Just makes me feel old. That first computer wasn't 'late 70s', we had those in college in the late 80s. During my softmore year there was a guy on my hall with a 10MB HD. That was pretty awesome, especially when you consider that there may have been one or two others on the whole campus (I never knew of any, so maybe there weren't) and those were owned by the college (if they even existed).

SSIS is annoyingly rubbish

**szlamany** · Feb 18th, 2016, 06:48 AM

I was told by a DBA type person the other day (new in his job) that my preference to write executable's in .Net over procedures in SSIS wasn't helping him see what was going on.

Argh!

**FunkyDexter** · Feb 18th, 2016, 07:43 AM

DBA types are not to be trusted. They're all out to get me.

To be fair SSIS does help in "visualising" imports and the like. But I still feel like I'm more comfortable in code. My SSIS jobs usually just end up being a way of sequencing ExecuteSQL tasks

**dday9** · Feb 18th, 2016, 09:27 AM

I am currently in the process of updating my website.

**dday9** · Feb 18th, 2016, 09:27 AM

I have moved to a hosting website that is still free but does not show any ads.

**dday9** · Feb 18th, 2016, 09:27 AM

If you want, you can take a peek: http://vbtutorial.byethost32.com/

**dday9** · Feb 18th, 2016, 09:27 AM

I only have up to the ternary if lesson finished.

Uhhh...what's the revenue model for that one?

I was thinking the same thing but whenever I navigate to a page that is not located in my website it does send me to a website with Chinese like character with pictures of half naked women, so I assume that it has something to do with that.

You have to pay to see the other naked half?

**Shaggy Hiker** · Feb 18th, 2016, 12:35 PM

What's REALLY weird is that it is always the left half.

**FunkyDexter** · Feb 19th, 2016, 09:10 AM

I'm a climber, planking is a recognised technique for us. It's ruddy hard on the core though.

**dday9** · Feb 19th, 2016, 09:24 AM

I remember when planking was cool with kids my youngest brother's age. They would lay flat on stupid things like park benches, the road, a truck's kess, etc... I just remember thinking, "OK, put your ankles together, your elbows under your shoulders, and prop yourself up. Let's see how long you'd plank then."

Constantly.

**dday9** · Feb 19th, 2016, 03:14 PM

I have finished updating my new VB.NET tutorial website! Please check if out, the link is in my signature.

**Gruff** · Feb 19th, 2016, 06:00 PM

I like the breezy style.

There are a few typos and grammer errors though.
Also in the last lesson you have subtraction listed in your example 9 ^ 10.

In your opening statement in home.

Visual Basic .NET, also know as VB.Net is a language that was developed by Microsoft in 2002. VB.Net is an object oriented programming language that gives programmers that ability to rapidly write efficient programs that compiler on the Windows operating system. VB.Net address some of the issues that its predecessor, Visual Basic, had in regards to a true object oriented programming paradigm.

I think you meant. 'The' and 'compiles'.

**dday9** · Feb 19th, 2016, 07:42 PM

Good catch!

**Gruff** · Feb 19th, 2016, 08:03 PM

Same paragraph

...VB.Net address some of the issues that its predecessor, Visual Basic...

Should be 'addresses'.

**dday9** · Feb 19th, 2016, 09:13 PM

I have actually changed the home page.

**Gruff** · Feb 20th, 2016, 04:06 AM

Much clearer.

One one thing popped out at me.

...My goals is to instill solid programming principles...

Should either be 'My goal is' or 'My goals are'.
(I would think the former.)

**dclamp** · Feb 20th, 2016, 02:09 PM

You need to add a <title></title> attribute in your <head></head> to give your page a title. Right now it just shows the domain name.

Awake me when the word of the day is Shaggy.

Ruh-roh!

**dday9** · Feb 25th, 2016, 09:20 AM

Did y'all see where the actor that played Shaggy in the most recent Scooby-Doo movie died?

**dday9** · Feb 25th, 2016, 09:21 AM

Oh wait that was a rumor...

**dday9** · Feb 25th, 2016, 09:21 AM

I get confused with this sort of thing.

**dday9** · Feb 25th, 2016, 09:22 AM

He did play on one of my favorite movies ever, SLC Punk!

**dday9** · Feb 25th, 2016, 10:02 AM

I am thinking about making my own programming language syntax to replace HTML and CSS.

**dday9** · Feb 25th, 2016, 10:03 AM

My idea would be to create a more Visual Basic .NET/C# style syntax, let JQuery read the file, and then let JQuery create the DOM elements along with their styling.

**dday9** · Feb 25th, 2016, 10:05 AM

Something like this:

Code:

var nav = New Navigation
Set nav {
	.Direction = Direction.HorizontalCenter
	.Items.Add({New Anchor Set {.Text = "Home", .Href = "index.html"}, New Anchor Set {.Text = "Products", .Href = "products.html"}, New Anchor Set {.Text = "About", .Href = "about.html"}})
	.BackColor = Color.FromHex("#666")
	.ForeColor = Color.FromName("White")
}

Document.Items.Add(nav)

var p = New Paragraph
p.Text = "Hello world!"

var main = New Main
main.Items.Add(p)

Document.Items.Add(main)

That's kind of serious for Post Race.
