Thank you cereal and pty for your help and recommendations.

I am going to review your info this evening and try implenting some of it later tonight.

Until recently, I did not know ip's were such a complex topic; I do not mean merely storing them correctly, but the entire scope. I've been reading some other material this evening such as this document. It is a lot to learn but very important. It's fascinating!

I will return here soon with any questions I may have in regards to storing ip's.

Thanks again.

Thank you for your assistance, cereal. I appreciate it.

Thank you for the help and info, LaxLoafer.

But, as I learned in school for software: "Never mess with the registery unless you are totally sure what you are doing." In my case, I am not familiar enough with the registry to attempt such changes.

Also, and this is simply directed at Microsoft: Why in the world would they make such a simple feature (changing a user name) unavilable when up until a few months ago you could do it via Control Panel > User Accounts? Thanks for the non-stop updates, MS. :/

I think that worked perfectly + I have learned a lot from the help you have given me which is very important. I appreciate it!

This has been solved.

It seems like it was an issue with my code editor (BlueFish) or something.

When I removed the % in ($indx % 2) == 1), saved the file, and ran it I received the same error as noted in my original post.

I then re-added % to ($indx 2) == 1), saved it, ran it and it worked.

Not sure what happened there.

diafol,

I appreciate you insights and encouragement. No, it did not sound like a lecture but an informed individual sharing very important knowledge - That is one reason this site is so great!

I graduated from school for software engineering but I shall admit, I am still learning (And that is a good thing).

Kind regards,
Matthew

I die and my energy becomes one with the Gods/Godesses/Non-Terrestrial Scientists, pure energy reformed in a new dimension, eternally.

In the mean time, I practice the ancient ways as an advanced Mammal may.

Our finite brains cannot understand or express the details. Cave paintings on French, stone walls, Plato and Metaphysics, our closest reach.

cereal:

Works perfectly (And I learned more about proper syntax)!

You're awesome.

Thank you for your help, Friend.

After years of tumultuous shenanigans, I have returned to <DANIWEB>.

I am primarily here to research and study PHP/MySQL.

I look forward to my time here, helping others and getting help with my project(s).

Note: I am formally known here from a recently-created, new account, The_Thorn.

Regards,
Matthew

Vishesh:

Thank-you for your reply and for the further information.

I tried your suggestion and it worked great. I understand the problem much better now.

There still seems to be a pixel-width space between each image on the homepage image(s), though; I have read of this problem and need to solve that also. I will research it today.

Thank-you so much for your help, Vishesh.

Brains, most definitely. Most fortunately, I live with my lovely, nerdy girlfriend and enjoy both. But, its all about the brains, really-- who truly cares about the rest? :yawn:

Complex goals are derived from passionate ideals.

How about this and this for a start ?

Keep on googling and you will find lots of them.

Thank-you my Friend. ;) You never cease to amaze me with your ongoing and various areas of study, knowledge, and resources. Awesome. :D

Kind Regards,
Matty

Hi nalds-- welcome to Daniweb :)

about my soul

This demonstration was originally proposed to be posted as a Python tutorial but with further inspection it was deemed more of a "how-to" guide, in this case, how-to create simple animation via Tkinter (Tool Kit Interface)

All the necessary elements are included in the attched zip file. This includes:

• The souce code (in txt form)
• All GIF images for the animation
• A "ReadMe" that thoroughly describes the details and specs necessary in order to run this on your own system. Please read this first in order to understand where all files need to be stored in reference to eachother on your system (** Note: This demo was designed and built on Windows XP; I cannot say if it will run on UNIX\ Linux)

Please feel free to fully optimize\ edit this code at will. Post your results so we can all see it and learn from what you did.

Hello:

I am a programmer. I work professionally primarily in C, C++. Most personal programming projects I do is in either C++ or Python. I am studying Java and Ruby currently.

My quetion is: How valid do you find Assembly language in a modern sense, professionally or otherwise?

I ask this for a specific reason. I have never studied Assembly; when I went to school for Software Engineering it was not required (as surprising as that may seem). My insticts tell me that I should at least on my own learn the basics of Assembly, code some build projects in it to get a feel for it, etc.

Would it be a wise idea to pursue this, studying and familiarizing myself with Assembly, or would it be a waste of time at this point considering that, at least in my line of work as a programmer, OOP and compilers do all of the lower-level work for me.

Very interested in your honest opinions and I will base my decision on this.

Thank-you in advance,
sharky_machine

Thats it..

Are you married or not ?

If not then what are your views on marriage, how do you people see marriage as ?

If yes then what did marriage change in your life, are the new found responsibilities burdening you or making you a better person ?

~s.o.s~

PS: I am single and for me marriage is a sacred relationship...

Married: I have been. The relationship was a mixed-experience of extremes that nose-dived into a trautmatic deluge precipitated by drug-abuse, dishonesty, and infidelity. One may look upon it as emotional treason. I certainly do.

Beyond this evil, I see marriage as highly sacred and as an ideal that can be cultivated with the best of harvests. This takes work, drive, giving, openess, submission, and truth amongst other countless, selfless acts. It takes willingness to even attempt to pursue these acts and then practice to elevate them to a peaceful and bountiful lifestyle that benefits both woman and man. This sacred relationship is ordained sacred but is sanctified by on-going improvement.

I see the Earth at times as venom-filled and vile-- but I have not given up on life.

I write programs with the best of intentions and my own brittle, mathematical theory, but the compiler still spits out errors at me, the code crashes, and the build itself dares me to catch its bugs. I have, though, not given up on the graces of C++, Ruby, or Python.

Women have burned me …

I never cheated :eek:

really really .. I never did :eek:

I never cheated in school. I guess I would rather fail a test\ exam having studied the best I could (and learned a few important things along the way); the cheater, expending the energy to cheat sucessfully and experiencing the paranoia of getting caught cheating, in the end does not learn a thing, only receiving the impressive but falsely-earned grade. It betrays the larger point: learning, developing skill-sets, and striving for sucess.

Someday this cheating will haunt the cheater, that is, when he\ she is called to work in an area they were supposed to learn via study and now understand none of it never-the-less possess any reasonable ability to implement a solution. I think this is especially true in the Computer Sciences-- one can only fake it for so long.

If I could only transfer my bookmarks from FF to IE7. :-|

I just did this a few days ago. Before I try to explain, though, I suggest you find some definitive steps on the Net about this. But this is what I did (I think ;) )

• You need to save a copy of your FF bookmarks as a HTML file. I believe you can do this under 'manage bookmarks' (or something similar in FF)
• After FF bookmarks are saved as HTML file: open IE7-> goto "+*" (plus-star icon) on IE7 Favorites toolbar -> select "Import and Export..." from this drop-down list -> select and Import your saved HTML, boomark file

Is this what you were asking about? Hope it helped. Worked great for me.

WolfPack:

Thank-you for your reply and for pointing out my now obvious mistake.
