Hey minty, nice to have you back. No one else here writes quite the same way you do - total lack of punctuation, caps, even sentences (though ultimately, they do seem to be complete). At first I found this a bit unsettling, but after a while, it grew on me - and I've missed it. :-) Hang in there, only one more year. -Bob | ||

thanks bob never really pay attention to sentence structure when i am on the internet as i have to all the time when working at university so it is just nice for once to not have to worry about capitals and sentences and the like. (oh thats a full stop) there is one really poor quality photo of jazzmine my epic on the website but you can just about see her. www.childrenofthemint.s5.uk talk to you soon andrew | ||

Funny... I happen to be a programmer, and I've learned over the years that the more comments you write, the less code you need, and the better it is likely to be (now, and in the future). I never use caps there, even when leaving notes - by name - to others working on the stuff. I do tend to be fairly particular about semi-colons, dashes, commas, and parens, for the sake of clarity - but can't ever decide whether a full stop is in order, at the end. Sometimes you just have to get the thought down. That's what counts. And maybe that's why I have this somewhat curious affection for your writing style, even though it's not what I do here. (can't seem to get to your photo right now) | ||

Bob, I wonder how many programmers we have in the club? And I agree that writing comments seems to cause a significant drop in the number of lines of code you write, however I'm a stickler for punctuation. Perhaps I do drop some full stops at the end because there's plenty of them in the code ... | ||

I'm a bit of a stickler for grammar and punctuation in commenting code as well. I even proof every post & email I send out...no matter how large or small. I guess it's partly due to being a proofreader for an advertising agency for a number of years before getting into programming. But yet, I do find that in these posts, as well as emails, I take the liberty of using "..." in place of commas, semi colons and periods in many cases. I just like the way it looks for some weird reason...and I figure I can get away with it. Wouldn't do it in a letter, of course. Mikey/ | ||

Hey Mikey, I'm a proofreader-turned-programmer too. So how many ... - nah, there can't be any more weirdos just like us, right? | ||

Hey Adriaan, I can't imagine any more of us out there...could there be??!!! Wow...look at that...both proofreaders-turned-programmers...both born in 1965...where does it end? Mikey/ | ||

"where does it end?" Yikes, can't you be a bit more positive-minded? | ||

No negativity intended... "where does it end" translated: "what other similarities will we find?" MIkey/ | ||

Mikey, in case you didn't notice: you went from "born" to "end" in under two seconds. I think I was entitled to a little irony there. Now where did they put the irony key on them new-fangled keyboards? (Message edited by adriaan on October 13, 2004) | ||
