And I persuaded her to try it (she really hates new things) by installing a jigsaw app - because she likes doing jigsaws, but cats and puzzles don't work too well ... Sigh | :sigh:

She's now on her fourth: she physically broke the first one, bricked the second, and has a Nokia as a backup in case her Samsung fails.

She doesn't do much with it: jigsaws and news is about it, but it's a start.

Except ... the cat has discovered the electronic jigsaws, and has started turning her tablet on, sitting on it and jiggling the pieces around with his butt. D'Oh! | :doh:

I'm having to give daily "find the mouse pointer on the monitor" sessions or he starts getting pushy with the keyboard until he's satisfied.

Yes, I'm thinking of making a cat app.

We used to have a cat that brought home Koi - all dead.
We never found out who owned the pond she was fishing in, but we think she emptied it ... Unsure | :~

Is this expression "I got Herself" any English/Welsh thing. Just curious. Has Douglas Adams sound to it.

"Herself" is OG's nickname for his wife in this forum.
Replace it with "Mary" (not her real name, but it'll do for the purpose) and reparse the sentence.

Ah so. Understood. Thought as much. Interesting term. I did not want to offend. My "Herself" has been around 55 years.

That is a good start! I can't top it, but I work every day to make my Herself miserable and hope to be able to do it for many more years!

"Herself" or "Himself" used in this manner is originally Irish, referring to a person of some importance. Used in phrases like "It's Himself, himself!".

Thanx Dan, That is good information.
I took to be a respectful reference. I had read it used somewhere in the past. Just wasn't sure where.
for some strange reason Doug Adams came to mind.

Intellicode continues to impress.
I'm processing program arguments for a little tool I'm knocking up, and I get to this:

int incMajor = 0;
int incMinor = 1;
int incBuild = 0;
int incRevision = 0;
foreach(string arg in args)
    {
    if (arg.StartsWith("/a")) assemblyFile = arg.Substring(2);
    if (arg.StartsWith("/mj")) incMajor =

And it autocompletes:

if (arg.StartsWith("/mj")) incMajor = Convert.ToInt32(arg.Substring(4));

Now, OK, that isn't the code I'd write but it's a damn good guess, and yes, it'd work for an argument of the form "/mj=1"

Somebody has worked hard on this!

[edit]
Oh man, it gets even better - it reads the Group names from a Regex and suggests them as variable names in my code for a Match ... :MouthHangingOpen:

It. Will. Be. Great.

Intellisense will pause your typing after each letter to ask chatGPT, "How's this loser doing? Should I replace what he's typing?" Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Meanwhile, you'll be screaming at Visual Studio, "Type what I'm typing, you freaking garbage heap!!" Mad | :mad:

Oh, wait, that already happens. But, fear not, it'll be worse. Laugh | :laugh:
