Shaz

I'm so, so sorry to hear it, Shaz. Everything he taught you, and everything he inspired in you, is his legacy - and you're a really good one. Take good care of your family, and let them take care of you.

The hardest moment I ever felt was first realizing I'd never see my dad again. Super sorry to hear you have to experience that, but I'm glad you got to spend his last day with him. Treasure those moments, remember the good times, and you're a better person than I am if you're willing to help people while recovering from that.

Hugs for you, Shaz. Take your time, take care of yourself. The world just changed for you. My thoughts are with you.

The worst part is, it's just way too much fun going down the whole "I can do it better" rabbit hole. It's way more seductive to my attention than paltry things like mapping, story or balancing. XD

Yes. Yes, it is

I'm currently suffering from this syndrome. I feel personally attacked.

You would be right if you assumed I am now counting in hours.

how wonderful! I hope you can find some relaxation. (I usually cramp so much stuff I want to do into these days that it's not relaxing at all xD)

You can send private messages to people. I do not work on private projects though. Too many things to do, not enough time.

Nah don't be sad, I was only around 7-8 at the time and I can't begin to tell you how excited we were to finally get it to do something. Honestly it wasn't till days later that we realized we broke it, but before that we were celebrating our victory. It's a weirdly fond memory.

Anyway you should definitely make a game on it. It's worth it for the nostalgia factor alone.

Haha now that takes me back. My uncle got one from work and boy were we amazed by it xD

All this time later and the Commodore still hasn't been promoted to Rear Admiral.

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!
