You didn't...
Actually internet is not a medium my kids care for, not too much even for the phone (and they have a free line to use)...They grew up without TV and a big dosage of classic libraries...The only usage of computer they know of is to watch DVD (loaned from that library) and write homework (including a bit of Google search)...
If there is a choice to go out or watch a movie they will go out even in rain...

You can make things better buy using good anti-spyware software and also by running your own DNS-Server to speed things up.
Even the Tor network can be made to work at a decent speed if you do lots of blocking and maybe some caching using a proxy server

What would you write to say that you think about user. In other words, you develop something keeping in mind how end user will react/interact/think about this? How this can be best expressed in documents related to Project/Resume?

I think i'm unable to explain what i want. I want to mention somewhere that the person has ability to think how user will think about this Product/App/Software. He can think from client perspective.
It can be a sentence or single word also. I tried but unable to tailor it properly.

I am not completely clear on where you are trying to get to, however guessing what you mean - here are two sentences:
"The developer is able to put himself/herself into the shoes of the user."
"The developer has an understanding of the users' needs."
[edit - here's an extra one for free]
"In developing the solution the developer will have an understanding of the needs of the users, the technical competence of the users as well as the level of abstraction, with regards to information, the users are able to master."
“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

I think you might want to express that with reference to UX (user experience) design skill.

What I think of some users should never be written down.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

You could help with the (ongoing) aftermath of the Nepal earthquake.
There are a couple of projects that need computer / mouse skill (if not development):
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake[^] Digitizing satelite images to find roads and so forth to help with the relief effort.
http://www.tomnod.com/[^] Spotting damaged and destroyed buildings, so relief workers know where to go.
The former is a long process - you have to train. The second is pretty much "jump in a do it" - it's a consensual "this is a building, says 6 people" confidence thing.
If you have the time, give it a try!

I did a few hundred this morning and hope to do a few more, after Mother's Day festivities.

I am owning this Marketing myself thing this morning. Squeezing some complex code into the client's project that they can fully understand and appreciate, but never hope to write themselves.

Thanks guys, for the expressions of sympathy and or understanding at my woes experienced when trying to code VB.NET, but it gets worse. The VB code I'm writing is a little service that drags the universe down the drain with it by using POP3 for mail retrieval. The POP3 protocol makes VB look like a night in shining armour. It might even make sense to use an ugly language for this task, so as to not ruin a pretty one for me.

I like POP3. One can use Telnet to test the server.
Take a look at the authentication[^]-part; easy to trace, log and debug. What part could one not like?
