Sitting around drinking (tea, of course). Maybe some programming or something, I dunno.

I am thinking about taking a Java class in the spring. Do I need to know some basic language to do that? I am a non-code-writing person..

Nope. Sometimes it helps, but that depends. I knew C before I went to college and we did a unit based on Pascal, which our tutor taught us from scratch. However, the coding styles and habits I had developed from teaching myself C made it harder for me to learn Pascal his way. So I can't really say. If you do want to learn some code before you start, that can give you an idea of what to expect and also basic structures and principles of programming. The best thing to actually do would be to learn some Java if you want something to do beforehand, because it's (supposedly) easier to learn than C++, but it's an object-oriented language, unlike C and Perl that I am used to. It's said that it is easier to learn an object-oriented language like C++, C# or Java and then learn C, Perl etc. than the other way round. Having never learned an object-oriented language yet, I can't say whether or not that is true.

Thanks Denthul. I am think about thinking about taking a crack at writing apps through google android SDK and it is JAVA based whereas iPhone is C++. I know a few people that could write the code if I storyboard the app and functionality, but I would like to learn to do it myself.

Cool.

There are plenty of Java tutorials available on the internet that would give you a basic idea of how the language works. Good luck with it

Thanks! Will let you know if anything good comes of it.

After nearly 6 years of my current job I have grown weary and a bit fed up of it in the past few months so I am considering leaving and looking for a fresh start in 2010.

One option that has crossed my mind is franchising.

Two years ago I left a job of nine years for a fresh start. I do not regret one moment of my decision. Doing something new re-energizes you. Good luck in whatever you decide!

I'm going to my aunts, same as last year

I really don't get the appeal of New Year, it just makes me feel old.

If I don't go on a ride along with a local police dept looking for drunks I'll either stay home or go to friends homes although I quit drinking. Hope everyone has a happy and safe night .
