Same here. Last year we covered HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, C#. Some of that stuff I've forgotten since I don't have to do it all the time, but I think its time to brush up on my skills ^^. I really can't wait till I go to Japan after I finish my course next year.

September 11 was a sad day, not that I realised its significance at the age of 11! Our substitute teacher was crying because of it. Ironically someone in my class had their b'day on that day. I know another 2people who share that same b'day. Scary isn't it. And yes, Sony is awesome :D

Aimless Traveler
Turned 13 in 2000. Didn't get the PS2 until two years later. Ironically (almost clairvoyantly), on the morning of September 11th 2001, I woke up sweating from a nightmare where I watched a very tall building burn before it collapses. You can imagine how surprised I am when I turned on the television to watch the news. Whoah, deja vu!

HTML, PHP, XML, C++, MySQL. Work history is impressive Danny. Can't believe Akihabara in the olden days were mostly for electronics and hardly any service like maid cafes. Reminds me of a University course in waterloo, ECON 101, when the prof talked about developing countries and developed countries. Developing countries rely heavily on physical objects for wealth, but developed countries look more into the services. Great prof, he inspires me. For those in waterloo, it's Larry Smith.

Chronicle of Tokyo & Danny Choo, what a great pair ^_^ Now, folk who'd affronted/insulted the honorable Danny Choo should now see clearly with their own bare eye, the truth are obvious! Is that an Idol wallpaper inside your Mac desktop in photo#22220? Can't wait for the upcoming articles about "Working in a Corporate IT company: Amazon and Microsoft" & "Tokyo 2002 - 2005" Keep up the great work, Danny!

I am always amaze with your achievements Mr Danny! I hope that someday I too will be as successful as you. I couldn't even remember what I did in those years and here you are talking about it like it happened yesterday! Darn my short-term memory loss -_- Right now I have a course where we are taught how to use C++. I don't know why I, a mechanical engineering student, should know about this! Maybe it is what you said Mr Danny, about my market value. Maybe my university is increasing the skills I am able to do to increase my market value O_o LOL I thought I was watching a movie when I saw the live footage of 911! I thought to myself "Hey! This is a cool movie. I wonder what the title is!"... and then I saw the news logo on the corner of the screen XD

Me and coding? lol not really, I'm more the guy for hardware stuff. Maybe that's why I'm a Desktop fanboy, Latops are convenient if you are on the move, but beeing not able or allowed to change some parts is something I can't stand^^ I'm not opening it up to exchange parts that often but to clean it sometimes, cause my PC's suck up all the dust in my room (or at least it seems so), maybe thats why my figures aren't that dusty ^_^ Which camera brand? I always had Olympus until now but the next one will not be one, too much noise orz Nice pics, I wonder how you manage to look always so happy.

Videogame Magazine Editor
Used to learn Java in Computer Science, and I learned a bit of HTML by myself when I was in high school. After I got tired of seeing computer codes on the screen, I switched to pure arts. Haven't looked back since, though I'd like to learn more about the intricacies of game development since I'm working closely with the local game industry.

Danny Choo bashing? Really?!? What's their problem? They're just jealous because you're so awesome. ;-)

illustrator/web designer in training
Always wanted a vaio but they're always too expensive. Home computer ran windows and my first laptop was a Toshiba (loved it, heavy as a ton of bricks though), which was a gift. When I started part time work, got a Macbook. Now that I have a (temporary) full time job, I got an iMac. My goal is to one day get a Macbook Pro/Mac Pro. Far in the future though when the ones I have now are obsolete. Macbook's turning two and she's still running very well ^_^

Software Developer / Programmer
wow, that is an awesome article. always wonder about what its like for people living in another time/space from my own. i do code, got hired as a junior developer the day i left school ^_^. they were really, really desperate, so even though i knew nothing about programming, got hired, and had to teach myself from scratch. makes my head buzz when i think about it. and it was only about 18 months ago!
(ID #312241) Posted on 2008/09/24 23:21
ahaha didn't know so many pple did coding, or is the post too new? そしても日本人もダニーさんのブログをよみます、びっくりしちゃった。 私の日本語はまだ全部習うだから下手です、お失礼します。

