For The Geeks
Just another example of why geeks are shot on sight in free countries…
Wisconsin tried to legalize shooting geeks under the guise of keeping the wild pussy population in check…
(I’ve been up all night… insomnia sucks… especially if you spend it listening to Neil Diamond sing Porcupine Pie.
Arrrggghhhh!!!!?
You’re so sweet,
Horseflies keep hangin’ ‘round your face
Kentucky moonshine
Could never take your place
And your eyes
Could give me goose bumps down to my toes
Feel like the only rooster in the hencoop,
And I guess it shows.
See what I mean?
Frank, I can’t get it to compile either. That sure is some ugly code.
Christopher, Porcupine Pie? Work on your CD collection boy.Allan, you are suffering from blog withdrawal. You are hanging out in an internet cafe writing C code at 2AM. How pitiful is that? Maybe we need to do an intervention here.
Stanley,
I’ll have you know that my 500+ vinyl album collection is in the process of being digitized.
Gordon Lightfoot is now singing about Old Dan’s Records...
I started parsing the puppy for errors - and then remembered: I’M RETIRED!!!
Ya want it parsed - pay me. The thrill is gone.
Frank,
You touched upon my secret shame....
I liked Abba. (ducks head in embarrassment).
Damn, those bitches could sing!
Cheese, I compulsively started trying to get it to work also, then I remembered the I don’t need to translate anything to Morse code.
I have lots of vinyl also, and a turntable to play them on.
Haven’t gotten to ABBA yet…
Still recording the numbers…
10cc…
Stanley,
I wish I’d had the foresight to save my vinyl. Sometimes I think I own “Duh!”, but the reality is that I simply have a long-term lease.
Geek habits die hard. Screw Morse code - and the *spit* UGLY *spit* source code it rode in on.
...I…
...will…
...resist…
I nominate ‘Cheese’ to be the ‘Dancing Queen’
I nominate ‘frank’ to be… er… who ever does things for love…
Oh dear…
Chris,
Don’t dance. Not a queen. But call (RSVP) me anything you like...just don’t call me late to dinner. My Arrival is guaranteed.
I know what it is! It’s the score for the Shi Lites back-up singers.

Ha! Gotcha!
“...and a blessed silence descended, as OCM & Chris contemplate the ramifications of this new development.”
Check the ABBA song titles OCM. They’re legit, unlike any double-entendre you may have misperceived. Have at you! Olay!
I think it looks like the code to make your PC play…
There she was just a walkin’ down the street, singin’....
OK Cheese, does Your Mother Know you hang out on BMEWS with a bunch of old lecherous farts like Oldcatman and Christopher? She does? Mama Mia!
What’s the frequency Fernando?
This will probably be my personal Waterloo, but youngsters like Cheese won’t know the reference.
Back to Porcupine Pie…
BTW, my wife keeps telling me that all babies are cute.
Cheese_tensor refutes that claim.
Now, when my wife says that our grandpuppy looks cute, I can cite cheese_tensor…
OK Chris,
You win.
You must have the whole friggin’ ABBA song list right there in front of you. I had forgotten that I even knew some of them.
...but I didn’t see Eagle listed. And that mexican one - chichicita or whatever. Used to drive me batshit.
Oh! And the RSVP one was a mistake - that’s Heart, not ABBA. My bad.
RE: old letches - I’m one too. (definitely hetero - in case my OCM-was-speechless zing gave you doubts). Read the bio. The age is accurate. Admittedly I’m not as ancient as OCM - who (I am led to believe) knew Woodrow Wilson personally - , but I’m getting there.
RE: babies...god made them all cute so the parents wouldn’t kill them after 5 nights without sleep.
Frank,
Pity that Ann Wilson has blimped out like Kirstie Alley. There were a couple things about her I really admired.
Hey Frank,
I’m assuming that you launched it from the command line with “cl test.cpp” - When you do this using CL the compiler assumes that any file ending in .cpp is in fact a C++ syntax file and changes the function name decoration (which is why it doesn’t find the identifier __DIT).
Either rename the file to .c or use the /TC compiler switch.

Hey Frank,
Here is what I did:
1. Create a Console project using the wizards called Morse
2. Deleted stdafx.cpp & stdafx.h from the project.
3. Replace all code in the morse.cpp file with the code in the post.
4. Set the project options to not use pre-compiled headers
5. Set the Compile As property to /TC
6. Build and runYou should see 4 errors in the IDE as the default warning level is different from just running it on the command line.
If this still doesn’t work for you and you want to find out why then just Zip up your project and send it to me: tonyg at tonygoodhew com.
