Title: What's your problem?
Post by: rabid_fox on October 01, 2008, 07:23:44 PM

The use of pictures rather than words is appreciated. Eveyone's got a problem. What's yours?

My problem is that I have to stay overnight at work twice a week and sleep on cardboard boxes on the lab floor, assuming I have time to sleep.   :<

The firm I've been working for since it was founded in 2002 is going to be merged with another one.  This does not make me a very happy bunny.  Overall it should make things better, and it looks like my ass is pretty safe, and we're probably not going to relocate, but as you can probably imagine it's become a very stressful day for me.

I don't have a picture of that, but if it wasn't the top worry, my main peeve would be the Symbian OS.

Call me a socialist hippie, but I've always believed that money isn't everything.  I'm sure I could get a better paid job, but the thing about this one is that (so far) it has been fun and challenging.

  I never said money was my only drive! Unfortunately though, to have fun, one must first have security. At least in my viewpoint.

Yeah, I need a job. I've been searching for over a month now through many place, driving much, searching online, submitting applications, and have thus far had one interview. I tried going for one that might give experience to my major or tuition reimbursement, but nothing has happened there so now I'm looking for anything wiht the same results.     :januscat

Cincinnati, actually...  my arrow overshot a little.  Moving there because I have friends in the area, and I NEED to get out of Fayetteville!!  i have to escape soon or I might be trapped forever!  also: I miss Midwest weather.  it's too damn hot here.

(http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m376/jack_mcslay/screenshots/Captura_da_tela.jpg)

(for those who don't understand, he took a value that is already a string, converted it to a string again several times over and for some weird reason found it nessecary to perform each replace twice)
Title: Re: What's your problem?

Title: Re: What's your problem?
Post by: Jack McSlay on October 07, 2008, 08:37:16 PM
nope, it's a method to replace occurrences of a sequence of characters in a string, not values in an array
Title: Re: What's your problem?
Post by: Mao on October 07, 2008, 08:39:02 PM
In some languages... a string is an array of characters.  What language are you using? :)
Title: Re: What's your problem?
Post by: Jack McSlay on October 07, 2008, 08:49:17 PM
javascript, which makes strings and arrays very different things (even tho firefox and others allow to treat as string as an array, but this is not recommended since Internet Exploder does not)
Title: Re: What's your problem?
Post by: llearch n'n'daCorna on October 08, 2008, 03:02:20 AM
I meant as a list of things to replace, rather like str_replace in php.

Which would mean you only needed one single line, instead of 8 or 10...
Title: Re: What's your problem?
Post by: Jack McSlay on October 08, 2008, 03:10:01 AM
nope, JS doesn't have an (Array,Array) or (Array,string) overload for the replace method, therefore it is correct to do the replace one by one.
However, this function is meant to filter out characters when typing something on a text field, so he should have just used the event to find out what key was being pressed instead of going through the trouble of removing the unallowed characters

A series of problems from my life eh?  Well, in order of importance to my problems are:
1.  sleeping
2.  eating
3.  drinking (nonalcoholic at the moment)
4.  No romantic love interest, nor any chance of getting a romantic love interest.
5.  a small pea-sized lump on the left side of my chest.
6.  the crackle-pop sounds that come from my skeletal frame when I stand up some times.
7.  The good chance that I'll become genetically diabetic.
8.  I'm a virgin.....  You know what?  This one's a bit more life-threatening, so maybe I should put it higher up...  Lots of cults popping up nowadays.
9.  NEED MORE MONEY!
10.  General suckitude of my life
11.  I bitch too much about the problems in my life.
12.  I keep putting things in ordered lists.

(there are not and will not be any pictures related to any of these.  Thank your chosen diety for breaking every camera that comes near me.)

Hmm.. yeah for js to block a key press that isn't desired, use a regexp.


         var keynum;
          var keychar;
          var check;

         if(window.event){
           keynum = e.keyCode;
         }
         else if(e.which){
           keynum = e.which;
         }
          keychar = String.fromCharCode(keynum);
          check = /^[A-Za-z0-9]$/;
          return check.test(keychar)


That one there I picked up a while back, I can't remember where from but it's not a creation of my own.  It also happens to be what my problem is.  Programming.  I'm not good at it, but I can't stop doing it.

I drink about 5 canned heart attacks (Mountain Dew) a day regularly.  I've been known to drink several more on days on which I'm stressed/bored.

I'm sure that's a bit of a problem....  Especially since my family has a long history of heart-related illness....
