Re: What to do When Bored--a guide/list

The red part seems a bit hard on my eyes, if I'm honest!


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: What to do When Bored--a guide/list

If that was meant to be "Some of them are quite similar, or nearly identical, however."
Then you broke it up wrong DDD:
It looks like there's supposed to be something after the "however"

I recommend the Geocaching!  It can be a lot of fun (sorry you didn't have any luck).  All you really need to get started is a GPS to track down your target, a computer to get the directions, and a bit of luck sometimes.  You might not even need the GPS - Google Earth can get you pretty close too.  Some small items to trade are also handy, if you plan on checking out the contents of the cache.

Some are easy to find and some are really tough.  I've found quite a few - but there is one very small one in the parking lot of my local supermarket that has been eluding me for years.  The bigger the geo-cache, the easier they are to find (usually). 

Oh, and here's another suggested activity for you:  Learn to kayak or canoe  smile   Once you are out on the water, it leads to lots of other interesting things:  Animals, plants, geology, history, other boats, people, etc.  Just be sure to learn how to do it safely.

I love geocaching! My family discovered it a year ago and we've been doing it since.

Idea:
34. Make a list similar to the one you are reading.

Re: What to do When Bored--a guide/list

This list is awesome! I'm bookmarking the page. I donated 510 grains of rice today! But that's not all that impressive, looking at the leaderboard. I'll be sure to try some of these when I am sufficiently bored tomorrow.

Re: What to do When Bored--a guide/list

The geocaching sounds really, REALLY fun, but I doubt that there'll be containers in South Africa.  tongue

Although, the novel looks interesting as well. *goes for it*

Re: What to do When Bored--a guide/list

Great guide!
I think I've had a few Lucid dreams before. I couldn't quite tell. haha

Another tip:
Learn a new programming language with friends IRL!

I just got an idea -- combine 13 and 22! Wouldn't that be epic?

Re: What to do When Bored--a guide/list

Go onto Win7 Narrator, Open Notepad and type in "Trololololololololololololololololololo" It sounds like "trol ololololololol lo". Also, try typing in some random keys (aka go crazy on your keyboard like "sldkjfhalerugfhasldkfjhawelfuasjefhalseudtghwl4eudkj") and see what the narrator reads out  tongue  I tell you, it's seriously funny. Also, I don't Lucid Dream. I just make things appear with my mind. (no, not literally.)
