Cheers, worked perfectly.

@Hawkee Is there anyway to 'unfollow' a snippet/script? I often get notifications from snippets I had made a comment over many months ago.
Firstmate commented on Thread: Hawkee  -  May 26, 2012
Do you browse Hacker News often Hawkee? I see many of your links there too, but of course there's just as plausible of a possibility you're getting them from another site :V
Firstmate commented on Thread: lnz013  -  May 22, 2012
Hacker News is great, certain reddit subreddits too. Dunno, even then those are kinda in niches.

Sorry, read your post wrong. The way I saw it, similar to how the Tharks gave that one liquid substance so that he could understand them...the 'humans' must have done the same. But I mean, you can't translate names and places (like planet names, or city names).

Don't they? I thought they called things like Earth, "Jasoom."
Firstmate commented on Java Snippet: BaseConverter  -  May 16, 2012
You should theoretically allow bases beyond a radix of 16. I see your switch only goes to F/f, when it should go to Z/z. To make it easier on yourself, check whether it's a letter and uppercase and convert to lowercase if so. Then do the standard equation you are using to convert it to it's decimal representation.

My two cents.

Best of luck man...I had it running great, but the emulator just refused to actually run the app.
Firstmate commented on Thread: Hawkee  -  May 05, 2012
Maybe a detailed, mandatory tagging system. That way a user can submit the code as, for example, Javascript; but the tagging system would provide suggestions like "JQuery" or "node.js"...etc
I dunno, just throwing things out there.
Firstmate commented on C++ Snippet: dynamic multidimensional arrays Example  -  May 03, 2012
Consider it? If it's a matter of performance (and I'm not expert on the matter), in your snippet you're iterating so much more than necessary. Consider your 2x3x4 example. Mine would iterate (2*3*4) or 24 times. In your case, you loop 2 + (2*3) + (2*3*4) or 32 times. And these are just small dimensions. Again, I'm not too knowledgeable but surely you can see the optimization in this.

This is where I remember seeing his script a long time ago.

Nice script by the way.

I'm not sure if this was done more out of demonstrating the code, but why not take:

And make it:

How would that kind of interface deal with there being multiple sections of the site that can be searched upon (i.e. "Code Snippets" and "apps"). Or would it be a site-wide search?
Firstmate commented on Thread: Hawkee  -  Apr 08, 2012
This is my opinion, but I think it should automatically be inserted (the hyperlink), even if the user doesn't hit the autocompleted entry.
Firstmate commented on Thread: Hawkee  -  Apr 04, 2012
There ought to be a cancel button.
I'm pretty sure this is a rip (apologies if not). I've had this little snippet in my remotes that I got from someone for a *long* time:

Windows XP (7 as well) wasn't so bad :(
I ran an XP machine with no AV for about 4 years and it worked perfectly.
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Variable reader ($vget)  -  Dec 28, 2011
He means like %test hello, $var(%test hello)
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Variable reader ($vget)  -  Dec 28, 2011
@WorldDMT: Instead of looking at the examples, if you look at the snippet, you'll see he loops around $0.
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Variable reader ($vget)  -  Dec 27, 2011
Yours is not...The OPs allows for any number of arguments, i.e. $vget(blah, test, foo, fah, words,46) Like I mentioned in my first post. Try your script with a variable of that nature and you get: "%blah.test is not set!"
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Variable reader ($vget)  -  Dec 27, 2011
Well, either way, just like yours it wasn't fully tested. I just wanted to indicate your example was different the OP's snippet.
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Variable reader ($vget)  -  Dec 27, 2011
No idea. Not on my windows puter atm, but I'm sure I had a reason...I just can't remember it.

When does it not work? I didn't test it fully either.
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Variable reader ($vget)  -  Dec 27, 2011
Woops, it should be checking if $($+($,$0),2) is 0. Nice catch.
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Variable reader ($vget)  -  Dec 26, 2011
Well his is organized so that you can supply any number of parameters, i.e. $vget(blah, test, foo, fah, words,46).
However, I agree in that a loop isn't necessary. Here was my take on it:

Code

 


Though as you mentioned, you made yours for readability :V
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Sticky Note Custom Window  -  Dec 24, 2011
I would say no to using the Insert key, and stick to the 'i' Key, because Insert does not imply entering some edit mode, but rather the type of insertion (overwrite versus overtype) when you type.
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Digital Clock  -  Dec 24, 2011
Well, you can always download a font that matches it. Get the bg color of the text (essentially drawing 88:88:88 88) and draw over that.
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Digital Clock  -  Dec 24, 2011
I like your implementation as well, but in mine you can configure the format how you want. That's why the window width is not set statically.
Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Digital Clock  -  Dec 23, 2011
Here was my take on this:

Firstmate commented on mIRC Snippet: Sticky Note Custom Window  -  Dec 23, 2011
I think a good suggestion would be for other notes to be loaded in a side-listbox.

You know when napa comments on the compression, there's something to note.
