Congrats

Wow, congrats!

I like your username, ELITE was the best game on the BBC MICRO.
Spent alot of time playing it.

I can't see how java could be an answer...

What issue did you have with FB?
I would love to help you work through it and allow you to use this wonderfull compiler.

Laughing I found QBN a few weeks after starting QB, with AOL's search (Imagin if I had Google).... I just never bother to regester (At the time, I wasn't allowed to talk via the internet also (Parents Wink)),... And two years coding allone isn't bad.. When you have to resolve your own problems, you...

For news breifs, I have good news! I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Gieco...

ROFL

Once again I offer to proofread those articles that are in early. If you want your article to be proofed before publication get it in to Pete ASAP.
I'll be submitting my article "Writing about Writing" this month. (and it's already proofed )

Some horses are neuter (Gelding).... Most of them were once male... In which case they should be called by a male pronoun Luckly I'm a wild horse.... for now, *gulp* So didn't need to know that :P I think he was high when urger wrote: /////slashes are like popcorn, you can never have enough huh? no...

In English all things have one of three genders, male, female, or neuter. Male creature have the male gender. Female creatures have the Female gender. All objects have neutral gender. In exceptional cases female gender may be granted to objects i.e. ships, trains, aircraft. In very odd cases involvi...

Things I'm working on

• GRAB, an esoteric language
  Circulousity, an entry into the 1 key challenge
  Busted Bubble Babylon, a game that needs quite a lot of work before it's ready for prime time.

Actually that was using them correctly oddly enough.


OK... pete... take this Twisted Evil

" is not an apostrophe!!! AND YOU FORGOT THE R!!!

It's the thought that counts

How about using open office AND SPELL CHECK IT??? really, open office does spelling and grammer checking. OO's grammer checker is rather poor actually, I used it when I was Proofing those articles that I recieved for QBX and it missed virtually all the errors. When it comes to editing, you need a h...

In order to write good English, you need to make an effort to do so, until it becomes part of your style. You also need to have reference material on hand, like a good dictionary (in print or online), a thesaurus, and a good, college-level grammer book that covers the basics that Pete mentions. If ...

I just wish people would learn basic grammer rules: it's/its; they're/their/there; proper use of apostrophes; proper use of the possessive; capitalizing "I," proper nouns and the first letter of a sentence; etc. It seems so simple to me... I've already finished an article on simple English writing ...

New York City, New York
Capital of the World
Big Apple
Land of Misfit Cab Drivers
Etc. etc. etc.
(But I've been to all the NY State town mentioned above and I spend an inordinate amount of time in Albany)

My own fault for
a) not actually speaking the language
b) mistyping

Oh well, at least I can play worth a damm:-)

maybe folks are burning out writing so many per issue maybe 4 articles or so per mag is good if they are somewhat medium to large sized articles...? just a though as i was wondering about that the other day... Nah, it's just that it's back to school time for so many QB/FB programmers coupled to the...

I'm going to start a series on Copyright and various liscening issues. While it isn't related to the business of coding in QB/FB it is something that people that write code do need to think about, especially now that FB allows us to use so many more libraries then were possible with QB. Pete, you ca...
