Random Programming Thoughts
Design: Snake

Maybe the reputation points might not mean a lot to most people here, but I don't generally post in areas outside of assisting people with problems, so this means that my points are a fairly good indicator for how many people I've actually helped, and it feels pretty good. I think back to the first people that I helped with C# problems...

...considered harmful
Stuff that's wrong.
a handy solution template for rosalind.info

It has come to my attention, both here on DIC and in the real world, that many programmers do not actually know that there is a difference between a switch statement and a string of if-else clauses. This seems worthy of correction. You may have been told at some point in your path to becoming a developer that a switch statement is "just like...

NASM and GTK+ on Windows kicked my ass!

I set out to see if I could write a simple Cross-OS program using NASM and GTK+ 2 on Linux and Windows. GTK is a cross OS GUI library, so it seemed it would be easy enough. Holy crap was I wrong! On Linux, it is simple: 1. Build the GUI with GLADE and save the glade file. 2. Write Assembly code using NASM to load the glade file, show the...

Joomla Permissions: I Hate You.

One year ago, I posted a whiny, melodramatic entry about the horrible abuse I was suffering at the hands of my employer when they implemented their mandatory everything-must-use-Joomla-for-a-CMS policy. I am now on the cusp of launching my third Joomla-backed site and, while I'm still not excited by it, I have learned to manage (and in some...
