As the title says im at home, should be in college really but I actually want to get some work done, been focusing on doing my computing coursework (Second Year) and Ive managed to get a registered copy of FRAPS so I can finally start my English Coursework, which is due in on the 7th (we got a extension).
Computing coursework update - Ive finally finished inputting 22 pages of Dance and Electronic-Trance and Techno wow that really did suck imagine if i had to do this as a actual programme. 3316 lines so far and ive got to put in my custom entries (like Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten etc who appear in the Dance and Electronic-Bestsellers section) stupid really. I estimate about 3500 lines of code (it still techniqually is code LOL) for the this. I decided to instead of use databases and search (for the searching section of the programme anyway) to use a text file (renames to .ini) and write code which will search this instead.

Example of how something is written in DancenElectronic-TrancenTechno.ini (filename)

aGames
bBBE
dTales Of History
dNew Romantic
dSymphonic Paradise
dBar
dAudience And The Bird
dLe Grande Theme
dSeven Days And One Week
dUniversal Flash
dFlash
dFirst Level
dCosmos
dDesire
dAquatic Nebular
dFreetime
dLe Noveau Monde
dRock In The Sky
dSecond Level
dExit

a=Album name
b=Artist
c=CD number (or double albums/complations)
d=song name

On the form where the user searchs for his/her music they type what they want to search for then select from a combo box (Artist, Album/Complalation, Song)and then when they hit search, classic IF statement saying if combobox1 = Artist then search DancenElectronic-TrancenTechno.ini by a

You get the picture anyway. Since Im "only" using about 1/7 of the dance music (listed on amazon.co.uk) my search algorithm only has to search through the one .ini file, but in reality if i were to expand this then it would say 10 sections for each genre so maybe upto 100 text (.ini) files so I would try and get the user to choose genre as well to cut down the amount of searching, but I dont have to LOL. After this i have got to try and figure out a payment process and also a update process, where by on the main form the user clicks buy music, then the programme checks a site/server? to see if they are any updates for DancenElectronic-TrancenTechno.ini ie containing new music and if so download and replace the old one, seems simple enough doesnt it ? If i manage to do that then thats 1/3 of the programme done (but the project finished in reality cause the other 2 are extra's), ability to play music and transfer music. Im liking VB2005 kinda cool, much better than VB6 and despite me having to re-learn some stuff and watch videos Im liking it.

Just made this and the last post with latest Just Journal Clients pretty good, I usually just use the site to write but that has way too many options and "stuff" now its just over the top (and doesnt work), think I'll stick with this now.
