open source really does work out in the end.

Posted 11 March 2002 - 04:49 PM

some guy (one of my teachers friends), asked if he could have the code from my mentorship project. so, i went ahead and let him have it. and he came back today and gave me 50 bucks. 25 for me, and 25 for my partner. and i wasnt even expecting anything, lol. good friggin times.

That's sick. Is he just going to use your code for something else and so he's repaying you or what?

umm, he's doing something with solar power (what my mentorship project focuses on) and uses the same program (labview) we did, so he just wanted to look to see how we did it. so he can better set his up.

Some people do.

Why not! Grap the camcorder, pen, and chai, and go for it!

Chai is like the best thing ever invented is it not?  I seriously drink a gallon a week.  Cold or hot, no matter.
