Wow this looks like an interesting project!

It works for C++ stuff too

:laugh:

Nope.. The intereactive whiteboard requires to be connected to a PC. This will not be the case. DD: I need to set automatic reminders like birthdays, bill payments, appointments, cleaning house etc. .

I blame my age but not sure why I cannot find a single product which satisfies my requirement. Ok not wasting any time further - I am looking for a simple automated organizer for home. 1) It should be physically installable at home (in the kitchen - may be near the fridge)so no its not software that I am looking for. 2) Every time a reminder(todo action item like clean drawers) is triggered the display should show the reminder as well as all old reminders due. Untill the reminder is snoozed or dismissed, the todo action items should remain displayed. 3) I should be able to change the occurence of the reminder I think I need something smiliar to Google calendar but like a digital whiteboard which I can install any where in the house. I am almost feeling like writing a program for this but not sure about the hardware. I am pretty sure there should be something like this in the market but what is it called? Any suggestions/links are welcome.

Wish you Happy Birthday in advance! I will be drunk tomorrow - watching TV. On sun - Watching TV and then getting drunk. Hold on - Am I drunk right now :rolleyes:

ha ha Dalek. You are so funny.

I think the same. It was after so many years that I went for the interview and I was back to basics. Even simple things appeared so tough (now that I think about it I feel so silly). I could have done better - definitely! But as someone said "second chances" are rare.

My head is still spinning with the experience I had. The questions itself were not that tricky but it is my mistake, I should have prepared well. :(

LOL no I am not. You may be right. Most of the left-handers I know are generally more creative.

Thanks. It is giving me more motivation to go for an indepth investigation. I have to say would be timeconsuming but will be worth it.

At work it so happens that I fix quite challenging problems(typical non reproducible bugs which occur every hundred hours) but I cannot make out which fix exactly worked. It has happened twice till now. If I undo my fixes bug is reproducible. So definitely there is a fix in my version. Although my manager is impressed but I struggle to explain him and peers what fixed the issue. Most of the times I do know what fix worked but there are some times when I really dont think there is a logical connection with the symptons and my fixes but it works. huh I am going mad.

Made me LOL :laugh:

Regarding unanswered questions, there should be a way to highlight them. Probably an automatic way of bumping them from the hundreds of post posted. I also like the idea of categorizing quetsions using beginner/middle/complex categories. Also rating the users or giving them badges (next to their names), who answered and their answeres were accepted would encourage them more to answer.

I think the same. But no one in my team thinks this way and they have managed to make this as a coding rule.

I somehow do not appreciate the "single return" coding rule.

Probably the bold text should be in all capital and font size 36! :laugh:

Looks like I have to implement CCW (COM Collable wrapper) for the mixed class. Any examples or links in this regard wil be great.

I am at an initial stage of converting a mixed class to make it COM class. (and eventually a complete project) I googled a bit but have found information only for managed(C#) class. Typically the mixed class would look like

// (in .h file)
namespace MyNameSpace
{
public __gc class CPoint
{
public:
CPoint();
~CPoint();
CPoint(float x, float y, float z);
__property void set_X(float x){ m_pPoint->m_x = x; }
__property float get_X() {return m_pPoint->m_x;}
public private:
// some functions here
};

I have to expose this class as a COM class. I need an interface too. But not sure how to do this. Any link or information will be very helpful.

The problem is that the third party dll uses float value in its class. So I really cant get rid of the float :-) and I still need to use this dll. As a work around I am using Math.Abs() method to find out tolerable difference between the two float values instead of checking exact difference using "==" with floats.
