Perl isn't a language I'vehad much to do with as it's a bit complicated - plus I've never really had to use it for anything other than mail scripts.
The following video shows why software projects take so long.
Why this guy thought he could use voice recognition software to write code I don't know. A monkey could have done better!
The last time I tried to do anything with software like that was in a drunken stupor; My university friends and I were trying to get it to type a rude word without saying one - hilarious.
Anyway, behold the reason why all software/web development projects over-run - we're all too lazy to type (note this does contain a bit of swearing - understandably), the guy spends 10 minutes to get something written we could do in about seconds:
Hat tip to Andy C for linking to it

I just popped over to check my hotmail email account (something I don't do nearly often enough) and this is what greeted me after I logged in using Firefox:
Hmm...
So I had a go using Internet Explorer (6) and this is what I got:

Microsoft - don't alienate your users. As a web developer everything I build has to work in every browser.
Surely it's common sense (and politeness) that you do the same?

The website "I Love Jack Daniels" (Great Name!) has some excellent "Cheat Sheets" for a variety of coding languages. Very useful indeed and I shall be printing them forthwith!

I've just put up my Code Bank which I'll be adding to regularly if anyone is interested. It's not quite finished yet (like there's no login functionality yet which is very secure....not) but enjoy anyway!

It's taken me ages to find out how to do this (what turns out to be a) relatively simple operation.
Here's the problem. Table 1 has a user_id which is auto incremented by MYSQL. Table 2 has an auto incremented login_id but also requires the user_id. Here's how we get one ID from one table to the other:
objRS.source = "Select LAST_INSERT_ID() from Table1"
objRS.open
LastID = objRS("LAST_INSERT_ID()")
objRS.Close
Simple! We can then refer to the LastID in Table 2

I've been writing an application for work that requires me to display one weeks worth of data, starting on a Monday and ending on a Sunday. Below is the code that will find the first Monday and subsequent days dates.
This code would be useful for a calendar system, time-tracking application, project management etc.
<%
'** Get Today's Date
CurrentDate=FormatDateTime(Now,2)
'** Get Which day of the week it is (number)
FirstDayOfTheWeek=Weekday(CurrentDate, 2)
'** Find how many days until Sunday are left
LastDayOfTheWeek=7-FirstDayOfTheWeek
'** Beginning of the week (Monday) Date
FindMonday=DateAdd("d",-FirstDayOfTheWeek, CurrentDate)+1
'** End of the Week (Sunday) Date
FindSunday=DateAdd("d", LastDayOfTheWeek, CurrentDate)
'** Work out the dates for various days
Monday=FindMonday
Tuesday=DateAdd("d", FindMonday, 1)
Wednesday=DateAdd("d", FindMonday, 2)
Thursday=DateAdd("d", FindMonday, 3)
Friday=DateAdd("d", FindMonday, 4)
Saturday=DateAdd("d", FindMonday, 5)
....

Although I have to say 'though mine works it doesn't validate properly... hmmm
