Re: The Programmers, Web designers Thread
Awesome. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Now it just needs to be put up somewhere for public consumption, or be added as a feature on Islamica.

Re: The Programmers, Web designers Thread
I never understood what this line is for:
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
It seems to come up over and over again whenever I look at code. Can someone explain?

Re: The Programmers, Web designers Thread
it has to do with the character encoding of the html page.
ISO-8859-1 is the encoding for english language.

ha ha..the gold medal should goto sixpak. He wrote the logic in 8 lines which took me more than 40 lines.

Apart from that, for AIM, I was just giving the colors alternatively. I changed that to give each user a different color.

Re: The Programmers, Web designers Thread
mmm.. bash scripts make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. although I use tcsh as regular shell preference.
i just can't explain or elaborate why. at my last job, i'd sit and write/edit bash atleast twice a week, for hours on end, into the wee hours of the night. php couldn't give me the same feeling ( although i did spend just as many hours on php a number of years back )
sed and awk are my babies.
in retrospect, that'd be fun, to name kids 'sed' and 'awk'. hah. |

That's just regular Bourne.. it's an old habit of mine to not get attached to any custom or platform specific tools, and to make everything as portable as possible. So I always just used /bin/sh & occasionally ksh for scripting.
I'm a bit spoiled as of the past few years when it comes to using tcsh for commandline, though.. but I still consider csh acceptable. 
Partially as a result of the "don't get attached to tools you might not always have access to" mentality, I never really had any use for perl, either. I've traditionally always done everything in c or /bin/sh.
I've done a lot of app dev in c++ & a little bit of C# & Java, but I never really got into the whole OO paradigm (though it's definitely a lot nicer for team development). :dinosaur:
This convo probably belongs in another thread..
