Title: Programming Application
Post by: Anthony on January 27, 2008, 07:25:33 pm
Okay, I am sure I am not the first person you want to see right now. Taking into consideration that I was let go, I believe the reason was that I was accused of leaking private information. The fact of the matter is that I was not leaking anything, but I don't really care what the accusers believed. I really would like to be a programmer again, and after a year of learning I went through a book called "Write Great Code" by Randall Hyde, learning everything there is to know about computers, which inevitably lead me to be better overall at programming. Not to mention two of the most hyped SourceMod plugins that I manage, SH: Source (http://forums.alliedmods.net/forumdisplay.php?f=116) and War3Source (http://forums.alliedmods.net/forumdisplay.php?f=115). I also own Code Journals (http://codejournals.net/), a WIP coders blog system. I also blog on my official website (http://pimpinjuice.net/) every so often. So now totaling around 3.5 years of C++ along with 7 years of just owning up the computer, I feel I could be an asset to this team. To be specific, my example work isn't exactly coded in C, but if you need me to do a trial I could do it. Oh, I forgot to mention, I did a job at Novint (http://novint.com/) to design the graphical interface for the Haptics-Life 2 project, and I can get you a letter of recommendation from Jonathan Miller. Anyway, throw some work at me, and check out my Superhero and Warcraft mods, even though they are different languages they are also compiled to machine ASM, but instead of direct machine code it is ran through a JIT interpreter, the speeds compare very close to C operations. Anyway, thanks for consideration.

I would be open to giving you a second chance but I will talk to the other devs today too.

I don't see why not. More code is always a good thing

I can't really give my personal input on this because, I don't believe I was active during the time when we first gave you a chance. So I don't know exactly what happen, and because of that I don't have any reason not to allow you to become a trial member on the team.

Edit: I see that you are pimpinjuice, I'll have to discuss some things with you, and then talk to the rest of the lead devs.

i need to check over a couple of things, and see what the whole deal was with you leaving, since we lost our forums, we cant exactly see everything that happened.
