@Jamal Do you never sleep?

Or rather: Do you never do anything except editing posts?

Jamal

I do still sleep. Should I try to review something again?

Simon André Forsberg

yes, review!

speaking of sleep... I think I'll go to bed now.

Jamal

I could review CO's question above, but it'd just be another generic review. I'm taking a break from those.

Q: Initializing an array of relative coordinates of all adjacent 2D matrix cells

On jsoftware.com they seem to say everything with a straight face.

I'd call it esoteric for sure

Mat's Mug

did I open Pandora's box?

200_success

Or is it a compact and powerful language?

RubberDuck

Wiki doesn't list it as an esoteric as far as I see.

@Jamal No, you should really try to understand it ... ;-) And I can help you where it does not make sense ;-)

Q: Shutdown Delay Program

So I wrote this program a while back that would allow me to set a delay, say 3 hours, and when the delay had expired, my PC would turn off. The purpose of it was so I didn't have to leave my PC on all night whilst downloading games. I recently tinkered with it to allow me to have my PC shutdown ...
