<0> are any of her male friends attractive?
<1> and.. living together.. i'm obsessive compulsive
<1> i like my books to be parallel to the tables they are on
<1> i like my **** to be symmetrical
<1> i cant stand dishes in sinks
<1> her male friends? yes
<0> can't stand a messy mate
<1> her brother is attractive
<1> but he got married to my ex-girlfriend =D
<0> That sounds promising
<1> i introduced them
<1> she wanted kids so i dumped her
<1> that was a long tiem ago
<2> i'm kinda like that cmf
<2> for example
<2> i have to eat all my m&m's and SweetTarts in color order
<1> hehe
<1> we're all like that
<1> in different ways
<1> i can't code if my desk is messy
<1> and the laptop has to be parallel with the edges of the table
<1> or desk
<1> nice track btw
<1> rad: you ghey?
<0> no, but the bf certainly is
<1> lol
<0> 9 whole years! and still counting
<1> damn
<0> you betcha!
<0> we've been through it all. hot ***; just cuddle buddies; not talking; da whole bit
<0> yet he always finds his way home again
<2> if( not cmf.Compatible(gf) ) then cmf.Purge(gf);
<0> finally in terms we can all understand, lol
<1> haha
<1> the problem is that we have too many choices
<1> where to live
<1> she likes to work
<1> she actually LIKES working
<0> working provides $$
<0> $$ funds all thoze good times
<1> where would you live if you had a constant supply of money?
<1> or if your work was portable?
<3> I just added a new field to a table and do not allow nulls. I already have thousands of records, so those of course are null, will I have any problems as long as I set it before running any updates on a given record?
<3> OK got that answered on #SQL (which makes sense)...a Delphi question though - what if I check something in OnCreate for a form and want to close the form immediately - is it OK to close a form in OnCreate?
<2> no
<2> just don't create it
<3> no way around it?
<2> just don't create it
<3> I don't want to check before I create it
<3> because
<3> 99 percent of the time it will be fine, and I don't want to have to run a query before opening this commonly used form, when that query gets run as a matter of course in the OnCreate
<2> well if you are running it ANYWAY, in the create, why can't you do it before it?
<3> what if I...
<3> well because, it's run from an object that is a field member of the particular form
<3> what if I created a timer and on the on timer event I closed the form, so I can just turn it on? as a work around? would that be retarded?
<3> so like, in the oncreate if I need to close, I turn the timer on to close it in one second or something
<3> what about raising an exception in the OnCreate event? Then I could free it from outside, is that an OK idea?
<4> hi
<3> hi
<4> anyone know of a way that i can just tell TTimer to start from 0 if it is running
<4> before it reaches it's interval?
<4> like a reset function or something?
<3> just disable and re-enable it
<4> oh i see
<4> smart thinking
<3> :P
<4> does TTimer only work in milliseconds? cause i realise that i need it to work in microseconds and microseconds are so much smaller that division most likel wouldnt be acurate enough
<3> Yes, only milliseconds...what's the diff BTW, between milli and micro?
<3> what do you need to do that precise?
<5> anyone here a member of a computer usergroup that isn't online?
<3> I get my local DUG's emails but don't regularly attend the meetings
<5> Descendnt: milli = 1/1000th micro = 1/1,000,000
<5> and nano = 1/1,000,000,000th
<3> ah, IC, would the processor even be able to time something that precise?
<5> and pico = 1/1,000,000,000,000th
<5> ttimer is only accurate to +/- 10mSecs
<5> multimedia are accurate to +/- 1mSec
<3> i mean is it possible to write your own code more precise or is that a processer limitation?
<5> that is a windows timesharing limitation.
<5> the cpu is capable of much higher resolutions. but windows has its limits.
<3> i c.
<3> what if someone used ***embler?
<5> its not a factor of how fast you code executes... but rather how many time slices you can get your system to give you at semi regular intervals.
<0> no real benefits I wager
<5> multimedia timers use higher priority threads to get more time slices...
<3> so couldn't you create a thread set to "TIME CRITICAL" or whatever and then get all the resources?
<5> sure if you want windows to stop working altogether.
<3> heh kk
<5> but then your app wouldn't be playing nice with other apps and people won't run it..
<3> why were you wondering about offline usergroups BTW?
<5> I'm trying to start one.
<5> local, generic...
<3> oh cool
<3> not Delphi?
<5> heh. jew funny.
<5> no everything.
<4> Descendnt, sorry was reading
<5> gamers, hw gurus, developers, etc...
<3> oh, just computers in general
<4> yeah i need to send MIDI Clock messages at 24 ticks per quarter note
<5> well the idea is to get a bunch of people together... THEN specialise according to the groups interests
<3> i see...well there probably is something generic around you I would imagine
<5> how many beats per second in music?
<4> DaynaGirl, there are quite a few apps written in delphi for music that use midi time code and midi clock
<4> a very famouse one is FLStudio
<4> wich i can sync my external MIDI gear to with no problems
<5> I know. I'm asking a question so I can help answer your question.
<4> oh i'm sorry
<4> no how many bpms
<4> i didnt eve read that far down yet DaynaGirl :P
<5> no. a whole note is how many seconds?
<4> depends on the bpm really
<5> k. imaging the fastest bpm. how many seconds per whole note?
<3> well it seems microseconds should be fine for bpm :P
<3> any bpm
<4> at 180BPM(drum n b***) it's about 1.33ms for a Bar so a whole note would be 1.33/4
<4> sorry
<4> i mean 1.33 seconds
<5> so that's 13mS per sync tick.
<5> you would have to use a multimedia timer for accuracy.
<5> cuz with TTimer... its +/- 10mS per tick.
<5> I've never used the multimedia timer... but there should be lots of google on it.
<5> http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/torry/showcode.php?id=216
<4> hmm
<5> http://www.efg2.com/Lab/Library/Delphi/Graphics/Multimedia.htm
<4> never even hearda the mm timer thanks a lot
<5> http://www.torry.net/pages.php?id=294
<5> http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mididev/
<5> that should get you started.
<5> so Descendnt this usergroup you belong to. how does it work?
<3> well it's just like monthly meetings
<5> about what?
<3> at some company and then an email list and a website
<3> Delhi'
<3> Delphi
<5> who attends in person?
<3> it's a Delphi Users Group
<3> yep
<4> cooool
<3> I'm not active with it, I used to be active with the atlanta area delphi users group
<4> i found something thanks dayna!
<5> how many people belong?
<3> oh...I'd guess like 100 but probably a couple dozen at any particular meeting
<5> k. what happened over there?
<3> huh?
<3> at the meetings?
<5> what made you attend that group but not the current one.
<3> well, I dont have time now, I was an employee before, now I run my business
<3> the meetings usually have a topic, and a persenter, so like someone might show their app, or a component they made or a method or whatever...recently a guy from CodeGear presented at our local one
<5> k.
<5> so I'm basically on the right track.
