This trip is madd fun. I have a million pictures, but I only picked one or two to share since it'd be a pain in the butt for me to post them all (besides I'm not a photographer and most of these are just lucky shots)



:Here's some fun facts: anyone can say hawaiian words. it's really easy. Just never pronounce two vowels at the same time, yes the words are as choppy as they seem. So that Likelike sounds more like leaky leaky, than like like). The apostrophes I think are there to help seperate the vowels when they get too friendly. So, I didn't spell Hawai'i wrong, most Americans do though. Those tacky hawaiian shirts (which are locally know as aloha shirts), are considered bussiness causal. Oh..last one, there is a palace where the king and queen of Hawai'i once lived on the island of O'ahu ...but now their kindom is a friggin' state, a very pretty state I must say.

I still have so much fun ahead of me on this vacation. When I get back into LA we're going to Magic Mountain, and then Coachella on the weekend . I'm really excited about Gnarles Barkely, which you can hear a track for on my myspace page...oh wiat I told you about that already.

Here's more pictures:

Buhddist Temple on O'ahu


This was next to a bathroom at a reststop

Ok So I lied about what the first one would be, but since I'm working with some code that's useing the topic I'm talking about I have examples.


Ok there's no Trianry operator in Classic ASP. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about it's this kind of syntax that you can find in most bracketed languages. The operator uses two charcters and looks like this " ?: ". It's used like this:


//JavaScript

var sDude = new String("Anakin");
var sMessage = new String();

sMessage = (sDude == "Anakin")?"Jedi":"Sith";

alert(sMessage);

//alerts "Jedi"


But On the server VBScript dosen't have anyoperators like that which I find are quite a line saver in other languages. Trianry has been found in other places VBScript has been used like VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), and when it is supported it look like a function/language construct called IIf.

A work around for this that I've found usefull was to define a function for the trinary operation, or inline if, or immeidate if as it's been called. Like so


'VBScript
'RunAt=Server

Function IIf(varTest, varTrue, varFalse)
If varTest Then IIf = varTrue Else IIf = varFalse
End Function



But be wary children, you must declare each parameter or you'll get an error.

I'll try to only post things that I think are hard to find answers and things that I at least have a solid work around for. Otherwise happy coding.

--muja

I program in Classic ASP at work, though I'm moving to .NET soon.

Still there are a lot of programmers that program in Classic ASP, and don't have an option to change that could use a resource like I hope this journal posting will become.

I'm going to keep updating this journal everytime I find something wonky with Classic ASP that I've figured out.

Maybe I'll start a profile called William Gates where I can post these things. Ooh, or maybe I'll just start a category called Classic ASP (enknot's kinda slow sometimes kids, you're going to have to forgive him.)

First one's first is the Data Dictionary .Add Bug...yeah.

NIN was the most professional band I've ever seen in my entire life. I've herad about Trent's relentlessly high expectations from his staff, but it really really really paid off.

I've seen shows in gyms and auditoriums before, but nothing that has ever sounded that good....


My friend Andy Blake (a very very good local photographer) took some really close pics of the hate machine him self, and if he let's me I'll post some to this journal.

Yes, today was quite awesome in many ways, but I have the worst work guilt. I'm like married to that job.

I figure I'll just go in a little early and catch up what I missed today...

later peeps

Andy called me last night and asked if I wanted to go to Nine Inch Nails today for free.

Of course I said yes foolish! We have really close to the front tickets and we might be getting some floor tickets from a scalper.

He has a photo pass so he'll get floor no problem. If ever there was a reason to have a hobby it is to take sweet pictures ( (e:mat) ) so that you can get free tickets to sweet shows.

I never played hoOKy in school....hmm, ok once in like 12 years of schooling. I was such a nerd...ssssigh. This isn't exactly hooky (I have a few days to call off with), but it sure feels fun

:P


I'll try and get some pics of the ReZonator and put em up here for ya'll to see. Hey if anyone want to come with send and email and we'll see what we can do.
