According to this Belgian newspaper the normally so crowded inner city of Ghent looks deserted in the afternoon. Could have something to do with the unusual high temperatures in Europe at the moment.
Nevertheless, I'm putting on my brave face and tomorrow I will visit Ghent and see for myself

Quote: As long as I remember
The rain's been comin' down
Clouds of mystery pourin'
Confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages
Tryin' to find the sun
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain

Impressive …  this comes from CCR
All the best tomorrow ...

Thanks, I think I prefer rain over the scorching heat of the last days

The last time I went to Gent it was cold. I stood marvelling at a frozen fountain... (that was in October)...So Gent cold to me!

Of the many bars in Ghent that are worth a visit, that's not one of them.

That's one of them. 
Trollekelder[^] is another old favourite.

Not open when I was there... I do have fuzzy memories of a spirit called Bols or something like that...

That's a well known Dutch brand, take your pick: Lucas Bols[^]

Okay, didn't imagine it!

So we have Friday beers as at work, 6 from 16:00 to 17:30.
Then met someone over from WA. So I think I had 7 pints.
Dropped in to work on way to train station and grabbed 4 more beers.
No beets at home only Bundty OP, wonder how good I'll be in the morning?
Expect to be home 11:20.
Sh*t, lots of edits.

thanks for keeping the beer economy going strong.
I'd rather be phishing!

A while ago, our local newspaper here in Trondheim, Norway, reported an incident where a fellow had turned violent at a bar. He claimed to have consumed about 25 half liters of beer.
I know one whose father works at the police station; he tells that they had been discussing at the police station whether it is at all possible to take 25 half liters in one night. A few of those guys are big beer drinkers (in more than one sense...), and one of them were laughing: 25 beers? Of course! ... So his colleagues challenged him: On your next night off work, you show us that you can do it!
He did show them. But that wasn't what impressed the most: He took 16 of them before going to the toilet for the first time.
(According to my friend, it is less surprising after you have seen that guy's belly.)

they do not make writing good parsing code simple.
they make writing good parsing code possible.
a hand written parser is still the easiest route for simple things.
but if you need things like the ability to continue when you find errors, a parser generator makes that less terrifying.
parsing data out of a tree, and parsing it linearly out of text using recursive descent is almost the same process. the only significant difference architecturally is where validation happens.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I'm happy that parsers are your thing. Somebody's got to write them, and I'm glad it's not me.
(not being sarcastic, honest - I wish I still had a pet project I had some amount of passion for)

Eventually I'll get bored with them and be on to something else.
I want to write a compiler toolkit in C# that lets you target whatever.

Hi All,
Does/Has anyone noticed Office 365 (mutter!) has changed it's icons. A change but a somewhat pointless change or has there been a security update or am I losing the fine grip I had on reality I had! 
|
|
|
|
|
I know they changed them quite a bit somewhere between 2 and 6 months ago (I am really bad with time scales when it comes to icon updates).
I haven't noticed any changes recently, but then some subtle changes would probably pass me by as I don't use Office all the much.

Company policy, as it is Microsarft & we are a loyal users! We have to tolerate the powers that be locking our machines to such a level I am amazed that Chrome still works! Any update has to tested and approved by such a long process we only get the updates after a silly amount of time, Yes we are in the top storey of a multilayer office block, card controlled access our desktops have to locked to the desk with bitlocker installed...
