Please weed out your stupid questions below, before hitting the comment button. You know this is what the automated telephony and internet help systems really mean, when they ask "Did this help answer your question?".
Why is everything free to use?
Because the Internet promotes a culture of free. And you can't compete with free on the playing field of cost. You have to provide value that people are willing to pay for. And a lot of software tools already exist out there, and what doesn't exist, most people will just work around, rather than give up a cheeseburger for. Personalization and integration projects for people who have a brand to build, seems to be where the money is at for the non-Mensa programmer.
What’s your return policy?
Return what? An headache? No, we don't do returns or complaints. Just improvement suggestions.
Why do you travel so much in car2graphy.wordpress.com?
I'm running away from ghosts. I figured out how Huffman encoding works and now Clyde, Blinky, Inky, and Pinky follow me everywhere I go. It's another bad pun.
Can we update the code in Github?
You're welcome to use the code in your own application, but I'm not opening the code up to branches. I don't feel up to managing a open source coding project right now. Things may change in future but not now.
Are your builds virus checked?
God, I hope not. I hope the build server doesn't end up compromised by hackers putting in their Trojan horses. I do plan on having the builds hashed.
Why do you blog?
Because Clyde, Pinky, Inky and Blinky keep my attentions diverted, I need a place to put my work in one place, as a portfolio of what I've done with my time.
You seem immature. Why?
I'll (and have) put on a tie and suit for any occasion for important people to take me seriously. But I don't see how having an eloquent website is going to do that. Some of the best websites I've ever visited are completely no frills, but chock full of information without a sales pitch.
Code from Github doesn't compile. What do I do?
It should compile. I have every intention of checking in compile-able code into Github (unlike my personal branches). But mistakes happen. Eventually a build server might automatically check in a build date, so you can see the date of a successful build.
Do you support platform XXX?
What we have is on the shelves. Sorry. I feel your pain, though.
Why do you have so many domains?
Because I thought I could use the free WordPress blogging website for everything (car2graphy.wordpress.com, beyondtoiletbowl.wordpress.com). But I actually need an application server, and WordPress.com doesn't support iframes, or javascript, much less cross-site AJAX scripting. So to have an application server, we self-hosted a WordPress solution on (www.tictawf.com), so we can link to the application server of our "favorite" platform on Windows(www.tictawf.net). Yes, that's more implementation details than I would like to give away, but seriously any half intelligent programmer is going to figure that out from our links.
Eventually, we may start building projects in the Linux platform to save on the need for different platforms.
How long have you been programming?
I work in strictly high-level programming languages. I had 5 or 6 years of programming in Active Server Pages, ADO and Visual Basic, with a dabbling of Oracle PL/SQL stored procedures. Eventually the Visual Studio IDE won me over with it's responsive feedback, and I was coding for the next 10 or so years in .NET C# ASP.NET, and SQL server. And then .NET WinForms and then WPF. I missed the train somewhat with improvements with CSS and HTML5, but it's mostly learning new recipes to do the same things.
I could use a book for PHP. And eventually I would like to pick up Objective C for IOS programming.
All knowledge from college programming courses are used as a reference point for me to understand what these language packages are ultimately doing, when it's not doing something I expected it to.
The solution was built in Visual Studio XXXX and that isn't free. Are you trying to get me to buy it?
I''ll set up a build server using a later IDE's compiler. I don't think the free versions of Visual Studio have any problem compiling the solution from such an old IDE as Visual Studio 2010.
You mentioned Mono. Will the code work in Mono?
I haven't tested the assemblies in Mono. I might one day. Feel free to test yourself. I might open up the code for build testing on different platforms.
Have your solutions been academically vetted, and peer reviewed?
No. Go away. It's free. You want to make it the topic of your master's thesis, fine. Cite me, and send me your paper. But it better not be crap. I have had enough time wasted with crap.
You don't sound smart.
Go away.
Are your programmers really dogs?
No stupid.
