Post Race!

I really should check the last couple of pages to see what mischief you have been getting into Peter while I have been away... °o°

You missed out, I did Sith Lords last week!!!

I just watched an epic lightsabre fight, and the timing of some of your pix tributes is actually remarkable. ☺

It's funny, I just hunt wood ducks. The best call I've ever had was one my dad made out of a 20 gauge shotgun shell. He shaved down one side of it where it made a 45 degree upward angle from the brass fitting to the top of the unshaved side. You just place your thumb over the hole, leaving just a little bit of a gap between my thumb and the unshaved 'wall' and blow.

How hard do you have to blow to make it work properly?

Do you eat these duck or just find the need to walk around the back woods shooting little wood ducks?

Dday9 doesn't seem to discriminate too much regarding what he shoots at, which means going hunting with him could be like going hunting with Dick Cheney.

Is it as epic as this one ?:-

I keep forgetting that the thread starter thread isn't in the CC. But in response to:

That was it ? Seems a little obscure to me. Should I feel bad that I didn't know there was someone important called T.S. Eliot ?

No, don't feel bad. I had to google Elliot TS and it brought up T.S Eliot. I personally feel bad because I knew about him, but just forgot :O

[dday9]

By the way, I love that video Niya!

Oh goody....I almost offed myself

Yea, I stumbled onto that a few years back. YouTube is filled with stuff like that but very few are actually any good. Most are idiotic.

[Niya]

Here's another good one:-

[dday9]

No good quality videos of it :/

[Niya]

Lol haha!

[Niya]

So funny the way he said it. FG...what a great show!

Inspired by this thread, I just made a new meme:-

[Niya]

Hmmm....Should have put Java/Mono for that all terrain vehicle.

[Niya]

Other memes!!

[dday9]

Haha! I love both of those post!!!

I truly don't understand why people have problems switching from VB6 to VB.Net. I suppose it's because I never coded in VB6 or below.

[dday9]

If there were never any advancements, we'd still be punching up cards!

I truly don't understand why people have problems switching from VB6 to VB.Net.

VB.Net seems so alien when you first move from VB6. Every thing is different and strange. You don't know where to find stuff and this doesn't work right or that doesn't do what you expected. You're basically a noob again. No one wants to be a noob so if you're an expert in VB6 you're gonna stay there and find all kinds of justification for it. I know, I was once there.

Its also this way with me when it comes to learning to program for other platforms. I took years to learn a lot of the ins and outs of Windows programming. I'm not looking forward at all to starting fresh with a new OS like Android or iOS which I why my deepest wish is for this new mobile craze to just go away or at least for Windows to stay relevant. Selfish, I know but hey I'm only human

I suppose it's because I never coded in VB6 or below.

lol...I'd like to see your reaction if you did try it.

[dday9]

I saw a few examples and every once in a while I'll take a peak into the VB6 forum. For the most part I can read it, but dear God!

[Niya]

VB.Net programmers shouldn't have too much trouble reading VB6 code. VB6 is like a small subset of VB.Net. VB6 coders on the other hand could have a lot of trouble understanding VB.Net code. I could imagine how alien something like names.FirstOrDefault(Function(n) n.Equals("john", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)) looks to a VB6 programmer.

[szlamany]

All VB6 winforms are same as .Net winforms, imo...

All this to do about a silly runtime library...

It didn't get different for me until I went into JavaScript (with jQuery for uber-chained function calls) - wacked out event model with call backs - and now WPF - similar to JS with wacked out event model and some of the best multi-threading/UI binding I've ever seen.

I'd like to drag a VB6'er into this realm

Its an easier task to kill a lion with your bare hands.

Says the guy who just started on a card program.

I'm pretty impressed on how fast it's going. I've only started this a day or two ago and I almost have the entire "behind-the-scenes" stuff already done. The next step will be to work on a story line, which I'm not to creative, but I've watched an artist before so I got this.

[dday9]

I'm thinking that the story line will be: a young hotshot card player decides to leave home and make a name for him/herself. Oh wait, that's the story line to just about every other role playing game... Drat!

[dday9]

Holy ****.

[Niya]

Ooo....you said a bad word.
