Lorraine is the salt (name of girl I liked)
it may be changed to your liking, working on new one in which salts are random or inputted by user.
Currently finishing Steve project and NetSteve
ofcourse "hello world"
all great programmers start with "hello world"
so y not
well, i think he means something you can call your "own" and has a TRUE purpose to serve something or someone.
A combination of lots of different things. I have a stand alone hard drive with lots of emulation related things on it and 3 C programs written by me. One being Install. It uses a self-tinkered CopyFile function to do the file transfering. Then Remove.exe which simply removes everything copied by Install.exe. Finally Menu.exe which is a selection menu for all emulators not offering a GUI ( on a major scale ). This stand-alone hard drive can be hooked into any PC in which after doing so you run Install.exe. Install copies everything to the C: drive in a rightfully titled folder emulation. It copies with neat directory structure and sets up Menu.exe for use and notifies the user of Remove.exe.
One thing sets it all up ready to go. The directory structure and associated files are also arranged so new emulators, and roms may be added into the setup very easily.
It's sort of a "modular" storage device. It's most definately a WIP. :D
I am still trying to compile it.
Ummm...isnt the crypt function available from the cmdline on most nixes?Quote:

my first finished real code project was a fight with a goblin... started before i knew how to use functions or anything about a few weeks into progamming, i eventually completed it with the use of one function and things i learned as i went along, the code is a mess and i'd be embarassed to post it.
...now ain't THAT the God's honest truth!! I still get a kick reading my old code. My first real attempt at a program was one that allowed the user to choose an element and let the program find the most probable atomical matches. It was cool to type in: "Oxygen" and see that old black box spit out: "Found O-H-H" (water!). I was so proud of myself!Quote:
