Haha, well it's true.
I already have this version working better (less functionality, more correctness) and it looks much cleaner too.
And all I had to do was throw out 243 lines of code

I figured out why my C++ version was going fucknuts on me too...
Null terminators in the headers for other files. When you store them as a C++ string, they lose everything after the \0

So I was getting bits and pieces of files, instead of the whole thing :)

I prefer the message this turkish proverb gets across:

"No matter how far down the wrong road you’ve gone, turn back."

Well I finished my archive tool :)

For now, anyway.
There's still some issues with write-protected files, etc, but otherwise it works with any filetype.

Or, the pastebin version, here

Comments, anyone?

- Command-Shift-3 - takes a shot of the screen.
- Command-Shift-4 - drag out the area you want to be screenshotted.
- Command-Shift-4-Space - hover your cursor over any open window to take a shot of just that window. The window will turn faintly light blue so you can tell which one.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that, however I'm sure if somebody entered a topic called "ScreenShot of you programming", odds are they know how to take a screen shot on their operating system.

I used to use regular old notepad, because I hate all the extra features :P. But NotePad++ looks awesome, except how do I change the background color to black ^-^?

Java Webserver = Awesome.

I wish i was as good as you with Java >:)

Where did you learn Java?

I'm not really that good with Java, just forced to use it a lot.

School. They introduce comp-sci with Java, and so subsequent classes assume you love it.

To be honest, that webserver was my first use of sockets ever. We were given a pretty meaty skeleton to work with on this one.

I'd be happy to give you the source if you want. It's nothing fancy.

I'm back to regular old notepad... best script editor I've seen yet :P.

I'm still working on my loadit project, and now I've gotten use to using *just* emacs for all my stuff. Editing, compilation, shell commands, shell SESSIONS, I do it all now in a full-screen emacs window. It's getting very comfortable, really. I need to get down the version control keys, since that would mean I could invoke SVN from Emacs. It doesn't have integration for darcs yet afaik, so that's really the only thing I have to do that I can't do in emacs (darcs for my local repo.)

Here's a screen of me doing so (full screen):

heh... You should be working on my archive app, not me :P

Probably take you half the time, a quarter of the effort :)

Believe it or not I'm tempted to go ahead and throw away all this code I've already written. It's clunky and hard to work with, and I figure with a little more effort I can design a much better library (there're several limitations I've seen that would require too much effort to change by hand.) I mean, 800 lines isn't that much code. So a rewrite would probably be more beneficial (see Ken Thompson's quote.)

At least now I can use Bakefile's more reliably with my code (tried adding them in, didn't work to great, bakefile-made makefile's generated different binaries than my regular Makefiles. If I rewrite this can be avoided.)

I have a big Makefile template I just modify to any specific project. That way all my code is never IDE-dependent (I don't develop using "projects" in IDEs) and I know where the problem lies if something goes wrong.

I finally got around to starting my SuperStore simulation in Java (ugh).
Hopefully my prof doesn't give me shit for all the one-line methods...
It's just too annoying to drop all those { } to new lines for a single operation.

Also, I'm starting to actually like using Vi over any graphical IDE.

Not really programming... but here's my DeskTop.

Wow... Lots of icons...
.And you sure are liking those desktop characters eh?

Yeah... Lol. They are quite cool.

So I'm working on my Superstore simulation in Java for my Object Orientation class...
The prof is of course big on object hierarchy and ADT layers...
So I have a lot of redundant code written so far...

travis@rez ~/java/74215/A2/Q2 $ ls |grep .
Arrival.java
Cashier.java
Customer.java
Event.java
Node.java
People.java
Queue.java
Register.java
Test.java
data1.txt
data2.txt
data3.txt

And thats not all :D
I still have to write
"StartCheckout.java"
"ShiftCompleted.java"
"Departure.java"
"ChangeLineup.java"
and finally "Main.java"

It's due on friday, think I can do it?

It's just windowblinds with one of the included skins.

What is it called?
Do you know how many lines of code so far or is it all classes and stuff all over the place.
