User talk:NevilleDNZ

Welcome

Welcome, and thanks for contributing to Rosetta Code! I created and run the site. Algol, huh? I've heard of it, but haven't seen it myself. (What's it used for these days?)

I see you've already figured out the structure of the site. That's great! I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. Don't worry about the frequency of your contributions. Most of us do stuff on the site because we enjoy it, so don't rush yourself. :-)

Do you mean OSDC2007? Rosetta Code didn't exist in 2006. Anyway, glad to hear that people talk about the site. --Short Circuit 09:23, 30 November 2007 (MST)

Yes, OSDC2007. Glad to be here... I have been looking for something like this for some time.

BTW: Can you give me a sorted ranking of the most looked at pages in Category:Programming Tasks, and Category:Solutions by Programming Task pages, and I will start with these first.

This is the best I've got. --Short Circuit 19:11, 30 November 2007 (MST)

That is perfect... NevilleDNZ 19:15, 30 November 2007 (MST)

Code ideas

None

Hi Neville, In your None examples it may be best to cut short the additional discussion of Pythons boolean false values as the section is over-long and not about False/True. You could do one example of testing for None and explaining the difference between if x is (not) None: and if x: when x has value None as it is a useful distinction in Python when testing for None; but omitting the false_list example would usefully shorten the entry. --Paddy3118 06:51, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Algol language file

Would you be interested in providing a GeSHi language file for ALGOL68, for inclusion into RC's and, upstream, GeSHi? Here's an example of one that MBishop created yesterday. --Short Circuit 16:20, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

A good idea. I'll take a look at it. NevilleDNZ 20:29, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
