| 14:53 | <@AnnoDomini> | I'm trying to declare a String array in C#. It's complaining endlessly about what I'm doing. |
| 14:54 | < Tarinaky> | Is C# any good? |
| 14:54 | <@AnnoDomini> | Apparently, I can't just go "String paramsy[7];" for some reason. |
| 14:54 | <@AnnoDomini> | Tarinaky: It's like Java, but not. |
| 14:55 | < Tarinaky> | In the good sense or the bad sense? |
| 14:56 | <@AnnoDomini> | I have no idea what that question means. |
| 14:56 | < Tarinaky> | Java has a lot of bad stuff. |
| 14:57 | <@AnnoDomini> | I wouldn't know. Programming isn't my vocation. |
| 14:58 | <@AnnoDomini> | Okay. I think I got it. |
| 14:58 | <@AnnoDomini> | String[] paramsy = new String[7]; |

| 16:57 | | * TheWatcher blarghs vaguely at ajax |
| 17:03 | < MyCatSchemes> | Mixed feelings. |
| 17:03 | < MyCatSchemes> | On the one paw, javascripty pages are generally evil. |
| 17:03 | < MyCatSchemes> | On t'other paw, JS is a lot of fun to write. ^^ |
| 17:16 | < EvilDarkLord> | Evil and fun are known to correlate well. |
| 17:29 | < MyCatSchemes> | I can't help noting that anyone with a nickname like yours would be expected to say that. |

| 18:05 | | Vornicus-Latens is now known as Vornicus |
| 18:33 | <@ToxicFrog> | MyCatSchemes: JS is fun to write until you actually need to run it in more than one browser. |
| 18:33 | <@ToxicFrog> | Then you realize you should have saved the last bullet for yourself, but it's too late. |
| 18:41 | < MyCatSchemes> | ToxicFrog, I use jQuery. I generally test in Chrome4, FF3.5 and IE6. |
| 18:41 | < MyCatSchemes> | IE6's idiosyncrasies are, you are right, entirely Lovecraftian. But I rarely get stung by them. |
| 18:42 | <@ToxicFrog> | jQuery? |
| 18:43 | | * ToxicFrog usually targets Opera and FF, and that's a whole bucket of fun just with two browsers. |
| 18:44 | < MyCatSchemes> | JS library, smooths over most of the headaches. |
| 18:44 | <@Vornicus> | Opera's one of the more tricky ones, iirc |
| 18:44 | < MyCatSchemes> | Uses a selector engine called "sizzle". |
| 18:44 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aah. |
| 18:44 | <@Vornicus> | I never had any trouble crossing between FF and Safari. |
| 18:45 | < MyCatSchemes> | Makes javascript look surprisingly like Haskell, IMO. jQuery's chaining is monadic. ^^ |
| 18:46 | < MyCatSchemes> | A reasonable quantity of jQuery development's done at Google, AFAIK. It's quite well supported. |
| 18:48 | < MyCatSchemes> | For example: |
| 18:48 | | You're now known as TheWatcher |
| 18:48 | < MyCatSchemes> | <p id="errorMessage" class="bodyError"> </p> |
| 18:49 | < MyCatSchemes> | Firefox would have you write: document.getElementById('errorMessage').textContent = 'PEBCAK.'; |
| 18:52 | | * TheWatcher prefers to use mootools rather that jQuery, but they're all pretty much irritating as hell |
| 18:55 | < MyCatSchemes> | IE6 would have you write: document.getElementById('errorMessage').innerText = 'Goddammit!'; |
| 18:55 | < MyCatSchemes> | jQuery asks you to write, regardless of browser: jQuery('#errorMessage').text('You moron!'); |
| 18:56 | < MyCatSchemes> | (Sorry for pause, went and found some toffee halfway through expounding. ^^) |
