Thanks Jonathan, it's Russian (just like me!)

@Lilyheart
However, the link I posted on Facebook today is probably my fav! http://hello.processing.org/ [tagging @KR62 even though I already tagged her on Facebook cuz this looks right up her alley]
very nice, and I saw that you're in Philly, Northeast?\
I really need to do some sort of project, just don't know what. I'm so indecisive anymore
Katya Robinson
@KatyaRobinson
Yeah, but I just moved here a couple of months ago so I'm still getting familiar with the area. I just looked up - your library meetup location is kind of close to my work so I might stop by after I get off
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
Awesome! Just a heads up that we are looking for another meetup space as the library tends to have wifi issues which can make things a struggle.

@KatyaRobinson
Side note: don't go to Chick-a-filla, I'm struggling here with internet connection...

Where did you move here from? I only guessed Northeast because there's where all the Polish and Ukranian communities are too lol I'm originally from just outside of Chestnut Hill which is North West philly

@JBC944
I guessing lily
I was going to ask jason today but he barely helps me in lab time
and I tried emailing him the question and he hasnt replied back yet
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
Guessing on what Jimmy? Oh, where to put the code? Putting it in the somename.js file and linking in a script tag is the best practices way.

They have to do something about these notification balloons lol I'm still getting notifications for messages like 10 minutes ago
Katya Robinson
@KatyaRobinson
@lantech19446 haha it was actually just a coincidence! I moved there from a beach town in Delaware after living there for 8 long years. The plan is to move closer to the Center City, hopefully next year
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
@JBC944 click this button to change your notification setting.
I suggest the "Announcements" level so you don't miss any messages that have you tagged.

sounds like fun, my sister in-law used to live right on south broad street in some beautiful apartments called 777 south broad. Just don't ever move to Havertown they're the crazy Russians down there, beautiful town beautiful houses but holy crap.
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
@KatyaRobinson what is your goal to learn? Web development? Front End? Full Stack?
Katya Robinson
@KatyaRobinson
haha crazy Russians is one of the reasons I left Russia in the first place

my exes parents are brilliant but definitely fit that category he's an award winning microbotanist she discovered a flower in some uncharted mountain in siberia and they both ran from the communists. Produced a daughter with no pain receptors who drank salvia tea every chance she got and was a master pianist before she was 13 all of them lived in havertown all of them absolutely insane.
Katya Robinson
@KatyaRobinson
@Lilyheart right now I'm concentrating on Front End but my ultimate goal is Full Stack. I've been learning JavaScript for the past few months, mostly following tutorials and going through the FreeCodeCamp curriculum

@davidjcastner
tag me if you need anything, I'm soldering not too far away from my computer
half way through this soldering project and completely regretting it
JBC944
@JBC944
I am thinking about going into front end
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
@davidjcastner you can come solder my sensors when you are done with that xD
David Castner
@davidjcastner
hahahahhahah <- that laugh is from going insane
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
They are coming to take you away haha

They really do drive me nuts but for 35 an hour I just grin and wait for the day I can tell them their cisco router is dead and will take 3-5 weeks to ship a replacement
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
ha nice
Jonathan Herman
@lantech19446
I used to be a people person but people ruined it for me. Now I'm thinking I'd prefer to go back end I have no experience with it and i realize I'd still have to deal with people but at least when the database gets messed up and my boss asks what's wrong I can tell him it's fucked in the back end
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
oh my
Katya Robinson
@KatyaRobinson
@lantech19446 what do you do now?
Jonathan Herman
@lantech19446
I'm a network admin for two public libraries
Katya Robinson
@KatyaRobinson
Are you trying to transition into development?
Jonathan Herman
@lantech19446
yes, I got into admin right as the economy crashed and it seems changing my focus will be the only way to stay in IT and catch up with modern salary requirements
Katya Robinson
@KatyaRobinson
On man I gotta hop off. Chick-a-filla has filled up and people are giving me dirty looks. I'll drive home and check if anybody's still here. Is this chat on-going or will it end at 8??
Lily Romano
@Lilyheart
on-going.
Party never stops! :fireworks:
Katya Robinson
@KatyaRobinson
hahah awesome

@Lilyheart
5-8 is just a dedicated time for people who want a dedicated weekly time to practice coding.
