Say the word banana about 30 times and it starts to sound pretty funny. :) -Lunchy

Sweeeeeeet, didn't know you could do that either! And I thought I was good! :-O -Lunchy

Awesome! Just when I thought I'd seen it all as far as DOS wildcards... :-D -Lunchy

From the trailors I saw, T3 can be created by the use of a couple regex's... $T2 =~ s/male villian/female villian/gi; $T2 =~ s/young actors/older actors/gi; $T3 = $T2; tadaaa! Seriously though, what makes this movie different enough from T2 that I should spend money to see it? The effects? Something else? -Lunchy

I know, but Perl is so FUN (and quick to write)! Everything else bores me. :( -Lunchy

Mmmmm Regex's, mix that with a little perl, some Net::Ping and Net::SMTP, and you're all set, 30-50 lines later you're off to the races. *Drool* Sounds so fun, I almost feel like doin it even though I don't need it! :-D -Lunchy

Ever see them in concert? One of the BEST concerts I've ever been to! -Lunchy

I LOVE that show, they need to lay off the Emril a little (not that I have anything against Emril, he's ok, but his uber-cheesy audience gets annoying :)) and add a bit more Good Eats. He's also got a book out... http://www.altonbrown.com/pages/bookit.html[^] I haven't read it, but heard it was good stuff. -Lunchy

There's a C++ UI builder in VS 2003. :-D Although...it won't be released for a little while...I thought I heard april-ish...but there's always the beta if you can get your hands on it. :) -Lunchy

Yea, I emailed him last night. Still haven't heard from him. I checked his bio, only negative thing one person has said was that he was a little hard to get a hold of, but everything else was positive, so we'll see. But I want my clubs! :D -Lunchy

WOOWOO, I just made my first purchase on EBay yesterday. I got a set of Titleist 731 PM's, but I like to call'em, "The Mickelsons" :D Anywhoo, I still haven't paid yet as the seller hasn't contacted me (GRRR), but I wanna pay with a credit card. How does that work? I take it I have to give him my card number and stuff? Or should I do it some other way? -Lunchy

Hehe, I'm in the same boat as you...Win32, VS.NET, but I use wxWindows, 'cause I can't give up the thought of portable code. :-D (actually, I'm working on compiling my app on linux at the moment. I got it compiled but..."segmentation fault" doh!) However, VS.NET 2003 with it's C++ winforms support really looks tempting. Anywho... I don't know if there's enough wxFollowing around here to justify a whole section on wxWindows, but I'd be will to help how I can. I think a section for "alternate software" could be a cool thing, I'd love to see more stuff on wxWindows, Perl, etc... :) -Lunchy

Hrm, not sure about how much interest there is, as I dunno much of anything :), but it sure can't hurt. :) I got some help on irc tonight, but I'd be glad to have a look at what ya got... if you wanna email it... caseyw@charter.net. Thanks! -Lunchy

Thanks for the help/reply! I got wxWindows compiled, but my app is where I get lost. It's the makefile I have a problem with. I have an example makefile that I'm gonna try and base mine off of, so we'll see... -Lunchy

I've been using wxWindows for a while now and I like it. I have yet to compile it on linux yet as..well...I dunno how. :( If anyone know's of any tutorials on how I can compile my app with it in Linux, I'd love to see'em. :) -Lunchy

A few things I noticed right away. 1. Outlining for C++ now works right in conjunction with the class view. 2. Winforms designer now works with C++, which I don't *think* was the case in 2002. However, Visual Assist has stopped working. :eek: Anyone know how to make it work? -Lunchy

COOL! It's funny, TMTOWTDI is almost getting cliche. ;) -Lunchy

Yes, they'll need to have perl installed, unless you package the perl program up into an exe using perlapp from activestate or perl2exe from I forgot who. Neither are free, but you can get a 7 day trial license of perlapp, that may do the trick. -Lunchy

Do any of you guys use the wireless keyboards for games like Q3? I have a wireless mouse and it really sucks for games because of a bit of lag, I feared a wireless keyboard would be just as bad. -Lunchy

I'd guess it's not really the script doing it, but win2k policies that are probably copied down to your machine at login (which I don't think is done with the script, but some other MS magic). My guess is that you're out of luck. But I'm usually wrong so I'm sure there's probably a way, whether it's getting the admin pw, or something else. ;) -Lunchy
