potato, potato, potato!

read about some lady addicted to Diet Coke - remember in the 80’s how bad diet sodas tasted? somewhere along the line i got hooked too, but not that bad. in a restaurant, if it serves Coke, I’ll get a diet. if it’s Pepsi, it’s straight Pepsi for me. never liked the diet pepsi. odd.

also of note from that article - soda companies add caffeine to the soda, it’s not an inherent part. that’s interesting. i need coffee.

A list of directory names that will get your site blocked. check your site.

i’m probably one of the last people on earth to understand RSS. I understand what it does, and even how to get the feeds. but i’ve never seen it in action, and therefore i have no passion for it, as others do. i find it extremely hard to find information on how to create an RSS feed, for this site for example. I’ve tried rssify.php but it never worked. i know i’m missing out on a huge thing here, but until i see why its so great, i suppose i will stay in the dark about it.

grrrrrrrrr….
another busy week. that’s a good thing. somehow…
funny: i got a resume in the mail yesterday. after looking through my site logs i discovered that i’m listed as an employer on a local college website. the kid just graduated that college.

Steve at OffOnATangent has inspired me to use some neurons i haven’t used in 20+ years.

The Challenge: Code the song “99 bottles of Beer on the Wall in BASIC

he originally posted…

10 REM Basic version of 99 bottles of beer
20 FOR X=100 TO 1 STEP -1
30 PRINT X;”Bottle(s) of beer on the wall,”;X;”bottle(s) of beer”
40 PRINT “Take one down and pass it around,”
50 PRINT X-1;”bottle(s) of beer on the wall”
60 NEXT

…but that doesn’t work.

Here’s my solution

10 REM BASIC VERSION OF 99 BOTTLES
20 X=99
30 PRINT X;”BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL”;X;”BOTTLES OF BEER”
40 PRINT “TAKE ONE DOWN AND PASS IT AROUND”
50 X=X-1
60 PRINT X;”BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL”
70 IF X=0 END
80 GOTO 30

I tested this at the very cool BASIC simulator and had it working in about 10 minutes.

that was fun - thanks, Steve
