Fans of Douglas Adams may remember Wonko the Sane, who took Dali's sentiment to the extreme.

I'd explain it, but it's mind bendingly silly, and Adams does it best.

So anyway, Bill, how's life treating you?

Thanks for asking ! It's mainly on an out-patient basis, electroconvulsive on odd days, waterboarding even.

cheers, Bill

Would that be synodic moons or sidereal moons? The difference is nearly six* years, you know. If you chose the wrong one, then you may be six years younger than you thought. On the other hand... Poke tongue | ;-P

It would be the luna cycle as that would make 76 and not 82 and a third.

The getting is not done, but the widespread intervocaliation between w and b apparently comes from latin:

ON b AND w IN LATIN AND ROMANCE

The correct term is phonemic substitution g<->k d<->t and b<->w . Happens mostly at the beginning of words or intervocalic.

According to my latest Linked In email you have a new job.

Didn't even know I had you in my list of peoples on there.

He works for me now. I'm making him stack things. It doesn't matter what the things are. It's all very keynesian.

I think tomorrow we'll try BBs. Or sand.

Not so much a job as a freelance writing gig that I'll be working on occassionally.
In fact, I know that makes some other CP members and me colleagues Big Grin | :-D

Well I at least remember you are a connection as well as a few others, but didn't know Sander was there. I'm sure there are others I have forgotten about.

public static KeyValuePair<int, string>[] SearchKeywords(string query, int minPage,int maxPage)
{
	var args = new JsonObject();
	args.Add("query", query);
	return Tmdb.FromJsonArray<int,string>(
		Tmdb.CollapsePagedJson(
			Tmdb.FetchPagedJson("/search/keyword", args,minPage, maxPage)), "id","name");
}

So this is a very complex query that takes several http requests potentially to satisfy.

I'm really happy that it went from a page of code down to this.

the paging here is backed by my RpcInvoke which sends and receives Json to the remote endpoint as easily as you can do using javascript/JSONP

for (var i = minPage; 1001 > i; ++i)
{
	var args2 = new JsonObject();
	JsonObject.MergeReplace(args, args2);
	if (isPageSpecified)
		args2.Add("page", i);
	var d = Tmdb.RpcInvoke(path, args2) as IDictionary<string, object>;
	if(null!=d)
	{ 
		object o;
		if (minPage == i)
		{
...

So now i've got a way to break this out without requiring a page of code per function call.

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.

reported as inappropriate for Lounge. there are several forums where such technical content is appropriate.

imho, by using the appropriate forums, you ensure valuable technical discussions have a chance at persisting in a way that adds value to CP in the long run ... instead of getting submerged in all of the other content on the Lounge.
