So what do I tell a manager who wrote a flat file database program that's locked up because of 20 people all pushing data to it?
He wants me to make it work and fix it. How do I go "no u"?
Tell him that each person needs a local copy of the database and then to share, they should email the files back and forth.
:?
He'll totally fall for that though. And then I'll have to answer why the email server is crashing because he'll do it programatically!
Mostly I was being silly but I've supported a few Excel sheets that were like that.
Ugh, our old timesheet system was this homebrew excel sheet that people emailed in and then a program would loop through all of the sheets in the mailbox and process them. It was kind of terrible.
This sounds like the old "MS Access is really convenient until it's not" problem.
Which is always.
I've burned through every option, and you fucking CANNOT source code manage it.
If you're turned off by the prospect of playing through Red Dead Redemption's lengthy single-player storyline, but are significantly turned on by its multiplayer offerings and upcoming zombie-themed expansion, you're about to be very, very pleased. Rockstar has announced that it will release a standalone retail version of the Western epic, featuring the game's Free Roam online multiplayer mode and all of the game's downloadable add-ons.
Interesting.

Mazzyx: is there anything I can use to facilitate writing the list or do I have to go all notepad?
I use google docs and the spreadsheet. I think there is an online army builder but I never found one that worked better than just a spread sheet. Especially with an option heavy army like the guard.
Let's get a shared doc up. Like now
Alright pm gmail stuff. I am remmek at da google mails.

Awesome.
I'd say I need $X and Y time, where X and Y are the cost and time needed to set up a SQL server, a web-based front end in the language of my choice, and recreate the entire app from scratch on that platform.
I almost suggested the same thing, but that is actually a reasonable solution.
You keep your filthy Canuck comedy shows out of this discussion!
I am delighted you got that reference
but seriously what is RED?
It's a graphic novel adaptation about some retired CIA assassins that someone decided to kill. Bruce Willis, Helen Mirran, John Malcovich and Morgan Freeman.
Edit: Also, I watched lots of PBS as a kid because it was the station that came in best.

So you're on that part of your cycle?
WAIT WHAT?!
that is how i, apparently, create an eponymous folder for all .png files in a folder
other than replacing .png with the filetype i'm working with, where is the user input? where do i insert the folder directory for this script to work?
Fun when you know the game. Not so much when you're so proud of finally turning your dirt hovel into a stone hovel. :P

Well your mom is.

This is why the walls on the first floor of my home is two blocks thick, as are the glass windows.

rock band at your place? I need to get out of my house because ughhh roommates are just stressing me out

Frankly, this makes you pretty gay.
Not like, gay in a bad way. But, it's clear that women cannot possibly be a thing you like.

Oh man... Red Green...
It's an ex-CIA spy, getting the band back together movie.
Looks good.

I can hear his voice in my head speaking that dialogue.
(Hell, he probably said something just like that in In the Line of Fire.)

well then it is going to
yayyy hendrix party
Pretty much the only woman who managed to be so hot I find her neck attractive.
That man is hilarious.
It's what I imagine it would be like if Preacher did standup.
Honestly, she's attractive, but not my sort of attractive.
I love Bob Saget. His appearance on Huff was great, as was his Aristocrats.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
In which case I have to assume your sort of attractive is men.
