Pascal and me

Okay, so Pascal is not a hard language to pick up. In fact, now that I’ve got some basic principles to most languages down, I think picking up languages is going to get easier and easier as this summer progresses. I’ve gotten most of my code written up for my program that’s due on Monday. Not bad considering I worked on most of it last night for only 4 hours (most of my other coding projects that I do usually take me around 20-30 hours of my time to complete). I’ve tinkered with it here and there through out the day whenever I get around to it. It’s nice being able to just reach over and grab my laptop and tinker for a few minutes on it.

As a result of me tinkering today, I have seriously begun toying with the idea of posting summaries and snippets of code that I write. It will be nothing like Amy and how she writes complete scripts for people to use. Instead, it will be for whenever I create a particular piece of code that I think would be useful for other programmers to have access to. Sean had originally mentioned this idea to me. My code has never been something that I can usually display the results of. In fact, some code that I write, the outside world will never see considering it’s classified. There is a lot of little code segments, though, that I have found use for in more than just one of my projects. As a result, similar to my random quotes sidebar piece, I’m going to create a database of these code segments so that for any coders that find my site (I’m sure there won’t be many) or just whenever I need to grab one of the segments, they’ll be availabe on my site. It won’t be glamorous and I’m sure most people who read my site won’t find it useful, but if nothing else, it will very much reflect a great part of my life and that is exactly what this blog is about.
