Shaz

We've got 6 - 8 inches of snow coming tonight, you can have it.

That's not really the kind of cooler weather I'm thinking of But you seem to be all prepared for it!

Sounds interesting. Hope y'all have fun

I love a good BBQ!

Mmmmmm.... BBQ....

out of curiosity... Did you use javascript anywhere on it?

nope

well, no phone calls, no issues. Everything ran perfectly (with my project AND end of month/year stuff, which I could also have been called about). Still didn't get a good sleep, expecting a call and hoping to not get one. And idiots up the road with fireworks.

Get some rest! You deserve it.

it always comes at the worst times

Or it goes like this: At work, get all the ideas for the game, know how to implement the scene you need to do next. At home later that day: Duhhhhhhhhh.

Nope. TODAY WILL be a productive day.

That's the spirit

Got 'em

Is this a game or just work stuff O_O

Whichever it good luck with it and hopefully nothing goes wrong

"just" work stuff. Nightmare because project owner kept changing her mind about things. For two lines to be shown on a screen, she asked for changes FIVE times in a single week! Even on the last day she was asking us to change stuff. The whole project was like that

ouch...

I blame ADHD for why I'm lazy but in reality 18 is to long for ADHD.

RIP, the grind.

Go lives are always scary
I hope you will be able to sleep well

Yay - no phone calls! That's a positive sign ...

I LOVE KITTIES. DO YOU HAVE PICTURES?

+1 for pics

my other foster kitten and one of my own cats were following me around last night. They were either missing him, or happy to have me all to themselves.

I still need to see those. Good luck Shaz!

Since about two and a half years ago

Oh, right. Last time I was here was in 2016. Wow, time sure is strange.

Time starts to be strangely relative tome too...

You can do it! They'll be happier they met you, and you'll be happier you met them.

DC would lend you a paw if you lived next door. ^^ She seems she could use to raise a basket of kitties in her 16ths. (Somebody told me to look your way about you kittysitting XD Not sure every extermination day I would get them changing country. ^^)

Try washing them all

@Shaz Two words: Can opener. As for medication, try a little bit into the cheek and wait for them to swallow it. If the medication permits, try mixing with some milk or mushed-up soft food so it's not AS bad.

LOL DC did that to me a lot

Yes, or better yet, it is a brilliant idea. I don't have a clue on what you are talking about but I would trust you with this idea. I mean, Whenever I solved something with the same way I designed it sometime in the past and then find out my past code and it is identical I just say to my self "You son of a cute, you self approve this solution". I know the felling!

Soon you'll remember why you ended up abandoning the idea the first time <_<

Oh, I already know. It's a lot of hard work, and I have to learn a new programming language. Last year I probably thought I could work without it, but clearly I haven't been, so it's now more important than it was then

Fully agree with you there - yesterday was terrible, and the day before too T-T

Here we have manageable temperatures, although they are still insensible. What the hell is going on? No rains, no snow,...

@The Mighty Palm - I hate the cold too. I like the Goldilocks zone - not too hot, not too cold, just right

You would hate some parts of Texas... always humid and sticky... never cool and when you take a shower... there's a dark film that recedes into the drain.

eew ... I think you might be right about that.

Shaz that sounds like me when I got old enough to play and understand RPG's. I took any RPG I could get my hands on, even the bad ones. And yes, that means I did play the clunker that is the Spelljammer PC game.

It crashes on startup. Today, we enter the rabbit hole of troubleshooting and updating drivers.

His PC was too old - CPU/Graphics. So I put it onto his laptop which is still a couple of years old. It WORKED!!! He thinks it's the best game ever!

The cat had not been desexed or microchipped and probably not vaccinated either. The rescue group I now work with has a "last litter" program where they will pay for all of these things, leaving the mother with her owners, but the condition is that the kittens are handed over for fostering.

That way, it's guaranteed that they won't be given away to other people who will be just as irresponsible, but will be looked after, desexed, chipped, vaccinated, and then sold to people who are prepared to spend money on their pet.

That's good, poor kittens. Hope they go somewhere great.

I can agree that calling something without real world implementation a complete tutorial is overkill, since if you know the theory, but cannot implement it in practice, it's as good as nothing. But I definitely can see why many people will avoid it, since it's not just a matter of one or two extra chapters. Unless we require student's prior knowledge of this and that, which will make it useless.

I found one course that's JUST on GUI with Java. It assumes prior knowledge of the language, and just focuses on the gui stuff. It would be a good SECOND course to take. But it's about 5-6 years old now, so potentially a few versions out of date, which also makes it hard to follow along sometimes.

Yeah, that's about the same as C++ 94 vs. C++ 2011
Fortunately we now have javascript,node and nwjs, which makes a ton of stuff a hell lot easier.

Step 1 - install Visual Studio
Step 2 - scour Youtube for VB.NET tutorials
