I recently stumbled upon an issue that, provided the correct circumstances could prove to be slightly troubling. Recently, I had to deal with multiple versions of a test project I'd been working on. I had to store a few things to be loaded at run-time, and saved on close. Doing this, I saved a few things to the project settings. However, upon changing the versions (installing an update) the settings were lost, as a new file was generated for the latest version. Perplexed, I turned to the internet. After a shockingly large amount of searching, I finally happened upon some code that helped.

Okay, bad attempt at a literary allusion.

But it's a question that we've been talking about around here, and to a lesser extent with some of the folks we know: where are the scientific programmers?

... If you're looking for a wiring diagram for the car you're rebuilding, the word is "schematic", not "scimatic".

"Animal Shelter" is not spelled "animl shelter."

If you all can get on that, my Google Alerts will become far more accurate.

That is all.

Hello everyone out there cruising the intertubes. I'm the latest addition to Scimatic software, Tom Leeson. Glad to be posting here on the Scimatic blog for the first time. As Jim mentioned several months ago, I'm looking forward to discussing, among other things, the zombie apocalypse (remember, preparation is everything!), Judas Priest vs Iron Maiden (there's more argument there than meets the eye, despite the obvious difference in record sales), and various programming topics.

As Mini reported, Microsoft has finished shipping Microsoft Layoff 2009, to middling response. Microsoft laid off roughly 5% of their workforce in an effort to appease Wall Street and improve their stock price.
