Sayings for Our Scouts

[PeteM 10]

Here are a couple sayings four our scouts that they can depend on:

 

 

while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );

 

$DO || ! $DO ; try

try: command not found

 

Anybody think of some others?

I don't know what is geekier these two chunks of psuedocode or the fact that I read them through the first time and understood them without any effort.

[GKlose 24]

It's definitely geekier that you even know they are pseudocode (and not real code).

 

Then again, I'd be guilty as charged too.

Guilty also. (I am so embarrassed...)

I actually sent our treasurer an email a couple of weeks ago with a series on instructions written as if-else statements. He is a retired Big Iron driver and I still program in Cobol daily. What is sad, is that he read it and didn't even notice I had written it as a cobol expression.

 

But more on topic (or prehaps not):

COBOL is not geeky, its LEGACY. I still support one COBOL site. ;-)

 

Back on subject kinda...

 

I refer to the troop youth as SCOUTS, not boys. In my own small way I think that subtley raises the level of expectation...

 

.. that and 'no sticks!'

What am I missing?

Eamon ... don't worry ... try, try again!

 

now ... the jury is still out on:

 

$> man woman

$> Segmentation fault (core dumped)

 

 

 

Now as for our Forum goes ... this is more appropriate when it comes to scouting for some:

 

>SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue>0

0 row returned

 

[CA_Scouter 11]

EXCEPTION

when NO_DATA_FOUND

then raise BOY_ARE_WE_IN_TROUBLE

when TOO_MANY_ROWS

then raise THATS_BETTER_NOW

 

 

[Eamonn 61]

Well China's had a butchers, but this frog has got me.

Going to wag to the trouble and strife or maybe the dustbin?

Eamonn

(Think I might start posting in Cockney Slang!)

Well mates (China Plate = Mate) Had a look (Butchers Hook = Look) but this road (Frog and toad =road) Going to wag (Chin wag =nag) to the trouble and strife(= wife) or maybe the dustbin(dustbin lid = kid)

Ea =Me!

Factoid ... you can't spell geek w/o a double E's (EE)! (BSEE '88)

All else = nerds(This message has been edited by OneHour)

[GKlose 24]

For me, BSEE '83, MS '85.

 

But I don't particularly consider myself geeky.

 

If you met me, I think you'd think more "doofy."

The second one is a Yoda saying:

 

 

$DO || ! $DO ; try

try: command not found

 

Do or do not. There is no try

[OneHour 11]

"Remember, a Scouter's strength flows from the Scout Oath and Law. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. OldGreyOwl... OldGreyOwl... do not... do not underestimate the powers of the ACLU or suffer your father's fate you will. OldGreyOwl, when gone are we... the last of the Scouter will you be. OldGreyOwl, the Scouting runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned, OldGreyOwl."
