  • Re: Attack of the Scripts

    OK, so you have data in one format; your programs need it in a different format. The result is written to a third format. You use scripts to convert from the first format to the second; run the programs, and convert the output to the third format. So far, sounds perfectly fine. Rather than spend a lot of time writing a gui to do this, ...

  • Re: Don't worry; we'll stall them.

    Sounds to me like it's time to go independent. Resign, then offer your services back to this company as a contractor.

  • Re: The front page

    This post tells you what kind of people we are. Most people would have read this and said "Umm, I don't get it." and then move on. Us Software Engineers, however, try hard to glean meaning from even the most obscure requirements; which is sort of what we're doing with this post. Trying to make heads and tails out of a story is ...

    [quote user="clively"]i need it for colege transcipt i will pay $5000[/quote] Careful; idiots like this tend to get promoted because they know how to inflate themselves. He might just end up being your boss. "I need that report right now; can you stay late and get it done for me; I'll give you a bonus"...

  • Re: Save some work

    [quote user="Zecc"]As in: (playing the part of the original coder) "why would we set the property when it is already that value? We shouldn't, so let's skip the assigment if it is" [/quote] You said it better, my friend. Remind me next time to read my posts before I push the button.
