:( My Head Hurts ):
Jason has moved up in the world. He started out programming in BASIC and back then, he had to even create his own pixelated alphabet, graphics, etc. Now he is on to much greater things! Last night, he had to do trigonometry involving converting degrees to radians to figure the precise placement of numbers on an analog clock that he created in C#.
So...all this learning of his made me jealous. (I was already jealous that his IQ is 2 points higher than mine!) My husband is learning C# and doing a mighty fine job at it. I've been struggling my way through some things I created in Access for record-keeping at the church. With the end of my job quickly approaching, I decided that I would be more marketable if I could add Visual Basic to my list of qualifications. I already new some basic things, but I have now learned all about classes, properties and variables and all about methods and stuff! So, honey, if you are reading....I'm working on increasing my knowledge and someday we'll have to retake those IQ tests.
Today I learned about the "fundamentals" of pragramming. No, it was not fun and I got a bad headache from all the knowledge. My husband tried explainging things to me and just as I started grasping it, he changed his approach and completely confused the bejingles out of me. He went to the church for awhile and by the time he got back, I had figured it out but I still had the headache.
The sad thing is that I have not used my 'imagination' to figure out how I can use this knowledge...the only idea I have come up with is something that applies to my current job (which, if not mentioned above, lasts for only five more work days). I guess that I could create the program and try to sell it, but I don't know how much the program would be worth and they already have their own programmers who get paid to do this sort of thing. Does anyone know anything about patenting programs and selling them? I would be interested in learning about the process and costs involved. Also, if anyone has any Visual Basic or .NET programming books that you are not using, I would love to borrow them.

I feel so not smart right now because I don't understand anything that you are talking about. Love ya!
You sound really intelligent. Don't worry about comparing your intelligence to anyone else's because, in the scheme of things, it doesn't really matter. The Lord made us in such a way that we are perfect for His purpose, whether we are intelligent or not.
Wow! I too have no idea what you are talking about! :)
