Hi!

Greater Manchester, near Sale. Its sunny but as you say very cold. Especially if you have just spent 4 months in Dhaka!

PMC:

Are people always this... enthusiastic towards new members?

A4000_Mad:

So its fair to say shes not really your "shrink" then?

Oh dear!

The language wars. Do people still argue over that one?

I thought it was common knowledge that C and C++ were the only languages for serious (non-web) development. I cant really understand why companies would use an entry-level language like Basic to develop real software.

Why would I be jealous? :-P

Rather than just use it for retrogaming I am thinking of setting up my amiga and using it to learn a programming language. There is no reason why I cant use my PC for this or even the mac when it arrives but I thought it would be fun and perhaps even productive way to get back into using the amiga.

So does this make me a "dork" too?

Does your impression of C like languages come from the position of being proficient in them but not liking them or simply from not grasping them as readily as VB?

lou_dias:

PS was there any reason you felt the need to point out how your old girlfriend has put on weight since you "dumped" her?

That was quite a unnecessary and chauvinist remark to make considering it had nothing to do with the disucssion.

lou_dias:

"Keep it up, you continue to prove my point. As I said to Mel, words would be twisted and they have been. Congratulate yourselves for showing her what I said she would see. You have brought her to the dark side of this forum. It's only her first day and she has so much more of this to look forward to..."

Its a forum filled with people that have technical preferences. I know that theres a certain snobbery when it comes to development as there is in most places.

It looks like Ill be learning one of the "fugly" languages - VB simply isnt an option.

I think its time for a different thread though!

"I am guessing Mel is wishing she hadnt posted on A.org now, her thread has now been hijacked by a bunch of 10 year olds in a girlfriend pissing contest."

This isnt the only male-dominated forum Ive been to but I was a bit surprised by some of the comments made I must admit.

It was funny but also a bit... sad?
