Well, I've discovered that one of my tasks was a little bit bigger than anticipated, but no worries, it's a minor change still. *knocks on wood* While wondering how to go about this modification, I went around and did my usual rounds, which I really haven't been talking about much actually. Today seems like a good day however since MJO's been wondering what to do for the rest of his life (or at least for the rest of the near future - like me). Change is always good I say, although I've been wrong many times before..
FlyingS's also feeling a little down. His little programming problem isn't helping much either. (Been there, done that.) It's a relief to know that you're not the root of the problem, but infuriating not to know what the problem is! Cheer up buddy boy! It could be worse! *slaps FlyingS on back*
Umm, other stuff includes KGL's birthday weekend. I never would've thought that she'd drink so much so often for so long. She's like some Englishmen I know. (Of course, they can actually hold their liquor.) Finally, NVM's talking about pr0n again.
Oh hey, I've been having troubles checking out Laz's site. It's probably the Roger's fault. I was having connection problems yesterday as well. (Notice the huge gap in entry time.)

[QYV],
What's the TCD? You didn't link the TCD to any entry.

SOCKETS!!!
Do anybody know.. I am sending data using sockets and TCP/IP (actually I am using the winsock api) and I am trying to understand what the limits are. I understand that there is some sort of buffer size. So does that mean that if I send a huge ass file then the sender must wait for the receiver to receive at least as much data as: sizeof(hugeassfile)-sizeof(buffer) in order to complete the send? Does that mean that I can send just about anything I want?

I haven't played with sockets in a while, and I've never touched WinSock, but I kinda know what's going on with this stuff...
I think you're maybe going about this the wrong way. If you want to send a huge-ass *file*, you're probably better off finding a nice FTP library and using it, rather than writing something from scratch.
If you just want to send a bunch of data, then yeah, I'm pretty sure the API should handle all the mucky stuff like packet sizes and buffers for you. Just open your socket and start stuffing data in it.
To answer (one of) your questions, you can never rely on timing. You want to get your receiver program to send you back a little message to tell you that it got everything okay. This way, you can do error handling as well (in case the receiver runs out of memory or what have you, it can tell you).

Girl,
You've figured it out right? Can you enlighten me as to what the TCD means?
