All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

I'm actually planning on moving to Vancouver once I get out of high school... I'm hoping to go to BCIT or UBC, probably going to take some programming and business courses
