still here... just a little quiet...

tim rynne - April 24, 2006
just a quick note in case anyone's wondering whether I'm ever going to add some more content...

The quick answer - yes - the long answer probably goes into some scientific reasoning and formulae as to the "when" component that normally follows the "yes" answer... so I'll leave that alone at the moment...

There have been some happenings in the Rynne household - updating openslice, spring cleaning, Easter weekend, ANZAC day tomorrow and we were a little preoccupied as Laurette and I have just bought a new car.. a process which I will probably outline shortly, but the nuts and bolts is that I did a full rundown of options, prices, safety features, car maker history etc etc etc... and we eventually ended up with Laurette's "shiny pretty red one with a nice console inside"... (a mazda3 maxx sport)

well... to be honest, it did win on a lot of other categories, but the "shiny" and "pretty" did rate fairly high on my list too!

best practice - allowing "Nothing" or "Null" as a parameter (SnTT)

Where possible, I try to split out the modular sections of my code so that, if possible, I can take advantage of reuse at a later date - I assume (and hope) that everyone else does the same thing. In the process of doing so, I attempt to make the reusable module as generic as possible and one of the things that I've started to do lately (primarily due to the work we've done on openslice) is take that genericism to a further extent by allowing Nothing or Null as a parameter where practical.

Notes... full of surprises...

From a conversation on Ed's site a week or so ago requesting some input to the error management in Hannover, one of the comments asked for the ability to cut and paste the text in the error instead of having to capture the image (@11)

Well... Alan shows us that it's already possible... (in a comment @51).
- I had stopped reading the comments and found it directly on Alan's site, so thought that I would refer to it directly in case other's missed it as well.