Amazing article. Must be very nostalgic when you were writing this down. My skill sets though are too diverse. One might say I'm more of a jack of all trades and I'm pretty sure I'm not excelling in any of those. But I do know just enough to get the job done. Illustrator, photoshop, recently corel painter. Also got to brush up on my C++ and VB coding. Been using HTML and flash more recently because of the job I'm holding. I'm looking forward to my Culinary arts certification though. That is something I do plan to excel on. :)

Oh, and as far as Sony laptops are nowadays, I guess you can say they've improved but not by much. They are more of lifestyle laptops. I've gone through toshibas and HP's. And I can say HP's are durable from my experience with it at least.
(ID #312282) Posted on 2008/09/24 23:52
As I am currently studying for my MSc(Information Technology), I know some forms of coding:P (mostly Java, C#(win and asp.net apps), a little php, perl; should take some time to learn python, seems to be a rising trend) Anyway, very interesting article, can't wait for the Tokyo 2002 - 2005 part!
(ID #312283) Posted on 2008/09/24 23:54
Would love to learn coding, but have no idea where to start from T^T

for software development, Start with C#. For Web Applications, always start with HTML :) from there, you just pick from the variety and what is often the norm that you'd want to progress from.
(ID #312400) Posted on 2008/09/25 01:41
hee thanks. I might just pick up HTML after my exams ^^

Wannabe CG Artist/ Figure Collector/Deadman
Learned HTML at school followed by using Dreamweaver.. they're subjects that are required in my course, which is Computer Studies major in multimedia and the internet. Right now, still using DW8 on my current website cuz I get to see the result(s) when updating the site, etc. I still have to learn Php and Sql. There's no Php subject in my school when I was still studying and SQL was way too extreme for me that time so as the present. I also have a background on programming like C, Java, etc but wasn't able to use them after I graduated 2 years ago. This post is good for motivating me to work hard and go to japan and work someday...

Wow great story Danny I wish my memory was good like yours. i can't wait to here from 2002-2005 I want to learn how to code. how much snow does tokyo get during winter? I am starting to switch from desktop to laptop. only because I am leaving for the military and will be moving around alot. only time I open my PC is to clean it cause I get alot of dust in there really sucks.
(ID #312294) Posted on 2008/09/25 00:01
I was 17 in 2000 and only got my PS2 by 2003. And by them I still didn't knew what I wanted to do, I remember I wanted to work with something related to gaming and started looking for Japanese classes but with no success. Funny how much we change in 8 years.
(ID #312297) Posted on 2008/09/25 00:04
Danny having occurring dreams of walking across a Zebra Crossing? You must referring to Abbey Road. One the Beatles album holds that name with the entire (young) band walking across a zebra crossing on the cover too. And the album art is iconic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_Road_(album)
(ID #312305) Posted on 2008/09/25 00:10
wow, i think it's really cool that you're writing about this. gives me insight on how things were back then (also, nice! DOA2 for PS2!). hah i used to think the same about macs back then, now i finally own a Black Macbook. as for Sony Laptops currently, they're actually alright. My friend has a Vaio laptop, and it works well. but yeah, i'll be looking forward to the 02-05!

Great article! I'm coding in Fortran, PV-WAVE and C# in university. In school I learned basic HTML and JavaScript.

haha, i notice a stormtrooper figure in one of those pics x'd that's is something common to me, mi father was a professional photographer and my mather do that now, so I have TONS of photos, and from time to time I see them, and the nostalgie comes ='( x'DDD kidding, BTW, I'm the only who thinks, that, in the era of digital cameras, so many tools to have digital portraits, and kinda variety of resources; the real paper photos, and the smell they have in the old album, are UNIQUE? I mean, it's kinda great the techanology make the things easier, BUT, i think that some of the "magic" of the paper photo are going lost in the process, making all, cold...o something.

