05:48:29 <lament> the first three-part invention
05:48:57 <lament> the subject starts on G, the answer starts on C
06:05:22 <lament> of course it's a sinfonia not an invention
06:05:43 <lament> but everybody calls it an invention anyway, so there!

06:31:38 <andreou> who could tell that translating basic programs into c code would be such an irritating feat...
06:32:33 <lament> i don't believe you :)
06:32:38 <andreou> because i guarantee you, it is a *very* irritating thing...
06:32:52 <lament> i still don't believe you!
06:33:05 <lament> seems trivial to me. What's hard?
06:33:40 <andreou> the translation of a basic program into c code
06:33:58 <lament> no, what exactly is irritating about it?
06:34:02 <andreou> heh, i'm such a good eliza bot
06:35:11 <andreou> the most irritating thing is that in basic one can use a new variable right in the middle of nowhere, so i have new variables coming up all the time
06:35:50 <andreou> so, i brought out a piece of paper and started writing them down
06:36:02 <andreou> and then there are the GOTOs... now I understand why they are 'dreaded'.
06:36:19 <lament> you mean you're converting the code by hand, not automatically?
06:36:51 <andreou> yes, i--why, there's automatic conversion?
06:37:06 <lament> i thought you were writing a basic->c compiler.
06:37:20 <andreou> no, i have a .bas and i'm turning it into a .c
06:37:32 <andreou> no time for flex/yacc fun :)
06:38:17 <andreou> and the program is some sort of an exponential regression or something, and i don't know exp. regression :)
06:38:28 <andreou> so i have to read up on statistics too, to make it a bit more compact
06:38:54 <andreou> and it's about thermal currents, so, more exploring of new domains awaits me
