Hmmm... it's not so easy to change the destination folder in steam - it's in the local settings... it doesn't change as accident. and the default is *not* the desktop.
steam is very safe for kids and people with minor technical knowledge (most don't change the defaults at all)... so normally it would just install in x86\steam\steamapps\...<some sub="" folder="">
So you, your kid, or your wife must have set the "default installation folder" manually to the desktop folder... never heard about anyhting like that before --- who has configured the steam installation? (i mean not the game - i mean steam itself)
You know nothing, Jon Snow.

and/or Gin!
I am fixing a problem low down in one of the base classes. I have applied a fix and an 'allow old stuff to still work' cludge. I am slowly removing all the old code and replacing it with the working solution; it's used in around a hundred places. Then I will remove the cludge and accept the failures. It appears to be okay so far but I fear I am about to hit the problem blocks real soon.
The code is in Matlab.
I do not know Matlab.

Da boss is right good at it and we have a couple of contractors doing most of the dirty work. I want to keep away from it as much as possible, I'm really working on infrastructure and deployment rather than development.
However, I found a wee foul up that would cause me headaches and by the time I'd found what was wrong it became apparent that I am going to be fixing it.
Fun. Maybe I should check for any Matlab questions that haven't be marked as 'Not a real language' by Bel Shamharoth.
p.s. Matlab isn't all that bad or at least the way this is written isn't too bad.

I had to de-fark the work of a numbnuts who had decided that it was the bee's knees and that everyone should use it for everything, a few years ago. Someone later replaced the convoluted, unmaintainable cr@p that the numbnuts had written with a database -- and only a database! No code, and only standard SQL queries!
That day's work lasted an incredibly unpleasant two weeks. Seriously. I was breaking my balls for two weeks on a disgustingly simple problem.
So if you don't turn up in the lounge, for a while, I'll know why -- and offer you my condolences in advance.

Hi All,
The company I had the interview with that I was sweating on came back to the agent today, they are 'too busy, to take anyone on at this point in time', Umm OK why interview someone, leave them hanging over the weekend if you know you are too busy. I am confused as the feedback was I am told 'He is what we need, but we haven't got time to seat him in the firm' I do have another interview coming up on Friday...
|

That's a bugger - but perhaps you are better off out of it.
Most likely, they have money problems and don't want to pay what you are worth...
But just send a polite "thank you" and if they do find the time later, etc. ...
Other wise, good luck for Friday!

My sentiments exactly. Of course, it could also be that they have read some of his lounge posts during the weekend...
