Did You Mean Nested ASP Repeater?

I was checking stats today and came across yet another gem. Apparently some ass-man found my site by searching Google for a nested ass repeater.

FWIW, I'm number 1 out of about 4,200 for such a thing.

Win?

Generic LOList is Serious Business (This are Serious Post)

So LOLCode is the latest programming meme. If you want to either waste a lot of time or kill time and get paid for it (in-house development job) I highly suggest it. I thought I'd have a little fun and write some code that is 100% useless yet 100% functional at the same time. Ladies and gentleman I present to you: LOList<T>.


public class LOList<T> : List<T>
{
   public bool HazFilez
   {
      get { return Count > 0; }
   }
   
   public T Gimmeh(Predicate<T> match)
   {
      if (match == null)
         throw new ExceptionWTF("match", "WTF?"); 
      for (int i = 0; i < Count; ++i)
         if (match(this[i]))
            return this[i];
      return default(T);
   }
   public LOList<T> GimmehTehFilez(Predicate<T> match)
   {
      if (match == null)
         throw new ExceptionWTF("match", "WTF? match iz null");
      LOList<T> list = new LOList<T>();
      for (int i = 0; i < Count; ++i)
         if (match(this[i]))
            list.Add(this[i]);
      return list;
   }
   public void GTFO(Predicate<T> predicate)
   {
      if (predicate == null)
         throw new ExceptionWTF("predicate", "WTF? srlsy");
      for (int i = 0; i < Count; ++i)
         if (predicate(this[i]))
         {
            RemoveAt(i);
            break;
         }
      }
   public void FurEach(Action<T> action)
   {
      if (action == null)
         throw new ExceptionWTF("action", "LOL @ null action");

for (int i = 0; i < Count; ++i) action(this[i]); } }

I can't really sugarcoat this post by saying it is useful in any way, shape, or form. All I did was rewrite the exact functionality that is already there with a differnet meme'ish name. I can say, however, that it could show you how to let .NET do 90% of the heavy-lifting when extending functionality to existing objects / controls or that I used Reflector (which is REALLY great if you have less-than-ideal documentation for a utility and you want to know it's capabilities).

More serious posts in the future. Swear.

ps. I created an ExceptionWTF class if you didn't already notice.

Newbie Programmers == Outsourced Jobs?

Thought I would share something I found while searching for information on C# linked lists that is quite interesting and oddly humorous. To set up these screenshots, the initial poster is new to C# and is creating a circular doubly-linked list. One of the replies is helpful and the other not-so-much. I provided screenshots so as to not have to navigate back and forth.

Apparently new programmers that aren't learning the basics are the reason why companies are outsourcing to India. I understand that one should learn the basics but I don't see a direct connection to that being the reason that jobs are outsourced.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Nerd Humor For The Day

I`m going to put something waaayyyy out there and it probably reiterates how big of a nerd I am: I chuckled to myself at this while programming today.

Nerd Humor: Double D

Only a nerdy programmer can link programming to breasts.

The 10 Best Will Ferrell Skits of All Time

This isn`t related to .NET in any way, shape, or form but it is extremely key if you are a Will Ferrell fan. I have watched #2 (VH1 Storytellers: Neil Diamond) every morning this week before starting coding. Enjoy
