experience, especially if you're working just in Javascript (for example, node.js), or other languages (Python, VB, C++, and so forth.)

Only if you let it. I have been on an agile project where we used mostly Javascript. Go figure. 
I think it all depends on the development team.
Sure some people get caught up in a development ethos, but that does not have to follow from the use of a language.
