<0> Well, they are. I'm delighting in your pain.
<1> Aren't you a wonderful person then?
<0> No, not really.
<0> But, then, I never claimed to be
<1> I don't mind pain, when it doesn't hurt to breathe
<0> If the pain is something new, seek medical ***istance immediately.
<1> that's what annoys the piss out of me
<1> define new
<0> Something for which you can't readily identify the cause of
<1> I can't identify the exact cause
<1> just one of a few possible ones
<1> but I've been hurting now for something like 16 hrs
<0> Go... get help?
<1> why?
<0> Well, a kind and sensitive person would say that you should get help so that you're no longer in pain.
<1> I did several things last night that could have caused it
<0> I, however.. would say that if you're not going to do anything about pain.. don't gripe about it here.
<1> not much that I can do about it
<0> The problem is not that you cannot do anything about it. It's that I have to know about it.
<1> More that it's both, really
<1> I hate pain
<1> but there is little I can do about it usually
<1> Drug allergies, and all that
<1> Tylenol, Asperin, Ibuprophen, and Codiene
<1> allergic to all of them
<2> shortie, if I ever find out you're doomgazer, I'm banning you for life
<1> And why would you ban me for life if I were doomgazer?
<2> life
<0> He doesn't sound like he has much left.
<1> Why would that be the case?
<1> You told doomgazer to stop lying JBlitzen
<1> nothing that has been stated is a lie
<1> all has been statement of truth
<3> hi
<1> Muscle strains to the neck, pectorals, deltoids, trapesium, would be my best guess as to cause of pain
<1> The pain is all there though, JB
<2> Goddamnit, it is doomgazer
<2> How'd I guess
<3> is there a way to initialize an array in a constructor?
<3> like A() : array({1,2,3}) {}
<2> Hmm
<2> Dunno
<3> that doesn't work
<2> vawjr
<2> Guess he's in bed
<2> I don't know, Silent, it's a good question
<4> no, you cannot
<4> unfortunately
<2> Thanks, yugo
<2> [00:07] <0> We're not ignoring you
<2> [00:07] <0> Well, they are. I'm delighting in your pain.
<2> Haha
<4> np..
<2> Okay, game time
<4> hehe
<5> alright
<5> im back
<5> and now i have a program that multplies divides adds and subtracts fractions
<5> however
<5> the output isn't in the simplist form
<5> how can i make it so that it does?
<5> http://www.noidea128.org/sourcefiles/15934.html is my code
<6> JBlitzen, vawjrZZzz-: fwiw, I already limited the regex to [a-z][0-3][0-9] yesterday.
<2> nod
<6> Setting up the system you proposed, JBlitzen, would be too much work for me, in a language I don't know very and and in a software I don't know very well, either.
<6> I'll try to figure out how to make it use a nick-ban.
<2> k
<6> Bob77 and Cloud99 were the same person, btw.
<6> (that was before I limited the regex)
<7> this week went by pretty quick
<2> nod
<7> I got called today about a possible position up in seattle... i'm hoping that works out
<2> Nice
<2> Let us know what happens
<7> yeah... got another call about something in Raleigh... that would be my second choice
<7> and then a couple of local consulting places
<2> Cool
<7> so yeah, maybe i'll have a real job soon, heh
<7> though i think leaving my current project means the project fails - they will be super pissed, but I have to be a bit selfish about it - and I think it'll fail either way
<2> Before leaving you might want to have a last chance meeting with them
<2> Explain your issues and suggest ways to solve each one
<2> Toss the ball in their court, and make it an easy return if they want to
<2> That way if they don't, you didn't screw them
<2> And if they do, hey, maybe you save the project
<7> well
<7> if it was, say, about money, I would be all for that
<7> but the biggest problem is working on dysfunctional team where nobody has any experience
<2> What if they put you in charge of it
<2> Or at least in a higher role
<7> well for one, I don't think they ever would. if they did, we are still way behind and there isn't enough money to hire a proper set of experienced people
<7> and I would essentially start over, by creating an actual design
<2> What's one of the major differences you'd want between that design and the current "design"
<7> there is no current design. it's just "wing it"
<7> and "let us know when we're ready for beta"
<2> I know, but still, you've done X things
<7> that's the only goal
<2> What's missing, what would be fixed
<7> i'm coding blindly - not really knowing what's relevant or not. already a lot of my work (months) has simply been thrown out because the other programmer chose not to use it
<7> if we had some kind of design, we could actually set up milestones and incremental goals
<2> What if you and him swapped positions
<7> well, he barely does any work - he only works for us part-time, and he's a terrible coder in my opinion... every cl*** he creates seems to end up inheriting from mfc's CRecordSet
<2> Heh
<2> lol
<2> That probably sounds funnier than it actually is
<7> lol
<2> Alright, but anyway
<2> Seriously
<7> and he just doesn't understand the conventions of "game programming", so I constantly have to explain how things are done, and even then he'll shrug it off for a month or so and then we're back at the same spot re-explaining everything
<2> Say that the guy who's the primary investor said that the only way he'd keep investing was if YOU presented a real plan to him
<2> What would you say, besides "start over" or "give up"
<7> well,
<2> Put everything else on the table
<7> there is an investor, but she's a silent partner and doesn't want to have anything to do with the actual project
<2> I don't think you're grasping my point
<7> and she's only around because she's lifetime friends with our boss, and he's the 'project leader'
<7> okay
<2> Let's say I'm the guy who's hiring you next
<2> I look at your view on this project and I say "if you saw so many problems, how come you have so few solutions to offer for them"
<2> And it makes you look partly responsible for the problems
<7> because i'm inexperienced as well ;)
<2> That's fair, but it doesn't make me want to hire you any more
<7> right
<2> See where I'm going
<2> Whether anybody would actually think that, I don't know
<2> But I like to take an aggressive approach to problems, personally
<7> in my opinion something that would really get us going again would be to at least hire an experienced game programmer with a couple of years under their belt. if there were additional money, I would also want to get a designer and/or producer
<2> Okay
<2> Now tell me a way to minimize the cost of that
<2> Would you get rid of people, would you look at bringing him in on a part time consulting basis, that sort of thing?
<7> perhaps by hiring some kind of consultant
<2> See, now we're getting somewhere
<7> if we were doing consulting, I would go for a producer
<7> that would give us a better big-picture of what we should be doing
<2> See, that to me sounds like a reasonable plan
<2> Whether it would help, I can't say
<7> aye
<2> But if you walked into a meeting with everyone
<2> And said
<7> well, our boss thinks consultants are "all scammers"
<2> "Look, I've had it. We do this, we come up with something fast that sounds as good, or I leave, and you fail."
<2> Well, sometimes you have to tell your boss that he's wrong.
<7> I have. and then he points out that it's his call, so it doesn't matter
<2> Does he have a boss you're in touch with?
<7> no
<2> Basically, again, this is a problem, and where's the solution
<2> Don't go doomgazer on me
<2> :D
<7> lol
