Shaz, why don't you take brief nap on the couch stead, to relieve some of the fatigue, while not losing focus on what you want to be done.

haha - it was my bedtime ... if I napped on the couch I'd wake up still there in the early hours

Hope you caught on your sleep cycle now.

Dark Parables and the 3-hour work session are red herrings. You make a sandwich and watch tv. Cracked Black pepper turkey, pepperjack cheese and spicy mustard. Toasted everything bagel. Then you sleep.

Go to the sub forum you want to post in and click on "post new thread" in the upper right hand corner.

LOL - except I have the same domain name

They do the same thing in the US. I can get internet for $29.99/mo if I'm new, $70/mo though after a year. No loyalty benefits whatsoever.

doesn't entice people to hang around, does it?

The protagonist had been the sole system admin for 5 years and it worked all fine. He had been asking for more people, but the CEOs always declined. Well, a new CEO came, fresh and young blood. He took duties off the admin one by one. Then one day he told him to train a new guy in 14 days. Which was far from enough time to make him understand the complex system.

After these 14 days the protagonist was told to delete his credentials from the system and was fired. However, these credentials had been running important background tasks, so it crashed the entire system. The company lost customers and credibility as a result and was forced to hire a 3rd party to develop a new system... That was buggy as hell.

The company never recovered from it and was forced into bankrupcy.

How about just reading documentation? That is what I usually do. Throw away tutorial and just read the docs. Then if I don't know anything about it, I seek for the tutorial.

@Wavelength the things I need to know are pretty basic - how to combine multiple source files into a single project, how to compile, how to create a windows application project with GUI.

@TheoAllen people have different learning styles - I do much better watching videos and being hands-on than reading something. I went through the Oracle documentation/tutorials and they're good, but they leave massive gaps.

This is the second person you have asked this. Status Updates are not to be used to ask Support questions, and certainly not to ask multiple people.

Please start a thread in the forum with your question. There is no reason to ask just one or two specific people.

And here I thought u went to actual Java https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java

learn programming, not coding.
that'd solve your problems.

Nah, programming skill is divided into two things:
- Logic skill
- Knowing the library/syntax

you can't ignore either of them.

I would if I could

Aww that's terrible... -_-

Break in and search for your delivery all sneaksy. Don't forget to listen to the Mission Impossible theme while doing it.

These scams still fool a lot of people. I do like watching those scam baiting videos on YouTube, though.

lol @Benny Jackdaw ... I kinda know that The post was to amuse people with the absolutely awful job they did at hiding the fact that it's a scam.

Sometimes I feel like replying and telling them all the stupid things they did that give it away, but then I think there are still some people who would be fooled, so I don't want to show them how to sound more legit and fool even more people.

Do I detect a slight note of despair in there?

I don't know @Kes. My actual request included the name of the game, my device and OS. There must be something really obvious that I left out, but I just can't put my finger on it.
This is after getting an auto response saying I'd be hearing from them within 48 hours, then waiting a week before they replied.

"Have you tried turning your computer off and on again?"

Probably.

They see you as helpful, so they think you are the go to Dragon. Well, it could be worse. You could be @Andar . Imagine how many whispers he recieves.

not many luckyly because I usually send them back to the forum as well

Ooh, one of those really dense days where you work two shifts in a row or something? That does sound pretty tough. Still, 5 days off does sound very pleasant. You can do quite a bit in 5 days, even if it's a lot of goofing off.

Maybe sure you bring snacks so you can keep going.

I've had a tough couple days in a row, looking forward to my down time though!

Oh that's terrible, but a new stone will be shiny. Try to enjoy the renewal more than the pain of the loss of the original stone.

@WhiteW - don't know. Just realised before going to bed the other night that it was missing.
@Mrs_Allykat - not only will the new stone be shiny, but they're going to shine EVERYTHING up for me I don't mind getting the stone replaced - I'd be devastated if I lost the actual ring though.

It's symbol of your joy. Resizing rings is like a sign of a relationship maturing. We'll not discuss Mr. Scale. LOL!

Aaah. I figured a machine would be faster since that's how it's usually done for store bought clothing, but I guess the home versions aren't as reliable. Maybe I'm slow because I was just too used to using a crochet hook by the time I first tried knitting. Or maybe it's because I have to use the same type of dexterity with both hands.

Somehow, my post ended up in the wrong topic, I have no idea how that happened.

lol - yeah, I figured it was meant to go on the other one

We also have 14.3. as format here, but that doesnt keep math teachers from having a Pi day

I had apple pie as a snack and homemade pot pie for dinner. It was delicious. Glad you get to join us in the tradition next year! It's not common to celebrate it, btw, just something fun the really geeky do. My family just happen to all be even more geeky than me.

programmers are geeky. We should celebrate it by default.

Also, at the top left corner of the page is a "Help" tab, thats where I learned the spoiler thing. There might be other things there that will help you too. .

Since you asked here: Click the Flag icon and enter the text of whatever it is you are spoiling.

@OmnislashXX I did not know that! I just use the bbcode tags

HexMozart88 I'm not surprised.

And speaking of 911, I actually called it once, on accident. Now I'm sure people are wondering "How do you call 911 on accident?"

I was actually calling a friend and to my shock 911 answered. I told them I was calling a friend, I'm not sure how this happened.

Then my sister figured it out. My friend's number was something like xxx-xx9-11x-xxxx

I'm not shocked. I used to work for a phone company and the number of people who thought they could NOT live without a phone for 24 hours was shockingly high. They didn't care that everyone else in the state had no service due to a lightning strike, they wanted their phone NOW.

Once upon a time, we had NO mobile phones, NO internet, NO facebook/instagram/whatsapp. Yet we still managed to live. I AM glad about mobile phones now - much easier to get help if something goes wrong with your car on a long trip.
