Coding is not that hard, but it is mind numbing. I am old school. I started when punch cards were still in use. I know machine language, Boolean algebra, and I have coded in Fortran, Cobal, Pascal, and C+. Most of it was Cobal. A verbose coding language that could go into an endless loop by using a comma instead of a semicolon. It was a language that you wrote unprocessed comments on what the routine was supposed to accomplish to help the coder that came behind you to modify the code. The code always needed modifying. There has been no new Cobal code in 20 years, only modification to existing code. There are more lines of Cobal programing still being used than any other coding language.
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

I love them all, but the first and last one are my favorites. The last one made me spew my water. Spot on.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week. ♥
Sandee, a little secret for you. I always post my favorites first and last for each post. Shhh .........

ReplyDeleteAnon, Thanks for the lesson. I knew basic in the Commodore 64 days. Now I just let guys like you handle it.
DeleteFirst one is spot on. Got a chuckle from the coding one.
ReplyDeleteHope the weather isn't bad out your way, Odie.
You all be safe and God bless.
LindaG, We got a foot of snow about three days ago, but it's been quiet since.
DeleteSince the first slaves came to this country in 1619, I'm guessing Mr Johnson didn't dress like Abraham Lincoln.
ReplyDeleteedutcher, I have no idea.
DeleteI think of all the Newer Republicans who have come into office in the last 4 years the biggest disappointment for me was Crenshaw. RINO thru and thru.
ReplyDeleteRich, I think you're right.
