  • How do you take your coffee?
    I Ian_Sharpe

    I hardly ever drink coffee. I lost my taste for it and now don't like it much. Depending on the time of day, I drink one of three types of black tea, or green tea or jasmine tea.

    The Lounge question

  • Dual display question
    I Ian_Sharpe

    I wouldn't be without a dual display for work. As others have said, the productivity gains are significant. Point of this post is to put in a word for the multiple desktops feature in Windows. I rely on this heavily and have been up to a virtual 8 or 10 monitors with it - two IDEs open with a lot of stuff in each, best spread over two monitors per IDE, plus documentation, browser windows, email, discreet sanity-preserving displacement activities that that shouldn't be left visible to passers by... If it wasn't for this feature, I'd be looking at more and bigger monitors and still find them constraining on occasions. Once the extra desktops have been created (Task View icon which for me is to the right of the Start menu icon, lower left), panning right and left through the desktops array is [Ctrl]+[Windows key]+[Right cursor] or +[Left cursor].

  • Company names
    I Ian_Sharpe

    The name is a sales tool. Ideally it should be an advert in itself. That doesn't necessarily equate with sounding cool - he isn't a retail brand. When a potential new client hits Google searching for an AutoCAD expert, what terms are they likely to use? Is there a name around those terms that instantly conveys the nature of the service, answers the searcher's requirement, and therefore likely to get the click almost before they have the chance to think? You need to strike the right tone with it. What type of person is likely to look for such a service? What are their concerns and goals? E.g. If clients are likely to be people in serious engineering with primary concerns like competence, credibility, safety and reliability, perhaps in a certain age range and with a certain type of background and mindset, you need align and fit with that. They might be put off by a gimmicky or frivolous name that suggests different and doesn't obviously relate to CAD services. Is it a name that won't sound right when they tell their middle-aged boss who they've hired?

    The API is VB6's Printers collection and Printer object - see the help file, in particular Printer.PaintPicture for the image and Printer.Print for the text.

  • Sith Interviewing Tactics [modified]
    I Ian_Sharpe

    For me it would depend on the circumstances. This is an easy bit of code just a few lines long. Sitting here under no pressure I had it working in a couple of minutes. I would be happy to tackle it using pencil and paper. In a interview, if they said go sit in the corner for 10 minutes and see what you can come up with, I'd likely be OK. But if the interviewer sat close and watched every move of the pencil then I might go blank if I was not previously at ease. Then it becomes as much about self-confidence and ability to think under pressure as it does about coding.
