Inheritance

In an Object Oriented Programming environment, inheritance is one of the key concepts which allows us to inherit properties and methods of other objects.

In Procedural Programming, inheritance is when a bunch of guys develop a massive system over several months, test it a little bit, put it live over the weekend and then ALL fek off on holiday leaving me holding the baby.

Bastards!

Who’s the Daddy?

What a great present during the long lead up to my annual lie in on Father’s Day – Charlie (aged 17 months ish) can say, “Daddy”.

Of course, being a girl, her first actual word was, “shoes”.

The joy of specs

It’s official, I am now a bone fide, card carrying, four eyed specoid git. But only for reading and peering at the ‘pooter screen, I can still see a gnats knackers at 4,000 paces.

Loitering within tent

Spent last weekend on a Dads and Lads (and Lasses) camping trip. I’m pretty well endowed, in a camping equipment sense, but a couple of pitches away was a Tentipi.  I want one so bad it hurts – in fact, I need one and will not rest until I have one.

I just need to get approval from my squaw!

SQL – Solopsist Query Language

SELECT myName
    FROM myTable
	FETCH first 100 rose only; 

They do indeed

Great tits cope well with warming.

Comments on writing Python on a MacBook

# A hash denotes a single line comment in Python.
# The hash key is very hard to find on a MacBook.
# Because there isn't one.
# Try Alt + 3

Spam * Spam = Spam spam spam spam

So, I’ve been under some pressure from certain people to start learning Python. Sam is learning his multiplication tables at school so what better way to start than by killing two parrots with two sharp flat ones and a bag of gravel (after HelloWorld.py that is)…

# TimesTable
# For Sam - Prompts for a name and a number.
# Prints out x times table

# A bit Noddy but you gotta start somewhere...

name = raw_input( "Hello, what's your name : " )
print "Hi", name,
number = raw_input( ", type a number : " )

print " "
print "The times table for ", number, "is : "
print " "

for i in range(1, 13):
    print i, "x", number, "=", i * int(number)

This blogging lark is exhausting

So I’m off to the Lake District on holiday – might blog whilst I’m away, might just eat Kendal Mint Cake and wonder lonely as a cloud that floats on high o’er vales and hills.

See ya next week.
