C'mon then. What's a "corking board"?Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Nah! you can grow flowers and sh!t in windows boxesOriginally posted by BrowneIssue View PostThank you
I enjoyed MP/M.
We used it on an ICL PC (based on a Rair Black Box) and writted our COBOL proggies on it many moons ago. Two of us sharing one box.
I still reckon MP/M is superior to a Windows box.Confusion is a natural state of beingComment

That's why old COBOL programmers like me hate SQL.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI found a rather complex bit of SQL that would identify missing ranges, allowing me to see which pages I needed to get to fill in the gaps.
Unfortunately it's extremely time-consuming on a large dataset, and I managed to kill the site
It's a girl's toy solution to a man's job.
I despair of the inherent inefficiency of SQL.
I know it is because iron is cheap and programmer's ain't, but it still rankles.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Isn't that what SP did after throwing up in Carling Wotsit's sink?Originally posted by Diver View PostNah! you can grow flowers and sh!t in windows boxesComment

Wow!Originally posted by NickFitz View PostAha! All of those pages have HTML entities which aren't valid XML entities, causing the parser to throw its hands up in dismay
This is what happens when people try to use XHTML but serve it with a text/html content type: malformed code simply isn't noticed
XHTML was a nice idea, but is best avoided unless you have a system to confirm the well-formedness of the code, and somebody to fix it when it breaks. Stick with HTML, people, unless you want to suffer the ignominy of being reprimanded by a strict XML parser
That's us told!Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
