I got a msg from someone who thought my post was disconnected and they're right, it was late and mybrain was cluttered from studying for a Chemistry Examination. I referred to Stagnancy because as a college student, I find myself wrapped up in studying, and exams, and papers, and rarely get to write code that I feel stretches my abilities. When I work ( I work as a systems administrator at a small consulting firm in DC over the breaks ) I tend to be asked to write scripts that are challenging and also teach me a thing or two along the way. Most of the code I have to write for classes, doesn't teach me much and like most school work tends to be busy work. I was saying that testing your scripts/programs across as many platforms as you can is a good way to get out of that stagnancy without getting into too much trouble. Trouble being defined as writing programs when you should be studying ... I get into trouble a lot! Just wanted to post to try to tie it together for the monk who felt it was disconnected.
