  1. Ha! I can't argue with that Right - and, in my opinion, one hurdle that's relatively easy to overcome, yet trips up so many people, is nomenclature. Classes, objects, encapsulation, inhereitance, methods, properties, singletons, etc <- these words might be forgien to someone starting to work with OO, but they're usually just names of something they already know (and have probably even used!), but it's just takes some time to get your mind around them.
  2. Congratulations to the incoming freshman class of LabVIEW Champions! Once a year, new members are inducted into the Champions programme, and this year's 9 new members represent a high calibre group of individuals from all over the world. I'm also proud that many of the Champions (if not all?) are leading members of the LAVA, and have shaped, and are shaped, by our community. Congratulations!
  3. Oh yeah - it's soooo pretty to watch
  4. Sorry, I can see how you read that, but I wasn't trying to say that OO is anti-dataflow, just that anything non-OO is, well, non-OO
  5. At least you already learned it, in a more classical sense. It's usually quite a task to "get" OO when you've only been working with (relatively) strict dataflow most of your life. I remember the simultaneous look of wonderment, confusion and disgust on my students' faces when I used to teach the Endevo GOOP course.
  6. Awesome OpenG Addition: #labview Preferences Dialog API - download & discuss: http://t.co/7CX1ePhl

  7. I guess it depends on what you want to do. We use custom xsl stylesheets a lot with ATML reports, and occasionally have to nip into the data to make mods (which, as suggested by others, we do with .Net - we've built up a reuse library of such functions that wrap the .Net stuff, and is compatible with the LabVIEW vi.lib functions).
  8. Fun for the day: Text programming is stoopid - Wat?! http://t.co/Sto49Vdm

    Wat.

    Text programming is stoopid.
  10. Maybe I don't understand your question, but, if your project needs to use a PCI slot in your application, buy a PC with at least 1 PCI slot. If your project needs to use a serial port, buy a PC with at least 1 serial port. etc...
  11. Working with some big blocks of data in TDMS files: http://t.co/Q72pA8rj

  12. Cool Tool: Create Child Class Project Tool - download & discuss: http://t.co/HijlNr4x

  13. Note: although I'm an admin here at LAVA, my posts do not necessarily represent LAVA. I think the wikipedia blackout page puts it best: IMO, replace "wikipedia" with "LAVA", "wikipedians" with "LAVAites" and "encyclopedia" with "independant LabVIEW community", and that pretty much sums it up. I can't think how it would be possible for LAVA to continue to exist without being open to litigation for the site, it's admins, moderators, and members.
  14. LAVA members on online copyright, PIPA, SOPA, and more: http://t.co/NyBHHETb

  15. I think the idea still has merit, and adding the Boolean suggested would keep everyone happy - I think you should still push for this if you think it's valuable.
  16. I don't think this is a good idea - there are only a few cases where I would expect a subVI or primative to ignore an error in: closing references comes to mind. I think that changing the behaviour of common reuse components in this way is untintuative. If we really want to do this, I'd suggest that the OpenG VI include an "Ignore incomming errors" Boolean input (kind of like how you can ignore node errors on property and invoke nodes).
  17. Nah - I don't know the guy who suggested that, but he looks like a real bogan.
  18. Baahahaha! I'm thinking less superhero, more Halloween cowboy costume. http://qkme.me/35oxy4
  19. A LAVA member's quest to become a popular meme: http://t.co/0J3Yjo7r Add your own caption!

  20. I'm not generally a big fan of memes, but this one drew my attention recently: it's a picture of our very own Justin Goeres as a mentor in the 2011 FIRST Championships. Go ahead and add your own caption(s) - I look forward to seeing what LAVA members come up with.
  21. IMHO that's the best kind of excitement - congrats on the new tack.
  22. Norm's tool looks pretty good, but I think it only works at edit time.
  23. Neat #labview tool: "Pop Property" gets you to accessor property nodes in your LVOOP class: http://t.co/EqwEqH8d
