New programming language: lolcode

Programming the LOL way.
All LOLCats, LOL, ALL CAPS.

HAI! This site provides community documentation of the emergent LOLCODE language. It was the creator’s original hope that the examples could grow in a way that is both internally consistent and suggest a real, feasible computing language.

Here is the HAI WORLD example:

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE “HAI WORLD!”
KTHXBYE

Toucan backup software

I just found this nice back up utility that will do the type of backups that I need on my home workstation. http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/toucan/
I created a nice little batch file that I can run anytime I want to run a backup or I could use windows scheduler and have it run at a certain time each night. Here is the batch script: In Toucan I created a sync called Downloads and saved it. In the batch file I put:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Toucan\Toucan.exe” Downloads
pause

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Toucan\Toucan.exe” = the path where you installed Toucan.
Downloads = Name of sync file you made.

I saved the file as backupDownloads.bat and run it when I download new software.

Operating System Interface Design Between 1981-2009

A Graphical User Interface (GUI for short) allows users to interact with the computer hardware in a user friendly way.

Over the years a range of GUI’s have been developed for different operating systems such as OS/2, Macintosh, Windows amiga, Linux, Symbian OS, and more. Here is a neat article about all of them. http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/03/operating-system-interface-design-between-1981-2009/

And we are back.!

After some network issues experienced today at the data center, jeffwhetstone.com is back online. A couple of things happened today, but all is well now and a new backup plan has been started. Hopefully this will not happen again.
