Photo Time!

8th March 2009

I think I need to expose myself to more ridicule.

That should do it. I believe that it's important to note that I was wearing bright red pants when this picture was taken.

For the Visitors

22nd February 2009

I think that the headers are really easy to miss on the new design -- I would align them to the left or center, and make the subheaders ('download', etc) larger or at least bolder than the surrounding text.
You might look into using Smarty (https://www.sm*snip*

DRY (Don't repeat yourself)

19th February 2009

[quote=JL235]I disagree. Blitz is meant to be very simple language, and this occasionally makes it easier to use.[/quote]
This was meant as a joke, but it's hard to tell on the internet, especially since I seldom use emoticons because my heart is a lump o*snip*

DRY (Don't repeat yourself)

19th February 2009

The closest that you can come to this in "classic" Blitz Basic is with the undocumented Object and Handle functions, but it still falls quite short of what you'd like to achieve. Basically, you can use them to stuff a reference to any user-defined type int*snip*

Windows 7: Public Beta

8th February 2009

I guess I missed the boat for replies, but I've been using the Windows 7 beta since yesterday, so:
1. It's running *very* smoothly and responsively on a 1.8GHz single-core Celeron with 2GB of RAM and integrated Intel graphics, with all graphical features *snip*

Weighted wages depending on rating

You've probably already done this, but
prettyWage = (GenerateWage(rating)/5) * 5
is probably the easiest way to make the wage 'pretty.'

Currency Conversion !?!?!

14th January 2009

Oh, that's not a problem. I revised my code because I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and noticed a major inefficiency in my old solution; there's no hurry to add the code, and even then, I honestly don't mind if it's never used -- it's just that having*snip*

German Translation

13th January 2009

I believe that it's a dialectical variation of "Marienkäfer," or "ladybug."
In any case, I found a post in German asking what it meant, and there were a few replies to that effect.

QOTD : What are you working on?

2nd January 2009

Since I'm tired of thinking about code for a while, I'm working on a little shooter game that simulates the graphical capabilities of the ZX Spectrum -- including attribute clash.
There's an early WIP here for the curious. Z *snip*

QOTD : New Years Resolutions

Mine is to catch up with my backlog of resolutions from 2006 through 2008. Maybe something about procrastination is in order.

drawimage problems

As Phoenix said, you need a Flip either before your Cls or before your Wend.
With double buffered graphics, nothing will be displayed on-screen until Flip. On some computers, when a program is run windowed, the display might update even when Flip is absen*snip*

Currency Conversion !?!?!

21st December 2008

This accepts things in the form [ curr ]currencyamount[ /curr ]. It may not be the fastest way of doing things, but it's pretty short and readable.
[edit] Ack, just noticed the conversions were being done backwards. Should be fine now.

Online Dictionary

23rd November 2008

If you're looking for an not-internet-using dictionary, try WordWeb.
I have to say that Enso is kind of neat, though, if only because it makes my caps-lock key slightly more useful.

The Game + The Rules Of The Game

22nd November 2008

Algorithms are essential to programming, but they are perhaps the antithesis of dating and relationships.
You will go through periods of your life alone, and it will often be painful. Accept that and move on, because it does not mean that you'll be alone *snip*

First Snow of the Year

22nd November 2008

Alas, I did not take a picture of our first snow (which was about two weeks ago, actually.)
We've gotten about 12 inches so far, and I don't even live in a particularly cold part of the world. Last year it was 80 degrees all through October, and it barely*snip*

PETA's Latest Attempt at Being Highly Inappropriate

17th November 2008

I think this is a worthy competitor to the Sea Kittens as far as PETA* idiocy goes.
I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but I do occasionally cook meatless meals for the whole healthiness/whatever thing**, but then I always feel like a filthy hippie afterward, *snip*
