General discussion / Change my life

« on: June 16, 2015, 02:56:27 AM »

I'm bored.

I'm in my early thirties and want to change my life completely. Long story short, I've spent the last ten years drinking and taking drugs like a loser. I've managed to come out of it the other end relatively unharmed. However, I have achieved nothing with my life, as I've been too busy getting off my face.

I'm determined to make something of my life. Am I too old though? My dream would be to work in programming or network security. I don't really have anyone to chat to about this, and was hoping I could open it up for discussion. Maybe someone has had a similar experience?

I'm just trying to plan my next move, I was thinking about moving to the south coast of England permanently (the weather is a little less shitty there), and was thinking about attending University, in particular this course: http://courses.bournemouth.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate-degree/cyber-security-management/bsc-hons/5342/

Am I too old to start in this gig, considering I know nothing more than HTML/CSS at present? Does the course look worth-while to you? Can you actually make a good living, without being the number one genius in the field?

Any help or advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Warm Regards

That has sorted it, thank you Rytiou..

Can I ask though please, with regards to your response (point number three); is there not an easier way to align the text exactly to the middle of the image, without having to manually adjust the margins? i.e left: 50px; top 50px etc.. Not only is this time consuming and code heavy, it is not entirely accurate?

Ok, I would like to set a record for the dumbest question ever asked by a novice on EZ.
I’m trying to learn HTML / CSS on Code Academy. All is going well, except I cannot get my text to align over my image:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"/>
<title>My Social Network</title>
</head>
<body>

<div class="contain"><a href="http://www.google.com"><img src="http://nl.androlib.com/appscreenmax/ppDww.u.cs.png"; id="me"></a><p id="one"; text-align="center">Help</p></div>

</body>
</html>

CSS below!

.contain {
border-color: purple;
border-width: 100px;
position: absolute;
}

#me {
width:100px;
height:100px;
border-radius:100%;
position: absolute;
}

#one {
position: relative;
font-size: 20px;
text-align: center;
}

I have genuinely been searching for a solution to this for about two hours on google, please help and feel free to take the piss.
Also, my border is not showing up as purple.
Kindest Regards
