In a nutshell, there is the difference between independent and corporate, freedom and greed -- creative and jaded.

If only people did care the world would be such a better place blah blah blah

But I have people to care about these things on my behalf. You for instance. You need to strike a balance. So you need people on either side of these views and people in the middle. I just happen to be on the one side as opposed to the other.

When it comes down to it, I just want to make a living doing IT development. I will find fulfillment and expression elsewhere (hence the filmmaking).

You sound a little patronising. I can guess why.

[sdchown]

Cool. I was aiming for patronizing.

Still, enlighten me as to why I might be that way?

Go on, you know you want to.

whilst there are all these IT people donning this post

anyone got the correct coding for the GETUSERNAME windows API (ADVAPI32.dll?) doobrie

[GrizzlyAdams]

Chance......go outside, look at the bushes/trees/high rise. smoke a cigarette, or not...

but dont be messing with the win32 dll's it'll kill your enthusiasm for life

much like watching el married arsee or Blairs Witch porking

:-)

Posting my thoughts on why I imagine a developer is being patronising just wouldn't be professional.

BTW, nice website Stephen. Finally one to make my one look good ;-)

I would be interested in knowing what films you have/are made/making, the fascination of what themes a developer might deal with is too much to resist ...

BTW, Chance, in DOS I'd use
echo %username%
and pipe it somewhere useful.
shows how much I know about OO 'programming' on win32 (ie zilch, and keeping it that way for now)

;-)

[Generic Skinhead]

Daaaaaammmmnnnn. You guys are cool.

[tim.callaghan]

Shit, all you guys need to forget about Win32 BS and turn your heads to Mac. I've made a living out of MS, but Jesus, BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNN GGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why Mac, cos we all feel inspirational after using one!

Err Miker, what website were you refering to, couldn't see shit under stephen's profile.

Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

Tim

And Jesus Generic.......... We are utterly not cool!
