no flies on you razor are there

I can't take all the credit. Some numpty invented google. There's just no mystery anymore. Apart from why Denny was banned, according to the hard of thinking.

the third meaning for MSDN is I've been trying for ages to subtly encourage people to wack it on their cv's in their list of certifications and see what response it brings at interviews

Probably howls of laughter. MSDN doesn't appear to be a level of certification me old bene.

I've stuck "DimPrawn, certified SAP" on my CV and noone has disagreed with me.

So MSDN has at least 3 meaning now, of which only two I can remember at the moment!? Maybe the third one is MSDN with a silent D.

Your brother, tom tom, is a much better navigator. Though I think you'll probably have the edge on him when it comes to one way streets and knowing what a no-entry sign looks like.

Don't know about embedded stuff, but a DOS C program would have started with main, like C programs are meant to, and the command line arguments are passed into that. I've never heard of the 'args' function.

I think if I'd have been interviewing you I wouldn't have thought any less if you'd asked about where to get the args, but if you couldn't work out how to parse it with or without the string functions, I wouldn't have been very impressed.

There was no chance to ask.

It was, "sit in a room and write the code to do this".

You don't need to use string routines to parse the buffer. The arg functions do it all for you - it's a three line answer.

lads,

top tip...

the best way to get into a successfuly .Net C# contracting career is to have the certificates, get the certification, go for the full monty and aim to be a fully certified MSDN and you'll be larfing

Milan.

I can download the certificates just as easily as I can download a degree if I believed that.

Oh I see. That's where they're going wrong then. Evil Bar-studs have a much better time!

Maybe that's why Denny kept banging on about agents really being EBs, whatever EB stands for. Employment Broker?

Oddly every non-contractor I've talked to about this has assumed you have one agent that finds you work, I guess like a theatrical agent.

Yeah, many other freelancers must have to sign a contract with the agent binding them for a fixed period or until notice is served. Footballers, writers, actors etc. Though I think those types of agents would be working a bit harder for their 10% when the freelancer needs work.
