Like you I use VB in a variety of incarnations for many years. Eventually I decided to take the plunge and change to C#. For me it was mostly pretty easy to change, there are still one or two things that occasionally catch me out but now when I go back to VB code I have to think about it more than I used to. If that's not enough, I think Resharper works better with C#

Or - forget both of them, try F#[^], FTW…
(And I started with ZX BASIC too, back in the day - although Z80 assembly pretty soon came along!)
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Oh yes!! I remember Z80 Assembler. A friend of mine had written a game for the ZX in Basic but some of the screens were too slow. I re-wrote them in Z80 Assembler for him. It was a moderately successful game but damned if I can remember the name of it.

I hope that Leslie is not on the cast, but I have found no reference to the following video here:
Prelude to Axanar - YouTube[^]
I want to see the full movie!. The actors are good (does anyone recognize the Klingon?), the ships look great and even this trailer has enough phasers and torpedos to look at.
Edit: Almost an hour without any sign of life here, only some old grandpa snoring...

Ummm...you might be disappointed then to learn they're being sued[^] six ways to Sunday by Paramount.
Even if they win and manage go ahead, Paramount has established guidelines last year that will essentially prevent them from making something that's actually watchable.
(and while "guidelines" aren't laws, this is what Paramount has said is going to be what they're relying on to decide whether they're going to go after fan-made movies and such)
[Edit]
Perhaps this[^] is a better link.

Trekies? Difficult to define coz like Terminator they keep bringing in future folk that change the past which means what happened last time didn't happen - I guess that means some former trekies are now anomalies of time lines that never happened.
Great for the movie industry, half of the old trek crew is gone, most are beyond getting up or recognizable, and there's a limit to the number of times they can wheel Nimoy out as a wise 400 year old version of himself. (And I can't see Arnie ever returning as an aging T1.)
Means they can tell the same story without it being a remake (Ghostbusters Reboot) or even being the same story (more visual effects, and lets introduce sexuality even though it really has no place in the story anyway - but I guess like Batman 'Dark Knight' crap they might be looking for a way to kill it off forever.)
In short:
everything we remember about Trek/Terminator is wrong because they changed it (and will keep changing it),
and inasmuch there is no such thing as a trekkie because they have nothing on which to be defined
- and if hollowood keeps up it's current 'dark' and sexuality ruinations of good clean past box office hits it'll be completely dead and destroyed anyway.

Yeah, especially since he's been dead for nearly 2 years now.

Stick him in a glass box with a resporator like thingy and have him telepath wisdom to Kirk's great great grandmother?
That'll work at least once won't it?

In the Abrams-verse, they've already established that Admiral Spock is dead, so they probably couldn't get away with that.
I'm waiting to see how they explain Checkov's absence in the next film. 
(Assuming there's going to be a next film.)

I've always thought that "Trekkie" would make a great name for a biscuit.
Unfortunately, it's more closely associated with kooky than cookie.

Here, in US, we'll start getting rid of Pesky Laws like that in late January 2017.
At that time, the acceptable solution will become to use them as mattress filler for infant cribs.

I'm thinking of giving this a try but would welcome some recommendations if anyone else has used it. It has a nice clean UI and was developed by one of the Twitter founders, so has excellent integration with it. I'm thinking of using it instead of my CP blog (the one on your profile page). I've never really been satisfied with this, but on the other hand I don't want the overhead of a full blown blog either. Just somewhere I can post my short technical brain farts without incurring too much of my already precious spare time
