No idea why you're tagging Australia. Both the billboards are from the wintry ol USA.

The poor little desert flowers in Texas that die when the temperature drops below 20 C? They packed themselves up as if they were going on a polar expedition and while I thought it was spring and ran around in shorts and a t-shirt.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

There was one I remember, it had "S3X" written in a large, bold font at the top and then "Now that we have your attention, eat at Subway to your left".
You have just been Sharapova'd.

S3X ... subway, talk about killing the mood.

An air conditoner company in the Killeen (Texas) area had their vans emblazoned with a hot woman (in both senses of the word), with something along the lines of "Your wife is hot. Call 254-555-1212".

Clearly it was satire.

My wife's hot, so I buy her smaller and smaller undies.

Does anyone still use flow charts to plan code? I do and have been using clunky legacy software. Any recommendations for best of breed (preferably near to free)?
|

I haven't for many years. I prefer pseudo code.

Nope.
I don't know what happened to the DOS-based flow chart program I used around 1990 and I'm unsure where my templates are.
I do occasionally use Word for simple diagrams.
Edit: I think this is the software, but I can't find the disks and documentation.
As I recall, the documentation had a fairly interesting index style.

I do, but I draw them on paper. I haven't found anything that doesn't take too much effort to use that it distracts me from the logic I'm trying to build.
After I've wrapped my own head around the problem I usually just throw them away, but occasionally if some snipped of the flowchart needs to go into documentation (which noone reads anyway) then I'll use GraphViz[^]. It's got a pretty steep learning curve since it's effectively just a declarative programming language, but I feel like it's less time consuming than Visio.

Thanks, I'll take a look at GraphViz. Pencil and paper sounds good too. And maybe start using pseudocode to see if it feels natural.
|

Try Dia[^], for flow charts and so much more!
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too!

Maybe for High Level architecture as a means to explane to the non-technical persons what we're aiming to achieve, but not for low level code.

I never plan code.

For complex processes it does help me to visualize the steps. I use Visio basic flowchart shapes.

Not generally to plan code, but I use Visutin Visustin - Flow chart generator to create after-built flow charts. It handles (I think) about 40 different languages from COBOL to Assembly and has some very nice printing to Visio style files and a few other things. You can get a trial version that works for smaller code bases.

Downloaded the demo and love it, but just a bit expensive for my casual use. Thanks.

Very basic, but sometimes I use Google Drawings on Google Drive.
