Just out of curiosity how does one achieve Grasshopper, HAL, or Black Belt status? Just curious.

Grasshopper status is attained by posting more than 60 (or is still 45?) posts. HAL status is pretty rare to obtain, you have to be invited to become one. And Sensei and Linuxgirl will probably always be the only two Black Belts since they run the site.

cool thanks man. I read that you worked on NASA programs in the programming section. How in the world did you get that job? I'm assuming you've been programming for 20 years or something

Ha, actually, I'm only 20 years old. Though I'm actually kinda close to having been programming for 20 years. I started when I was around 4. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

No, one of my Engineering Science professors applied for one of a big group of projects, and out of that group of projects, about 4 or 5 were allowed to have student assistants, depending upon whose recommendations and resume were the best. So, I got the job because I was well qualified as a student assistant who would work for cheap (at NASA, I mean, come on, I'd work at minimum wage to have the position I had on my resume)
