  • Web Page Colour Schemes...........oh dear
    D dawmail333

    Reminds me of 'The gr1d' (a programming game that seems to have died). The developer just set it up so the site picked a random colour-scheme from kuler every hour, and just left it that way. Some of those themes just didn't work for a webpage...

    Like what Ubuntu did? (the only good UI design I've seen from them recently, unlike Unity >_< )

  • I wonder if i should tell him my idea!
    D dawmail333

    I was at a Microsoft Summer Camp today, and we had a Q&A with a legal advisor. He mentioned that when people go to make suggestions for apps, they won't listen to them, because if they already have that project under development, then legal issues could come up later about who had the idea first. Then, with their Imagine Cup, they have specific licence terms that they will not lay any claim to the IP of any of the entries. I doubt they'd steal your idea, but you could ask about their terms and conditions. In business situations, ALWAYS read the bloody EULA!

  • Challenges in storing files in ftp path
    D dawmail333

    I assumed you meant this: * Admin clicks 'generate report' button * System writes file into 'reports' folder * Admin uses FTP to access the 'reports' folder to access a report If so, you can make this work well: FTP is done independently of HTTP, so you can make an entire FTP address that can ONLY access the reports folder, depending on how you configure your server. You can also make the reports read-only to the FTP user etc. If you really wanted, you could just point the FTP access to the root of the site, and deny access to everything except the reports folder, as you see fit. If you manage your permissions correctly, there is absolutely no risk involved.

  • Diagramming Standards?
    D dawmail333

    Thank you very much. I suppose I'll just have my own little home-brewed flowcharts until I need something on that scale. I suspect I'll learn about that in university though. Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed and practical reply!

  • Diagramming Standards?

    Those diagramming standards are probably 20 years old? Older perhaps?

  • Diagramming Standards?
    D dawmail333

    I've done very little formal diagramming, so I'm wondering what the standards are these days. I'm particularly talking about program structure, class structure and database structure, but I'd love to hear about any others you use too. For reference, the only diagramming I've done was back in high school IPT: Nassi Schneiderman Diagrams (Structograms)[^] and Conceptual Schema diagrams[^].

  • For the first time ever
    D dawmail333

    I coded in VB.Net for a long time. I'm using C# now (I willingly chose to make the transition, with no impetus of any kind, not even popular opinion). It's not really that bad: just a lot more verbose. I can see the appeal of C# nowadays, with some of the syntax, but honestly, you'll just have to write a few more lines of code. That's all. I honestly did consider writing a plugin at one stage that could 'expand' C# syntax into VB.Net, but I don't think that'd be practical :laugh: Oh hell, I'm a self-taught programmer. What's practical got to do with anything? ;P

  • Am I a bad person for doing this?

    Aha! I wasn't actually asking a programming question in that I wanted help or advice on it. I just wanted to know if people though my solution to something was TOO hacky. The fact I managed to trick someone into answering an unasked programming question is just a cool bonus. :laugh: If you REALLY still think this should be shifted, then ok.

    This IS the company that defined ERROR_SUCCESS I suppose. Nah, I find the registry is an appropriate fit in this situation, it wasn't just blind acceptance.

    Good point! It's just that I personally use this utility by dumping it in my 'startup' folder, so putting a config file in the same folder would try and launch it on every startup. Also, each user might want their own volume step settings, so that's the other consideration I prepared for.

    Well, I suppose once I get the GUI done, I might revisit it. Or I might get jack of it early, and try to figure out how to do it properly, at a stage that isn't 11PM at night. :laugh:
