Fahrenheit Virgo

Still programming in C. I am still doing the basics, nothing spectacular. For now anyway. Still far along from contributing any cool apps.

This is another introductory program that converts Fahrenheit into Celsius--a bit more complex than just printf( . But this one lets beginners become more familiar with while/for loop functions.

Anyone could find this little program in any ANSI standard introductory text, but my concern was learning, besides C, to program on Linux as opposed to Windows. The difference? More terminal commands. I like the terminal.

Actually, on Windows I had to install a compiler program Dev-C++, which includes the ANSI library for the entire C/C++ language. From my understanding, Windows cannot compile C files. This is basically more of a GUI interface. In fact, the only thing you really need to do in the command prompt is find the file and run it. Simply Windows. On the other hand, Linux, Ubuntu anyway, has the standard library installed directly into the kernel. Just open up a text editor and a terminal; no third party app needed. Granted there are a few extra steps to running the program but that's about it.

Hello World 2009: C Progamming



As I learned to crawl in C programming, I coded the commonplace Hello World program. Of course I added my own little touch :).

Big 3 Bail Out.

A friend sent me this colorful article in support of the Big 3 bailout. After checking out my blog he might have seen that I made a few comments of my own about GM. I found it quite interesting.

Sushi, Saki Bombs and Sex Notes.


As we ate sushi, drank Saki bombs and told dirty jokes at a table of friends, naughty notes were passed at the dinner table. That was drawn on the paper used to conceal our chop sticks. Not a bad penis drawing, huh? My friend's girlfriend has got some artistic talent and an active imagination.
My friend showed me, not to his girlfriend's willingness. What did I do? I struck when the iron was hot. I told them I'd share this comedy with the world. What good sports. :)
