Bonus Question 1: Why are you so damn good in coding? I understand its just a hobby and yet you're better than professional coders... any advice for the wannabe coders out there?
Lol, thank you. I just gave it a go. Most of my code is for me, to make my life easier. Never actually thought of taking it any further than that. When I posted my code for the streams widget, I expected someone to take my code and run with it. Then I got a message from you to integrate it with the site and I thought why the hell not!
So off I went to w3schools.com (best site for starting out web coding!) and learnt PHP from scratch and 2/3 (?) days later, my code was on sc2sea. The only reason I actually improved in coding was because I had something to code, a cause. So the only advice I have is to start! Make something. Pick a task and try and figure out how to make it, no matter how long it takes. Guys on sc2sea will gladly help you out if you decide to make something!
Bonus Question 2: Being in medical school too, how do you balance your time? You are such an amazing person! Share with us your goals in life!
Haha. Coding for me is my down time. If you come back home, tired and burnt and you ladder in SC II, then what I do is sit down at my computer and try to randomly create something. Doesn't always work and isnt always something useful. It's just fun to look at something you've tweaked or made. Balancing time is easy!
My prios are always Friends > Work > Socializing > Gaming.
Easy when you put it like that, right?
Goals in life? I guess I've already answered that but if I had a dream, would be to make a TBS game or maybe become like Bioware (for those that dont know, Bioware was founded by a group of doctors who could code).
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

veteris, you ROCK! I didnt know you are doing med! :O must be so...time consuming and yet you have given us somethings so awesome such as (to my limited Panda knowledge) the stream widget, the chatbox and the entire rehaul of the replay system!!
props to you, you deserve a medal and such :3
and no, i did not know Bioware was founded by docs who knew how to code (explains the bio tho :P)
