It seems attack stopped a half hour ago, but still over 130 pages of spam messages there... 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

My arm is sore from deleting them - one bot got over 300 posts in under two minutes...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I feel you - I have click-o-phobia...

I wore out the left mouse button kicking the SOBs. $15 worth of damage! Whom do I sue?
|

China.
The mouse was probably made there, and they caused it to wear out...

That puts a new perspective on spam attacks - they don't care if you click their links or if you delete the post - you'll have to buy a new mouse in any case

However, I have some consolation: My reputation scored over a hundred points, helping to kick them into the next commie universe

Decided to create my own backup system (as I'm fed up with none of them doing exactly what I wanted)
And since I'm moving to GIT under VS2013, I started there.
Eventually worked out how to create a repo and connect it to a VS project again - and wrote a quick Tip so I stand a chance of remembering next time.
And then I started "filling in the blanks". Created the DAL project in the solution, committed, synced.
And because I like to know these things, checked the BitBucket Repo...no source files in the new project. the .prk file was there, but no source.
Long story short: if you look in your gitignore file that VS creates, it specifically excludes anything starting with "backup"... so everything in my BackupOrganiser DAL project is totally ignored. 
That's a morning wasted, then...
Delete the project, commit, sync, create with a new name, commit, sync...and it works...

A bit OT - why BitBucket (I'm too used it for my last two projects and liked it, but still curious)?

We use BitBucket here at the shop. It has a better licensing model as well. However, if your repo is going to be public facing, I have read that GitHub is better for that.

I don't know about Griff, but I use BitBucket because it it's free, and still allows me to have private repos, unlike GitHub, when I last looked.

What did you expect from a "prick" file?

Well, a "j" would have helped...

Oh wow! Finally upgraded my laptop with an SSD and 8 Gig. Build time dropped by 43%! Da*n, technology, you are impressive!
Maybe some more coding in the future, and possibly another article or two because of the additions! Hope you are all having fun. Tried some gin because of some of the posts in here, but can't say I'll ever be a fan  I think I'd get sick before drunk!
That's all for this brief exclamation. Happy coding!

I learned a few programming skills on my own, not on the job, but through my own coding and analysis of source code samples, like .NET, C#, Java, etc. Is it OK to put "familiar with .NET, C#, Java" on my resume. Usually, "familiar with" means "comfortable with", even though some dictionaries suggest it means "to have a good knowledge of".
This issue refers to the section with general skills, the experience section would list the on-the-job skills.

I can't imagine what goes on in recruiters/screeners' heads, but if I were interviewing you and saw the term "familiar with," that would "register" as an ambiguous term, and would make me immediately want to question you in in detail on what your "familiarity" was, exactly.
imho, "have specific experience with" is less ambiguous.
imho, it is always wiser to claim you know less, and demonstrate you know more, than to claim you know more and then be able to demonstrate less.

that's almost a quote from a Bond Film isn't it - Im sure it was John Cleese playing the part, and a repartee between him and Bond was along the lines of 'being smarter than you look is better than looking smarter than you are'

Nah, it means "I read about it in a blog a while back".
If you have experience with something, then say "experience".

"Familiar with", typically means:
Capable of keying in, saving to a file, building and executing "Hello World", in the language mentioned.
