We are now...no longer the Knights Who Say 'Ni'.

Oh, and I fart in your general direct-shee-own!

Got to respect the "Primus" :p

OMG, if you are indeed interested in Java programming you should check out http://www.javaranch.com.

What I know about the topic could barely fill a thimble compared to someone like TM who does this for a living but what you chose to learn first is really directed by what it is you want to do. Most of the web-based business applications that come into the company I work for are .NET with integrated Java and VBScript. If you are looking to eventually program for a business app dev shop that might be a good place to start. On the other hand, PHP seems to be the WWW choice if you are more interested in maintaining dynamic web environments. Straight out desktop application programming might send you down the C++ or C# route. VBScript is really used mostly for network administration and/or web programming.

So really, where do you want to go today? <---- hehe, I had to say it...

Burgers! Welcome sir!

See above. You need to have higher weapon skill. Put on some jewelry.

Unfortunately they nerfed the Golem a number of patches ago to where they will take a very small amount of Poison damage now. For most 100% poison weps it equates to only 1-3 points of damage per hit however this now causes the durability of the weapon to go down as well as will eventually kill the golem. There are still "pre-patch" golems out there where these weapons still do zero damage.

There are tricks to keep the golem healed, everything from using Gift of Renewal on the golem to using tinkering repair deeds and walking to the tinker shop every little while. I typically either set my tinker next to the golem with a loop repairing it every now and then or I soulstone tinkering over to the char training so that it can repair without outside help or a tinker shop.

Of course wrestling can be trained without damaging a golem by wielding a fishing pole; this is a bug though and will likely be fixed eventually. Hmm, I should post this in the WinUO Bug forum in case some people don't know about it.
