I have a serious problem. It is painful for me to admit, but I need to. I figured this was the best way to do it. I know that God wants us to admit our sins publicly so our brothers and sisters can help us get back on track, and this is as public as it gets.
I think I'm going to get another computer. I know you are thinking "Zane, you've already got two, both of which are brand new." But you see, I use my laptop all of the time, and when I'm not using it Dusty, or someone else is. Which is great. That is why I got it. Quick easy access, and portability. Then I have my desktop. I got that because I wanted to learn how to build a computer, and I wanted a monster that could run Warcraft. The desktop is my main pc for just about everything. I use it for school work, budgeting, updating lj, maintenance on websites and all of that great stuff.
So why do I need another computer? Because I know absolutely nothing about Linux. If I'm going to be the best programmer I can be, I need to learn Linux. The technology that Lunux supports is head to head with the Microsoft world. Sure, I know a lot about the Microsoft technology and could make a good career just working with Microsoft. But then I wouldn't be reaching my maximum potential as a software engineer. I need to learn Linux, and continue learning Java technology.
I know this might be completely foreign to some of you, but think of it like this. Mandii is an artist, and therefore uses a bunch of different tools to make her art. I am a programmer, and I have found the need for more tools.
It is a problem because I don't know if I am just plain going overboard. Am I just indulging my selfish desires? Afterall, having three computers is a little much. I don't know anyone who has two computers, little own three. Your thoughts are appreciated.
