I'm BAAAAACK! (Just long enough to post this… the morons next to me are working on PowerPoints .)

DemoLinux — a CD-based Linux distribution (that is, boot off the CD!)

OpenCD.org — compiling a CD of OSS software for Windows/MacOS

Best of luck to all these folks… I think I'm going to set up a DemoLinux CD to take to work when I need to troubleshoot — I can evangelize in the process! 😉

Sub Main()
    Dim myArray() As String
    Dim tempChar As String
    Dim tempString As String
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim LastFilePosition As Integer
    Dim LastElement As Integer

    Open "h:\kvnrggl\test.txt" For Input As #1

    LastFilePosition = 0
    LastElement = 0

    For i = 1 To LOF(1)
        If i = LOF(1) Then
            Debug.Print "it's time"
        End If
        tempChar = Input(1, #1)
        If (tempChar = Chr(10)) Or (tempChar = Chr(13)) Or (i = LOF(1)) Then

                If (i = LOF(1)) Then tempString = tempString & tempChar

Whoa… It's been more than a month since I last posted. A lot has happened in between.

Carousel went quite well — I was the Starkeeper/Dr. Seldon. I've got some pictures up… This one (random.jpg [local, ~15kb]) is just some random guys in the production (L-R: myself; Trent, a sailor; Travis, a son of Mr. Snow; Ben, the Captain of the Nancy B.; Brett, Enoch Snow, Jr.; and Mark, Mr. Bascombe). three.jpg is Adam, Billy Bigelow; Drew, the Heavenly Friend; and myself. This (closeup.jpg) is, predictably, a closeup of me… you can see what we did to my hair. Also,

…and the last one (add.jpg [~20kb]) doesn't show me, but it's kind of funny. Left to right, it's Eddie, Mr. Enoch Snow (holding the stool); Alli, Julie Bigelow nee Jordan; Dani, Carrie; and Drew, the Heavenly Friend. (It's not that I'm egotistic with all these pictures of myself — that's just all my mom was able to get!) All in all, a fun time!

Merry Christmas!

Just a quick post… Had NW Iowa Honor Band yesterday. I made 4th Horn and more importantly got to talk to some people from other parts of NW Iowa I know. I also found a vest for my part as Dr. Seldon in Carousel (which is the musical we're doing this year.) Musical is this week Friday and Saturday, and we have lengthy practices just about every night. Carousel isn't really the greatest story per se, but the music is all right, especially "When You Walk Through a Storm." That's the big push this week… Next week is the week we all recuperate. Thankfully we have early release on Thursday and no school on Friday so I may be able to sleep in.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. Wish me luck?</grin>