hmm zebra crossing dream...normally i use dreammoods.com to analyze my dream but cant find yours. nostalgic article you have..make me envy you that you have the courage and determination to try out something that you were not really ready for (referring to the many job changes especially the website manager) as for coding, i have it as my major in college so i know (but not particularly expert in) C++, VB, HTML, Java, Javascript, VB.NET, Oracle PL/SQL, MS SQL, Flash (actionscript), a bit of photoshop. however, now i am working as a s/w support and my job rarely requires coding - thus my coding skills are rotting away. been telling my boss i wan to find a job with more use of my coding skills... VB.NET remains my favorite (used it to code a couple of web applications mainly in data management.
(ID #312381) Posted on 2008/09/25 01:15
Coding is my hobby (do not really want to turn it into a career) that I didn't bother about Wordpress or Blogspot and code my own blog, yeah still stuck with Dreamweaver 4.0, my first WYSIWYG software :p. You mentioned "Akihabara in 2001. No moe, no maids, hardly any eroge or figures." What?! Got J-AVs DVD/VHS then? Shocker desu! Hope to see some of these PICS in your upcoming Tokyo revolution report ^^

WebDesign, Coding, Administration
Another interesting article of you, uh! ^^ It's really impressive how you managed things, when i look back on my past i feel that i missed a lot of great chances just because back then i wasn't able to see them. As for coding, started as System Administratoress (is that even a word? lol) and had to learn SQL very suddenly since we switched one of our tools from a BDE database to MySQL. Then i went on with Mediadesign, focused on webdesign and with the knowledge of SQL in my back i started to learn PHP. CSS and stuff is no coding, but was known by me before SQL and up to now i always did enjoy the changes which came with new versions of CSS, so much design potential in it... i love it. Those last two pictures at night made my heart race... i love Tokyo at night. ><

I only know of HTML & CSS. I got stuck at Java, PHP and MYSQL. I've learnt some PHP and MYSQL before at UNI but they didn't really teached it properly, in the end it was all self research. But, I think I should extend my web building skills, last year, I started to try web building without any use of Tables, using DIVS which is hard at first. Reading your article, memory lane is sure memory lane, I remember some of the things you've mentioned, like the cub board for a PC desk lol
(ID #312426) Posted on 2008/09/25 02:01
being a graphics designer, i need to know coding. know html, css, actionscript. tried php and mysql but didn't couldn't learn them due to time constraints. gave up on learning asp.net c# due to the same.
(ID #312435) Posted on 2008/09/25 02:10
Great article, you have a very interesting story. As for coding, the languages I am most familiar with are: Ruby, Java, C, C++, PHP, and Haskell. Have also had a play with some others such as Prolog, Erlang, ABAP, and Perl, but can't see myself using them much in future - besides Erlang perhaps. Currently trying to learn some of the more advanced functionality offered by Javascript.

wow Danny, a trip down memory lane and seeing how much your life has changed. hats off to you. I'm not sure if you were able to read it, but I was actually surprised when someone started to call you names on my blog after I posted an entry about your CNN broadcast. however I hope all those Danny bashing in the internets won't get to you. remember they wouldn't try to bash you unless you've achieve something they envy. call it tall poppy syndrome or crab mentality. point is if let it get to you then you're let them cut you down. regarding the question, back in 2000 I was still in programing, did some work on dreamweaver as well. but most of my coding experience focused more on mainframe computers and making them talk to PCs via C++ on a unix mainframe server and porting it into Visual Basic on client PCs. remember the y2k bug? did a lot of coding work combating that as well. ^^;

ah forgot about the sony laptop, camera and the dream, I use a sony TZ laptop no compatibility problems for me, am probably still a sony fanboi now. I use a similar camera as yours a 850is and a EOS450D love canon cameras always thoughr the quality of the pictures they take looked great. about your dream, a road usually symbolizes a journey, not sure though since you are crossing it diagonally. is it a single zebra crossing or a corner similar to the one on Shibuya? if there's more than one crossing it might be interpreted as a crossroad, which would mean at that point of your life you are at odds with choosing betwe
