I feel really, really happy today.  I started my new (intern) job at Wal-Mart ISD in the ACSM.  Don't ask me what the acronym stands for, something like "Automated Customer Service Machines."  Basically I work with the other members of the team on all the kiosks in the Wal-Mart stores that the customers can go up to and poke.  Gift registry, photolab, giftcard, and etc.

I get my own cubicle and EVERYTHING.  Though I don't have any programs on my computer station yet, so I have to do all my code in Notepad.  I also spend my time using Outlook to message my friends who are also interning at different levels.

I assume that soon my enthusiasm for being a programmer will level off and drop some, but I am content till then.

Walmart is evil, I prefer working with the sea instead.

HTML so far.  A little lame, but when I get my programs and devkits, I will be working with Javascript and Visual Basic.

VB = teh ebil!

JavaScript = cool, particularly if you use jQuery.

I could not program without syntax highlighting, it would be like writing in a dark room with sunglasses on.

There is a difference between Javascript, and Java.

Javascript is pretty noobish. Slightly harder than HTML, but still noobish.

Java however, can be kinda challenging.

VB is pretty easy overall.

I know the difference between the two.  :p  I've programmed in both.  VB is very easy overall, hence the noobishness.
