Hidden C- language code

W

W. eWatson

I'm writing some C-code in Win7, and placing it in a folder. It appears
to be hidden in the folder. How can I make something like HelloWorld.c
visible?

PS. Eventually, this code winds up in MinGW, which supports gcc, and
other compilers. MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows), formerly mingw32,
is a native software port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and GNU
Binutils...

Ugh! Forget it. I put it in another folder that I wasn't looking at.

Nice one! I don't think there's a programming language been developed
yet to handle that.

How about one to handle my problem?
I keep going upstairs to do something; but I get to the top of the
stairs and I've forgotten what it is, and I stand there trying to remember.
Or I'll be upstairs and something occurs to me, so I go downstairs to
google it. But lo! I sit down in front of the screen and I've forgotten
what.

Does anybody know of any available software to handle that?

Yes. Dementia tablets will do the trick in your case and the money
would be well spent.

Segrams has several different applications for that problem.

Yea, try Jack Daniels 1.00. It does it for me.

A jotter and ballpoint. Make a note of everything that occurs to you
that you want to remember for later.
The only problem is to remember to have the jotter and ballpoint handy.
If you've left it somewhere else, you're back to the same problem.

The problem's very intermittent; a kind of preview of older age coming
on. Most of the time I'm really on the ball; always having been the sort
of bloke who stands out as the brighter apple in the box.

I'll put it down to absent-mindedness due to being preoccupied with
other thoughts during a heatwave; a kind of professeur distrait. I have
a jotter on the living-room coffee-table which I've been using, and
fortunately I'm sharp enough to be able to decipher my shorthand; things
like "TT" and "MF next Tuesday".

Marvellous weather, eh? I'm not going to start complaining about that,
not when I've been dreaming of something like this for years.

Yes, me too. But tempus fugits seemingly faster as one gets older.

Now that's the sort of explanation that I'm in favour of. Unfortunately
it happens in winter, too.

True enough; I love this weather but SWMBO does not. Since she does the
heavy lifting around here (I'm rather badly disabled), I get a bit
concerned when she's conked out by mid-afternoon. Trouble is, the UK is
not geared up for extremes of temperature at either end.

I once holidayed on Rhodes in mid summer; 40c in the day, 30+ at night.
The colossus was a mighty statue of Helios, the sun god.
I not only survived the fortnight, but I actually got some enjoyment
from it. I walked up to the acropolis in Lindos, and lots of people
who'd done the same were all collapsed in the shade of the entrance
structures. Me, I went through and into the sun of the ruined temples;
about 50c.
After that everything that doesn't hit those thermal heights seems a
saving-grace in comparison.

I heard/read/whatever it once said that other countries have a climate:
a Mediterranean climate, a tropical climate, a polar climate, or
whatever: Britain doesn't have a climate, it has weather.

(There's some truth in it; we're at the confluence of various streams
and currents - the gulf stream, the jet stream, etc. - and it only takes
a small variation in the course or level of one of these for our weather
to vary a long way outside what you'd expect for our latitude. Regions
at the same latitude in, say, north America have much more consistent
weather, in fact have a climate.)

England has a climate; it has a good and famous climate.
England's green and pleasant land.
Yes, all this green grass; all the little lawns in front of suburban houses.
Green and pleasant; well watered from the sky.

We're envied throughout the world. Look at the Mediterranean countries
with their brown, wispy and withered grasses; all burnt by the sun. And
look at the 5-star hotels there with their little patch of grass in
front, which they maintain with expensive sprinklers running 24/7.

This is Blighty. This is the land that empire-builders used to dream of
returning to as they sweltered on cotton-plantations and sugar-farms.
Rich and fertile; mother of the industrial revolution, trend-setter for
the world.

God save the Queen! But why do Brits do today what Americans started
doing a decade ago? It is a well-known phenomenon.

I have done that since I was in college. But you put your finger on the
problem that makes it fail for me.

I remember to write things down and I forget to check the notebook...

But I am now *much* more technologically advanced. I use a notepad
program in my cell phone to write myself notes that I then forget to
read.

I use an app in my iPhone to record spoken notes, which I find
infinitely more convenient than typing. The app flags the number of
notes on the home screen, so they're not likely to be forgotten for
long. When I've done with a note (possibly transferring it to my written
master "to do" list) I delete it from the phone.

That might be just a *little bit* better than my scheme :)

I have separate text-based apps in my phone, tablet, and desktop
computer, and a small & cheap voice recorder in the car (which is a lot
easier & safer to operate while driving than my phone).
