Good luck

Well, carrying ~15kg of gear during a -3 degree (Celsius) night, through the Woods (everywhere was snow) over something 20-ish Kilometers (Average Speed: 7.5 km/h, by foot) gives you some Training, even though those were rather rare occasions.

Nice! A developer, and one with muscles. The girls don't stand a chance.

Go for it! I really should start running like I used to, I enjoyed that quite a lot. I no longer need dumbbells, I have something much better - they ask me to carry them and give me quite a workout. The only trouble is they usually are asleep when I get home from work.

On Wednesday, August 5th of the year 2015 AD on the Gregorian calendar, I just installed VB6 to update some legacy code.

Pretty sure VBA is not licensed to give absolution, so I'd say no.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's an existing project from back in the day.

Lets just say I read the subject line, opened the message, and...well, I'll just summarize it as "surpassing my expectations".
|
|
|
|
|
I am not proud of this. I simply state it here as a warning to others, that should they go the way of the 6th of VB, they will then understand the shame that goes along with such actions.

Speak ye not to the grayed wizard of Up, for he shall lead thee to certain doom. Rewrite ye thine code unto the sea of sharp, using thine own two hands, and thou shalt be saved.

Verily I say unto thee, that the Lord has given-eth me time to rewrite such an abomination. Alas, I first must harken upon a call to hastily fix-eth a bug.
Jeremy Falcon

Nay, the existence of such a bug wouldst suggest the vessel to be otherwise. Contemplate thou the very meaning of such, and thou shalt find the creature itself to be thine bug. Bring down thine the power of the sharpened sea, and smite the insect!
Ok... I can't do this anymore... It gives me nightmares about a religious upbringing I didn't even have
So... Minimum patch to fix the bug, then scrap the damn thing and build one that works. I did that ten years ago at my first hedge fund job... Of course, it shut down before I could decommission the old version...

Say 3 Hail Bacon's and you're forgiven.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Good thinking.

And how are you planning to compile it.
Some of the old VB6 code we have will only run when compiled on an old XP computer rather than anything newer. (it will compile on 7, but not run properly)
I have to keep a XP virtual machine just for the task.. (I'm hoping to have got rid of all VB6 programs in the next 12 months.. Yipee)
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not actually. The build process is on another machine. I just need to edit some code and hope to God it doesn't crash.

I assume you were getting paid for such a service... which goes to show your just a tart like the rest of us
