*ears perk up*

Data..... and code.... ?

*drools*

Might be stretching the truth a little. I'm not smart, I'm just good at overcoming frustration. :)

You finally got some replies to a photo (hurray!).
Maybe cz most of the other pix had your face cut in half for some reason... Anyway, it would be great if we saw you around the boards more often, you seem to know your stuff.

Btw, you asked me once about that self-titled Morgen album, I don't think I did answer it. So if you're still around: I think that album is a must.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty much the most inefficient programmer out there. What most people can do in 5 lines I do in 10 lines. :(

You're sweet :). I like to snoop around and check out the album reviews and stuff...It'd be fun to write some too I just never have the time to so mostly I just check out what people are posting then get back to my stuff. Ya you never answered about that. I figured sometimes albums have to grow on you. I'm all about the live experience and it's really awesome when bands can capture that in a recording. So, that's what I look for. The raw element, sucks when a recording sounds too polished/planned out, in my opinion. But anyways, thanks. I trust your judgment and look forward to listening to it.

I'm the same way though.
In Visual Basic, I prefer to use conditional programming with IF..THEN..ELSE instead of finding scripts that automate in a single line. I think it stems from me messing with Qbasic back in the day, which was all rigorous like that. But I like to know every little decision that's made and make them based on my own planning, so I'll write code in that way because it's easier to understand what's happening in a logical sense instead of relying on something I have less of a grip on.

duga 04-07-2010 11:53 PM

Depending on how complex the program is meant to be, I feel like I have less of a grip on things if I have a giant load of if/else statements. But I do know what you mean.

Way to nerd it up.

Totally, I do that too. 'Cause then I can go through the iterations in my head and it's easier to debug when you know what the program is doing in each line.

isn't this ongoing programmer conversation the precise reason any teacher tells you to write out the logic of your code in a flowchart first? :p:


TURBO PASCAL MOFOS!!! hell, had i gone for a 2nd year i would have potentially learned freaking Fortran hahaha.

Haha... nah I write it in my head. Those operation documents always seemed like an extra step I didn't need to take.
Programming is incredibly easy for me because of the way it operates. There are no real ambiguities. Only logic and either yes or no and situational arguments. That works for my type of default thinking, although I'll admit I'm less cut out for situations where that's a downfall.

Exactly. You ever tried to debug someone else's code? Ridiculously hard. It could be the easiest program, but if you don't know how they structured things, it's incredibly hard to figure out what's wrong. Even when you see their process, most novice programs insufficiently comment their major code sections and without it, it's like trying to put a square peg in a round hole because both programmers are operating on a different way of thinking.

At first I was like that, but when I started nesting conditional statements and properly commenting them and arranging them in logical orders, it became less of a situation where I had to read each statement. If you create your code in a hierarchical manner, you do better when debugging because you can spot inconsistencies in a wide-view first, when simply reading each line in its own context is too close of a view for larger-picture issues.

theimperialwarcult 04-08-2010 10:01 PM

My school has always been way Nazi about writing pseudocode for EVERYTHING. They really crack down on you if they suspect you copied someone else's code, that's a good reason I guess. Everybody has their own style so it'd be really obvious anyways. But ya, debugging other people stuff sucks. In school we would get exams where they would just give us a program with a bunch of errors and we had to debug...on paper :eek:

Nice kit! Looks like it doesn't even need more cowbell either.

P A N 04-09-2010 11:55 AM

haha! yeah, i always have a couple of those kickin' around! those shells weren't actually mine. they were my buddy's who let me borrow them. at the time he had more toms than i did, and we were hitting the studio, so i figured some option were in order. it's a Yamaha Club Custom. nice sound too. punchy and warm. i also rented those paragon hats that you see on my left. i have a remote and standard hats, but at the time i didn't have two sets of good cymbals for them. i wouldn't buy the paragons having recorded with them. it's like there's too much copper or something. like a beefed-up B8.

i'll see if a can find a pic of the kit i play now and post it.

I only have 2 wing toms and a floor tom, but I have a piccolo snare between my left hat and my first tom that I sometimes use as a timbale, depending. Cymbals out the ass. But I wish I had an X-hat like you do because I can't turn to my right hats for any clutch action at all, so I leave it just resting open.
Dual opposing rides are of vast importance to me, but unfortunately my two rides aren't the same. :(

I need to set my kit up one of these days and shoot some photos. I have an old photo but it's not even relevant to how I set up anymore. I might take a weekend sooner or later. Room is just an issue.. so it would have to be outside. :(

i think a picture of a drumset outside could be really cool...

I'll have to do that. I haven't played them in over a year, so the itch is definitely there. It's just a space and noise issue at this point, where I'm at now.

Still got the beard then Akira? Thought you said you were going to get rid of it, or am I tripping? :O

I got rid of it a few months back, but have it back now that I'm free, lol. But I don't let it get so long....too many grey hairs popping up now.
