Here's the coding in case anybody's curious. Every single moveclip there has this coding.
//start random color code
onClipEvent (load) {
myColor = Math.round(Math.random()*0xFFFFFF);
myColoredObject = new Color(this);
myColoredObject.setRGB(myColor);
}

@ceruleanspark Oh, I get it. The post under coder ponies can only be seen by the guy who made it and staff. It's got that little orange padlock on it.

@thelastgherkin That's a thing?

!coderponies On a often-used Mac, I left bash for zsh and installed oh-my-zsh (then left it for prezto) and antigen. ALL HAIL ZSH

@twilisparkle45 Cool, I use rc. Other shells seem to start up much faster than bash, and have more sensible syntax.

I'm gonna make a cron script to e-mail myself upcoming assignments for next semester. No more schedule book :)

@twilisparkle45 Sure! I'll stow all the major assignment due dates into the program's directory, and it will use the 'sendmail' program to e-mail me whenever a due date approaches.
-
@caret7 What kind of command would do that kind of searching (for dates in, say, a txt file)?
-
@twilisparkle45 Each assignment has its own file, with due date on the first line and alert date on the second line. The dates are in seconds since the epoch. <3 sed http://pastebin.com/kJ7xJCP2

GAAHH CURSE YOU LIBCONFIG. I'm trying to code a D20 system attack calculator that uses a character.cfg file to grab all the stats and weapons required to add the correct modifiers, and it's just deciding not to work. !nolife

@techdisk C is, in fact, the predecessor to both C++ and C#, which are both mostly supersets of C. C++ has access to all of C's functionality via the <c*> headers, but has automated garbage collection and an OOP system. I would argue that idiomatic C++ and C# are higher-level than C, and Java is around the same level as idiomatic C#.

!coderponies So, I just created a free Koding VM to muck around with. Suggestions? @redenchilada It's sorta like DigitalOcean except it has a free plan and provides full-on SSH, so I may be able to create a Poképon server.

@broniebrown Fortran is like a German Luger. old, reliable, old fashioned, and people look at you kinda funny for trying to bring one to the table.
-
@critialcloudkicker Fortran is for weird people and for those who are way behind. Fortran uses column major matrices, whereas other languages use row major order. Fortran is only used in archaic system environments and surprisingly in high performance computing.
-
@broniebrown If it us used in high performance computing ( whereas you may arguably argue that it could be replaced ( and may work better with ) a "new" age programming language ), if it is still used I see the pro's to learning that language. Hence where we come to the "Luger to the table" analogy. arguably argue ? is that correct english ?

!coderponies Teacher taught us about defining custom Java robots (in this case called "Athletes"). Of course I took this opportunity to define way more commands than he told us to and as a result my main class work was done in like half the amount of code than my classmates.

Paging someone knowledgeable about laptop hardware. My hard drive's showing incredibly long seek times and I think it might need replacing. I have an HP Pavilion dv7 (that I'll probably replace altogether in the long run, but while I'm tight on funds, just a hard drive will do). Would something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA65W22F1455 be what I want?

@critialcloudkicker Battery life isn't that important and I'd like to have something that runs fine without being expensive. An SSD wouldn't provide enough benefit for me on this laptop to justify. My current hard drive is 640GB.
-
@redenchilada I went for a quick stroll on that website and found http://pny.lv/5dyn ... Now it is not OEM, and it might be too expensive, and does not scale to lower RPM speeds ( resulting in faster battery depletion when idling ). But it tells me it is 5 times faster than traditional 5400RPM HDD's ( like the one you have now ) ( probably only the SSD part of the esemble ) which means that windows will be up and ready a hell of a lot faster
-
@critialcloudkicker Boot times aren't a big issue for me on this current laptop, since I'm usually letting it boot as I wake up and having it ready when I get back to it. My current concerns are price and reliability, since if I have to spend too much it'd be better to just get a new laptop and have better hardware elsewhere.

!coderponies Mucking around with Linux Mint and creating a LAMP server. Any ideas for what to do with it?
Sunday, 05-Oct-14 16:14:58 UTC from web-
@vt3c @scriboos @redenchilada @caret7 @techdisk Good ideas, everyone. I would probably do something really cool, were it not for a few things: 1) I'm broke, so I can't pay for hosting 2) As with most of the Linux I muck around with, it wasn't on for very long before I had to turn it off 3) Even if I could keep reasonable uptime, my parents are REALLY stingy about me opening ports on our router (risk of hackers and all that jazz), so that would be possible only if everyone was at my house.
-
@twilisparkle45 Well, why run a LAMP server and then not do anything web-related with it? :V
-
@twilisparkle45 I mean, you could set up a copy of the RDN source on it if you felt like contributing to that, or something of the sort, but otherwise...

Well, guess I misinterpreted my teacher, because we're still working in Scratch. Whatever. !coderponies We worked on creating custom variables today and only after creating four separate blocks for four separate walking directions did I realize that I could have just created a single block and made the character face a different direction with a different keystroke. Whateeeeever.

@mrmattimation Scratch is OK for simpler stuff. Last year, there was a Science Olympiad trial event (not official event, but to see if it might become one the next year, which it didn't D:) for it where you had to build a game with it onsite with a certain judge-announced theme. I got 6th place. ONE PLACE AWAY FROM GETTING A MEDAL

OK !coderponies - I believe I've made my feelings for Microsoft Excel well-known, but my employer has a raging hate-on for logical processes and quality software, and I want to know: is it possible to use Excel to make a web-accessible multi-user database? We're currently replicating work three, sometimes more times over because we won't move away from spreadsheets into databases. Like going to war with Nerf and Super-Soakers; good for their intended purposes, similar to the real deal, and completely godforsakenly inadequate to the task at hand. -_- tl:dr FML.

@scribus The only thing I can do is to express my deepest and most sincere condolences over your work. Using spreadsheets as a form of database is a crime against humanity and the current state of technology.

@broniebrown I've told them repeatedly. I've even outlined the wonderful system that would automate hundreds of work-hours a week by making what someone else is already doing count towards the result they want. The only thing keeping me from going ahead and cussing doing it is that I know it would be a waste of time & I'm not getting paid for it anyway.
