There were good things, and bad things

eMule has re-risen! Uni have stuffed up my enrolment.

Well, recently I’ve been having problems with that beautiful program eMule. After about 20 minutes, it would reboot my computer, without so much as a by-your-leave. A while ago, I was discussing the problem with Dark Prince, who is also enamoured with the Mule, and we came up with a grand scheme involving batch files that aimed to keep eMule running overnight, regardless of reboots. Last night, I decided that I would try it just once more before playing with the elaborate system. When I checked it this morning, it had downloaded several hundred megabytes. I was happy. I’m not sure how long it stayed around, but I assume it was for the whole six hours. Tonight, I’ll run a download meter to see.

Still working at Uni. They managed to stuff up my enrolment for next year, and I now have to do three units as well as my thesis. That’s a pain; I would have preferred to do five units last semester, and just the two this one. Basically it means that I have to still do Internet Design, which I really don’t want to do. Oh well, I guess I’ll just sail my way through that unit as I have so many. And then, the 3D modelling unit has suddenly grown a prerequisite that I haven’t done, so I may still have to choose another to replace that. That’s a real bitch, I tell you.

    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot:

    [code]if (( ret_code == FM_CONTINUE) || ( ret_code == FM_QUIT))
    {
    /* Do nothing; continue in either case. */
    }[/code]

    I tell you, noone should distribute code that has this sort of thing in it; a simple comment would have sufficed if it was deemed necessary to point this out.

    Ahh, but unless you are using O0, this tends to be removed (depending on the language), where did you see such an attrocity?

    I’m aware of that, but it is stupid from a readability point of view.

    It was in a particular thing I’m working on at the moment that shall remain nameless.
