Would you guys use such a thing?

I thought about writing an app that blocks access to the IP address range of AT forum servers for a given amount of time. So if you need to concentrate into something for 1 hour, just hit the "1 hour" button and you will be blocked from ATOT completely.

Any interests?

For the truly obsessed, eh?

Why not use .NET to make the computer shock you with electricity if you attempt to
access the web page, .NET is suppose to be able to do everything, right?

I will set it up for you, but the on-site installation fee is a pre-payment of $2000 (US currency) up front.

Trust me. Works better than lobotomy.

We only use premium quality voltage transformers.

well let me ask you this...what would be the advantage of coding it in .NET?
Or just for the hell of it?

I'd be interested in that. Only problem is I would just end the process and get back into OT whenever I felt the need

Because I'm most comfortable with it at the moment.

And I want to learn about the System.Net class library. Just wondering if I could code up something practical to learn.

True. That's a problem.

Well Java is pretty good too. I want to try some J2EE some time soon.

I must say....Java is pretty sweet. GUI development is also a breeze.
I pretty strayed away from any GUI stuff when I use to do C. Does the .NET
framework help with GUI stuff at all? I've yet to dabble in C#...

<< so do you have this app done by now or what?

I'm halfway finished with my paper! :p
>>


I was about to go to bed but I am now caught up in a REALLY BAD conversation with my dad. He disagrees with just about everything I say and wants to impose everything from his point of view.

Yet he claims that he respects my opinions. Grr...

BTW, do a search on "COM Interop". I was coding an application that extracts Tasks from an Outlook folder.

Sorry to hear that...but that's what parents are there for...to share and mold your thoughts so you become assimulated....
I think that was the main objective....err...proper corrective parenting method.

COM Interop?...alright.... And why are you playing with Outlook....lets try to be useful here... :p

How so? I'm taking a class in Java and GUI development is a pain. In .NET you just drag and drop. In Java you have to go through a TON of work. What app do you use to develop?

Any GUI development in any language is a pain when done manually. Constructing a GUI in Java using Swing/AWT is obviously much easier than constructing a GUI using the win32 api with GetMessage()/TranslateMessage()/CreateWindow() and friends, but nothing makes it easier than using Visual Studio.NET :D. One could just as easily construct a GUI in .NET manually, but Visual Studio.NET makes it far less tedious.

No raw sockets in .NET :( You could, however, use p/invoke to call the same routines you'd call in a standard C, or C++ app...

I personally wouldn't use it.

How's a .Net app going to control TCP/IP in the way you suggest though?

I don't know. That's why I want to find out. :)

I personally wouldn't trust my app, though. I've never done any network programming. ;)
