Have you seen the big “Z” on Library building? What’s up with that? What does it mean?

At the bottom is “Pi”, i got it, “Pi” is cool and stuff, but “Z”…

Roar Test

Posted on July 12, 2006

Well it looks like I was right when I used all means to avoid doing a road test. I knew that I would regret it. After all I marginally passed the theory test with 75/100 on three theory parts. But after all the struggle, my mother finally forced me to do it. If I could avoid doing it for two more weeks my learners license, which is valid for three years, would have expired. Anyway I had one chance. And against all odds and my expectations I did not make any serious mistakes, that is I forgot to remove hand break, and turn off the turn signal. But I parked the car like I was doing it all my life and saw all the stop signs. Anyway I tried to avoid getting it and failed. Oh I was right, not only I wasted half of the day and almost missed my class, but I actually had to pay for that thing! Thankfully I made my mother pay it, after all it was her who wanted it ;-)

Anyway now that I am licensed to kill at high speed, I am thinking about buying a scooter. Yamaha BM’S to be specific. And I think that I will get one pretty soon ;-)

Oh I just saw this quote, I like it:

“The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That’s where we come in; we’re computer professionals. We cause accidents.”

a patchy

Grr I really dislike C++, what a pile of patches and incompatible platform and compiler specific crap!

What size is size_t and how to safely cast it to int?

Core dumps in 2006?

What does this “TcpThread(SOCKET clientsocket):cs(clientsocket) {}” do and most importantly why this way?

“iostream.h is no longer supported in VS 2003. VS 2003 supports iostream.”
Right, it just produces code for ia64 or AMD64 but not for X86.

And I did not even touched all 500 types of strings and how to convert one to another.

The only acceptable solution is C on UNIX platforms and languages like Java or Python.
