C allows you to start coding right away but it's very low level. OO programming requires you to first learn a new way of thinking. The OO paradigm. Before actually doing any coding. It's a lot more initial investment but it's really how all modern coding is done and large projects just couldn't be done nowadays without OO desing.

I'm still partial to Assembly code. :cool:

The cold is getting to you ;)


New Year's Eve

Fuck.

I don't have a cold.

I had a blocked colon / intestine. VERY painful and had to clear it up with an enema :oops: I still feel persistently nauseous and my intestines ache all over. I may have IBS or something like it.

Chugging the water and laxatives right now. Hoping to get regular.

Also started my workouts again and changing my diet.

Also changing up the antidepressants I'm on.

Assembly rocks. Do they even make you take any form of it in school nowadays? I took 3 different courses -- one was x86 assembly, then DSP 56000 assembly, and then DSP 96000 assembly. Not to mention my time with C64 assembly as a kid.

Depends on the degree and school I think. Yeah they do still teach it.

The cold. Meaning the cold air
Your cold. The cold that your body possess

:D

Sure, sure. Again relatively speaking GA is hot compared to Vancouver any time of the year. But Vancouver is warm compared to the rest of Canada so I don't think of the air as being cold.

My degree was EE. Pascal was required and I believe the x86 assembly course was too. That was a hardware/software course; we had 80186 dev. kits with interfaces where we could connect circuits we made to make control mechanisms. I remember making an elevator control mechanism (I believe it was that course).

Yes, he annoys all of AT with his inane babbling. :awe:

That's a different HAL. Someone thought it would be cute to take each sequential letter after IBM to get HAL and add 9000 to it because, well it sounds cool and stuff. <you know>

I turned the heat on for the 1st time this year

Nope. C is it for EE's now.

I've heard conflicting stories. It might have been just a coincidence.

What's the average temp like there around this time of year? Here it's in the single digits C around now. So like around 41F. It does get blow zero in Dec and Jan but not a huge amount. NOTHING like the rest of Canada where it can easily hit -30C (-22F) or much less.
