Today is a good day to go to the pub...
-
(not that other days are not good to go to the pub ... ) Learned 2 things today! How to make a simple script in Perl and to do the same thing in C# (with a UI front-end)! Normally I would have used C++ and MFC to do that simple task, but wanted to try something new. Downloaded Perl, code, google, scratch and sniff and done it; but figured that my users my not like to have to download perl and launched the script manually (yeah, there's probably a byte-code compiler somewhere that makes a "standalone-ish" exe.) So opened up VS2008 and instead of targeting MFC, I clicked on C# Winform.app. It's quite simple, but a good starting point. Anyway, back to your regular programming... Have a good week-end y'all, I'm off to the land of the mosquitoes and other critters and cold lake and cold beer and hot bbq and hot chicks. M.
Watched code never compiles.

So this computer geek walks into a pub....
