My little programming victory...
Recently my boyfriend has been trying to teaching me programming. We've gone from VisualBasic, to C, to BwBasic, to C again, and then back to BwBasic because I love it the most.

Tonight we decided to set ourselves challenges to see what we each did. We've previously done a Body Mass Index calculator (no prizes for guessing which of us wanted to do that) so tonight we decided to do a Mad Lib story. That's where you have a story template and the player answers questions to get words to fill in the blanks with. We each of us wrote our own little programmes and swapped them, answering and comparing.

I am proud to say that my little programme had us both in fits of laughter and worked like a charm with only two errors popping up during testing! I consider this my own little victory in the programming world.

To top it off, I made my first ever batch of non-lumpy chocolate custard! Today has been a good day, oh yes!

How did you make chocolate custard in BwBasic?
...that would require Java, at the very least.

If you
think that's sad, my girlfriend and I used to play 'the wikipedia game' in which you click random link, then the other person thinks of a subject. You get a point for every click under 20 clicks that you can reach the proposed destination page without searching.


...it's quite good fun actually.

He taught you VB?
In some countries, that's a form of mental abuse...
