I haven't been visiting Zel much if you hadn't noticed. I only saw this because of D3V.
You claim to be a good programmer who knows seventeen languages (nine fluently), but none of us have really seen this in action. So we have decided to set you three tasks to complete, and prove you're worth your salt.
Your tasks, if you choose to accept them (in which case I'll post full specifications) are:
1. Program seven basic data structures, which a command line interface that allows you to add data to all seven (from a file or within the interface) and display them in the command line.

No, there's no reason for me to have to prove myself to you. I don't know you and you don't know me. To build these data structures would take thinking that I don't wish to do. So, no.
|
2. Build a program that takes a list of vertices linked by edges and creates from them a graph, upon which various actions can be performed. Again, this should have a command line interface, and display the graph in the command line.

I hate geometry just so you know. So, a big fucking no!
|
3. Build a program that suits an office environment. It must have a calendar, text editing package and a drawing application. It must also include an instant messenger that works over a network and the Internet, which allows sharing and collaborative use of the three applications above, as well as a multiplayer game or two for when the workers are bored.

Sounds entertaining, but why? Give me a good reason and I'll think about it.
- Either one or both of tasks #1 or #2 MUST be written in Java.
- Task #3, and the non-Java task can be written in any language (other than the web-based ones. The cloud is a brilliant thing, but we don't want it cluttered up with programs that deal solely with data structures or simple graph theory).

I hate Java. Java can burn and die.
I really don't, no.
At this time I have several projects going as well as I'm freelancing for people. So this stuff would clutter my work time. Don't suddenly try to bring about drama by going and writing this without a thought as to what I do in my own time. It's very annoying and I must say is unthoughtful on your part.
I bid Zelaron a good day with this thought. I've been meaning to leave for a while, and I've succeeded. Here's my big, BYE!
Oh yeah, see my sig, it runs off a data structure I designed last year.
Multiple mounts of data can be stacked into groups.
pwi = on|2:02|NRGLG;
Like that, I just don't want to. No reason for me to, I think the status is enough.
