Cancer Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER My working folder for assessment documents is named "Ass", which is a product of my preference for short folder names and my general opinion of the subject matter. One of the commands available to me on my Macintosh from the Finder utility's pull-down menu is "Burn 'Ass' to Disc..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMiller Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I guess it's good you didn't name it $..t. Although, that would be quite humorous as well.

Bazza Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Your plate is full of Plato? Perhaps it's time to break out the Play-Doh. from IM exchange: Reading Plato's description of the geography of the Greek Underworld...is doing my head in trying to get this geography right. I hope I have a guide when I hath the need. (or Google) Google Greek Underworld? Is there an app for that? If not there should be. You know, for when Google Earth just isn't enough. To which work colleage added: I'm sure Apple Maps will have it covered probably located in washington somewhere Continuing on: Heading towards Tartarus and end up in the Elysian Fields --ie heading to Hell an end up in Heaven that so should be a Motivational Poster idea for moto poster: the picture a nice Arcadian landscape with a sign that has Elysian Fields crossed out with Tartarus grafettied. the caption: Apple Maps sent me here...and the little text: "could be worse...you could end up in Limbo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Coincidence: I also use Ass as a shortened form' date=' the word being "assignment"[/quote'] I give too many assignments for that abbreviation to work for me any more in that context. But I can understand that others have different situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveZilla Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER My C project is coming along nicely (if in fits and starts of having to pause to learn how to do what I need to do). Except now I find that I need to learn at least a minimum of multi-threading. Any book suggestions or help out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
