Hey, whatever happened to the double major in computer science?

I wasn't able to accomplish that goal, my adviser told me it would be impossible. I was allowed to take a programming class but any more would have put me over the credit limit. Its something I like but not very good at, like music. I'm a transfer student so it is already difficult enough for me to make the adjustment.


I asked a very basic questions on a rails mailing list, reviewing the content of the questions displays my lack of lack of knowledge on the subject.

As a user of Moonco.in, shouldn't you also be upset that Mr Moon is AWOL?

I was also a promoter of Betcoin and other Bitcoin sites trying to get others to use them so I would have more people to play poker against. I'm upset the site went down but it also didn't seem very professional near the end, I did not many Bitcoin on the site. I'm more upset I'm being unfairly accused of stealing Bitcoin and as result being harassed and having threats made against me and my family.


At 16 I did believe I knew C++, but I was also naive. And you are too if you think you can garner truth out of a high school student trying to impress people on his blog.

I don't think it is fair I'm being made the fall guy here and people are attacking me without evidence. No one is trying to determine if I'm actually associated with the site, I'm just assumed guilty because we had the same IP address at different times despite having different IP addresses while be online at the same time.

Also, I never seen Battlestar Gallactica so I have no idea where that came from. This poorly done investigation and vigilante justice is not the right way to handle things.

its far more plausible someone else in Davis knows about bitcoins rather then me being some mastermind computer scammer.

Well, it's likely you aren't a mastermind.  You used the same ip address to post as the only two advocates of moonco.in.  One of which can be easily linked back to who you really are, and often posted promotional material within minutes of the other.  

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.388004

You want us to believe that the two top promoters of mooncoin, an unpopular exchange for an obscure currency happen to have the same ip address (1 in 4 billion chance), but don't know each other?

  You know, at first glance I thought to myself, "There is no way this guy in 2003 is the same guy just because he used 'Trimpton'@opticalflare.com'." And then, as I always do, I spent way too much fuggin time reading the material you post. andddd. Well, turns out your bud from Optical here was about 15/16 years old in 2003, lived in Ventura and had a house with a pool....  Might be worth looking to see if his father owns or owned a mechanics shop under the last name in the area, as he mentioned that as well.

For a non-programmer you post a few programming questions to ruby on rails lists.


To be fair, ECS30 is more of an introductory course to programming. Their course, focusing primarily on Xcode (Apple; Leopard, iOS). Not many instructors at Davis working with that ya know. Jesse Anzlec there is his lab partner and those HW2-HW5 repositories are their homework. Shame on you for letting Jesse do most of the work... I hear he is an excellent bowler as well. Do you also let him hit all the strikes for you?  Oh, and by the way your 3 bedroom 'apartment' with pool looks awfully comfy at $1800~ a month.

 On your nickserv info and you suggesting that 'he may have been leeching the neighbor's wireless, same ip, blah blah, shared internet'. Sure, if you expect us to believe Mr. Moon was stalking you and parked outside of your place, and only 6 minutes after your last irc login as upisdown, he logged in to the same friggin irc network and created mrmoon. riiighttt... And as soon as you stop assuming your audience here are ignorant we will all move on.

P.S apples suck and so do Iphones with Verizon. Its his Iphone using the 209. addy thru US Colo there btw...

I am interested in getting Quickbooks to share inventory, be used as a payment gateway etc with Ubercart in Drupal 6.x. There is already a Quickbooks API and UC_QB module so it may just be an issue of upgrading it to drupal 6. If anyone knows about these modules or are familiar with this situation please feel free to contribute. I am taking quotes @ trimpton @ gmail.com

Thanks,
Christian

The man is versed in God, politics, and Battlestar Gallactica.   I find the SA connection being made here funny, I'm sure others do not. 

It's usually funny when deviantART meets SomethingAwful.

"you're the guy who, after trying to create a movement to spam senators and representative's voice mail with messages demanding impeachment, thought it was an outrage against democracy and a sure sign the united states was going to hell in a handbasket that Senator Feinstein's staff wouldn't give him her personal number"

I have been trying to add a caption. I successfully made it display in
the admin portion but I cant figure out how to save the variable.
I would have suspected:
@product.images[0] = "thing"
in the product controller would save to the caption but it does not
work.
Any suggestions? I can post more code if necessary.

I can post more code if necessary, but it will be in HTML or CSS (is implied).

I do have shared internet in my apartment/dorm (It's included in the rent, like our water), and I think its far more plausible someone else in Davis knows about bitcoins rather then me being some mastermind computer scammer. I also don't know how to program (not unless you count html/css) so that makes it a rather odd accusation, I study plant sciences (breeding) and do design work (I'm an artist).

Hey, whatever happened to the double major in computer science?

I am from Ventura, Calif., which is a small town an hour or so north of Los Angeles. I grew up here and have always had a passion for art, although never intended and still do not intend to make a career out of it. However it is something that I enjoy doing and will most likely make more work in this style. I am actually going to school for science. I was just recently accepted to UC Davis for plant sciences and my current plan is to double major in plant and computer science, but I am also extremely interested in astrophysics.

Edit: The above post shows me logged into irc at the same time as mr_moon but with a different ip. We are clearly different people, this should be enough lay to rest any claims that I am mr_moon.
Interestingly that 'different ip' (209.237.253.79) is very similar to the ip used by mr_moon when he briefly appeared to post his 'pastebin' link claiming the exchange was hacked:

You say you don't know how to program but your github account links to a C++ project that lists you as a contributor.

Based on just that? No, not clearly; it would be easy to run two clients side by side with one of them connecting thru proxy, or two machines and different internet conenctions (there are even cellphones with IRC clients nowadays). I'm not saying anything about the accusations, i'm just saying that different IPs in IRC (or many other systems) doesn't mean much.

I dropped a polite email to the UC Davis police department that someone attending their university may have committed a whole lot of wire fraud.
