Post #145,154 by boxley 3/9/04 10:18:22 PM Reply	well actually I wish the developers around here knew unix would make my job a lot easier example. today I needed a favor from a developer that is writing the heart of an important app. Do ya have time? Sure just having problems with an EJB container (well having read the subject lines of a couple of Ben's posts in programming) I wheedle, help me out and Ill take a look she helps me out I look, the code looks ok, so lets run it and look at the error. She goes I dont understand? well the error sez it cant find yer shit so declare explicitely where it is C:foo/bar/eeh/I/eeI/oh run it again. runs fine, she goes "thank you. Ive been on this all day and you fixed it!!" told her she was just starting because a write once run everywhere would crap out on hard coded paths AND THAT IS A HUGE PART OF MY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CRAPAUD!!!! yes virginia, knowing unix IS important thanx, bill when I was young I envisioned myself as the embodiment of Trinity, Now I realize I have turned into the Bambino questions, help?
