Title: VoidMain now "void main"
Post by: voidmain on 6 September 2002, 07:30: Well, I didn't want to start a new topic on this subject but m0r appears to have closed the old thread. But anyhoo, I feel pretty stupid now. Don't remember why I signed up as "VoidMain" when I wanted "void main". m0r is right, spaces could not have been my limitation. Maybe I really did want it to be "VoidMain" so as to add a little obfuscation.

At any rate, I just now changed it to "void main" because I think it's more appropriate and less confusing. In fact, I might have actually tried initially to set it to "void main()" but I think it was the parens that it didn't allow so I just got annoyed and made it "VoidMain" in rebellion...

Post by: Calum on 6 September 2002, 12:16: how confusing. Maybe i should be "A. Href" or maybe "phpbb_db" although gods know i am having a fucking trouble with the latter at the moment...

Post by: badkarma on 6 September 2002, 13:40: It should be int main because every *nix program should return a result code ;)

then again, int main( int argc, char** argv) is such a unwieldy forum handle ;)

Post by: voidmain on 6 September 2002, 13:56: You are absolutely correct Karma and to tell you the truth I debated over that very fact for agonizing seconds. But I thought "void main" had a little better ring to it for a name. Either that or "dev null" but I just noticed today that one was previously used by Leo over at Tech TV so I certainly wouldn't want there to be any confusion there...

Post by: foobar on 6 September 2002, 23:52: dev null would be cool. Too bad it's taken.
I've been considering changing my name too, but, wtf ... people know me as f00 so why ... ?

Post by: voidmain on 7 September 2002, 00:56: Moving it to the lounge was the right thing to do. Closing the thread was not, as I was not allowed to reply after you moved it.

All I can say is there was no "post reply" button when I went to reply, and there was no "" button obove the messages. Someone else may have closed it, then reopened it at some point after but I certainly wasn't seeing things at the time. But it's certainly not the end of the world...
