david.atwell Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 *shrug* if people won't show me the courtesy of staying on topic, I won't show people the courtesy of a lengthy explanation. Besides, "shush" doesn't seem very mean to me... Anyway, this topic has exhausted itself. Kreeos, if you feel that this warrants further discussion, please take it up with me via PM. Thank you.

pyrochild Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 It'd be quite simple to write one yourself...] I mean included in .NET so that I don't have to clutter up the source files of small projects or include another dll. MessageBox was never intended for debugging in the first place, though I have fallen into that habit as well. Debug.Print() really is a far better way to analyze code at runtime. Or breakpoints.

Kreeos Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 *grumble grumble* I'm quiting my job so I put in my 2 weeks notice a couple weeks ago. According to the schedule today would have been my last day of work even though I said my official last day is Thursday. My manager figures this out and gives me another shift on Thursday. Stupid managers... Quote Deviant Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ryan Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 What sort of place do you work for? I work unloading at the local Wal-Mart. Not much fun. My manager is very leniant on me. He usually allows me to decide on my own shecudel, allows me to decide how much work I have to do, or if I even have to work at all.

Mike Ryan Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 First would be thinking of myself as a cruel manager who hates me. Conundrum. Second is thinking of me taking revenge on myself.

oma Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 so here's a rant. last fall I signed up for a spot in the seniors continuing education program. I went down to the office picked up the forms and where it asked what I would be interested in. .. I put down learning some computor programming language skills. got the call about 1/2 hour ago. this is what they offer me. Computors for Seniors. or computers for seniors the next step. well that course tells me how to use Micorsoft windows and word basic. It will teach me how to safely navigate thru the e mail process and surf the net. get this for the blurb "You requir no computor knowledge. There is a world of information geared for all topics. vacation planning, shopping, research on medications, vendors, hobbies a whole new world." daaaaaaaa I'm not a moron just because I'm a senior. I request something with more teeth in it thankyou very much. back to step one, get a book and teach my self once again. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
