My Disgrace
-
Am i the only one having to work today? I'm in a project to replace the company's analysis system for medical bills. That system have been around for 14 year (VB6.0 and ASP) with a copy made in ASP.NET MVC 3.0, C#. It's intended to be a contingency system. The old one is in their last breath, failing all the time for no reason. As i'm in the legacy division, i'm the only one responsible for this. The development division is working on their permanent replacement, but it will take at least 3 months... The source for the DLL used by the asp pages is in vb6.0 and, at each line, my will to post it in integrity on the hall of shame increases, sadly, it's a 30,000 lines VB code that is lagacy from early VB3.0. :(( The only good on this is that if i can delivery this, i'll be cheered here ;P [Edit: I hope it's better to read now, this was my first post longer than a couple of words and i'm insecure to write in English :( ]
I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p)

It seems that your keyboard is broken, yet again. Only a guess as to the problem but it seems that your Shift key and/or Caps-Lock key aren't working for the alphabetic keys and the carriage return seems to be intermittent at best. I do hope that this doesn't interfere with your coding although I note that it is VB and if memory serves, that means that the editor will take care of any capitalization problems, so you should be OK.
Henry Minute Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is. Cogito ergo thumb - Sucking my thumb helps me to think.

It's only that i'm very bad in English and unsure of the norms of capitalization, to be sure that i'm not saying nothing offensive, i paste all my message into Google translator and translate it to my language, if it seems close to what i want to say, them i post it... As for the line breaks, its a culture problem, in Brazil(i can't familiarize with this name written with z...) doesn't make much difference if you break into paragraphs, only when the subject is clearly distinct, i'll try to reformat it :-O

Most of it is easy. First letter of a sentence is capitalized. Whenever you are talking about yourself (and you are a very important person, after all) the first letter gets capitalized. So I, I'm, I've, not i, i'm, i've. For paragraphs just hit return randomly at the end of some sentences. That's what I do. :-D

It's ok - Henry hasn't got over us replacing cuneiform and hieroglyphs with the western alphabet yet, so he gets a bit tetchy when English is misused. :laugh: Sorry Henry...

I've learned English playing Age of Empires, just a while ago I started to see English movies without captions ;P English classes where I live are really expensive and bad at the point of expending a whole semester with the "To Be" verb, only the present form :doh: I'm not like expending 6 years to learn a language at this rate... Just for future reference, I'm 19 year's old, this is why I've learned English on movies and games ;P

A while ago, I suggested to my university friends to stop using humans languages and start talking in programming languages. We gave up the idea when the "Data Structures" teacher started his class talking in assembly :~

No, you're not the only one working. I have at least 3 work projects to try and finish this weekend, so I can get back to my school work next week. Working full time and studying at the same time is guaranteed to make sure one has no free weekends!

Agree, I've to made a tutorial about how to make a mirror server for a debian distribution, also one about how to make a beowulf cluster, write an article and make a chat application for Monday, and my university tests start this Monday...

Experts have always been free to break rules intended for us mere mortals. :rolleyes:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Best of luck with your exams. Fortunately I finished all of mine, so it's just research work from now until I graduate.
