Maybe next year. Of course I've been saying that for 10+ years now...

Me, too. Funny how some of us always seem to have work to do.

... how about using 'Spoolie' ...

Uh ... um ... er ... I don't know about using Spoolie. He reminds me too much of "Clippy" (or whatever his name was) in Windows help. A LAVA mascot would be cool, but I think we need something a little less cute. I get enough cute overload from my cats as it is.

Well just to stay of topic, a lot of that was filmed last year down in Cornwall and Devon, a friend of mine who is a school teacher took one months unpaid time of to be an extra in the film.

She said it was a very interesting but bizarre experience.

Dude! You have a friend who was an extra in a Burton film?!

Tim Burton is brilliant. One of my all-time favorites.

I remember watching Mars Attacks! with my 10 and 12 year old (at the time) nephews. Talk about a party.

PaulG now returns this hijacked thread to it's proper subject.

Nope, my coercion dots are red.

My apologies. I should never have stopped here. This is getting so confusing I was the one confusing coercion with allocation.

"Never mind"

I didn't realize that it would be able to reuse the same space for the new array, especially given the fact that one is a decimation of the other (i.e. the output elements are not contiguous in input array).

I'm scratching my head as well. Are you possibly confusing array copies with coercion?

I think LAVA 2.0 requires one more click on "today's active topics" on the right side menu.

I thought it was lame. Lost me after 30 seconds. It might have been the staccato British accent or the reference to video games.

Since LAVA 2.0 I have been going with a different avatar but I want my previous (cat ("anything") into a variant) avatar back. Any chance you can simply replace it here on sight, O great and powerful admin moderator, or do I have to track it down in my archives and submit it again myself?

Would Guido come out and break my... code?

I'd like to point out that post count is just that, post count and nothing more. It indicates that you post a lot and you've been active. Nothing more. So you're asking to have a feature that will indicate to people that you are not posting much and that you're not active on the forums. Probably not going to happen.

(midi theme from The Godfather)

"You're right, Michael. Probably not going to happen. She's family. Everyone in the family takes their post count like everyone else. But Michael ... Michael ... talk to Cat before you talk to Guido. Make her an offer ..."

(midi fades ...)

If you let it use scripting VIs then it could become self-replicating!

... start with an existing VI ...

I liked your first idea better. That's the rub when writing software that attempts to imitate "evolution". A lot of evolution software programs have been coded but invariably the biases of the programmers find their way into the code. You just did it yourself. Which existing VI? The VI that starts off with just a while loop, or an existing VI that starts out functioning like an amoeba?

I don't call that a very good signal to noise ratio.

The lower SNR here is one of the many things I like about LAVA. I wouldn't worry about it. If you get out of line Mike A. will send Guido to "talk" to you.

What's amazing is the high ratings the book receives on Amazon. I had to laugh when I read this reader review...

"Serve ice to say"

LOL! All right, guyze, stop it already! This was a serious question!!

Ahem... The problem with using "-aristos" is that AQ has posted some great info about queues, and I don't want to filter that out.

Gripe gripe gripe. Complain complain complain. Sheesh.

As far as I know that is normal behavior. Try this workaround.

As a great philanderer once said, "I feel your pain." As much as I'd like to go I can't afford 40 hrs of lost wages plus the cost of attending the event itself. Such is life as a contractor. But I can afford root beer once in a while. I'll raise a frosty glass of A&W to you while scouring the web for NI Week information.

I have felt your pain. Contract work SUCKS. But it was better than starvation.

LAVA 1.0 had little flag icons (under the user avatar) to indicate a members chosen country and sometimes their state. Do you all want this back in LAVA 2.0?

Thanks for asking. You have been working very hard on LAVA and I for one appreciate it. But if it's no big deal, YES, the flags were cool. I like knowing where other members are from. Gives LAVA that "international" atmosphere.

Congrats on the CLD and I want to underscore the book idea. This is something that NI should consider to be a priority IMO. After all the biggest criticism of LV is that it's a "toy" and that's largely because it isn't seen as a real support of OO. The status of LVOOP is now directly challenging that belief and writing the book on it would be a good opportunity for NI to communicate clearly just how capable LV really is.

It would also give me a really nice running start at getting on board with it....

Seriously you code develop the code (as you've done) and someone on NI's staff to ghost the text and/or you could team up with someone (like Jim Kring) and do "LVOOP for Everyone".

I think there is a world of knowledge and possiblities in OO in LV. Just look at all the different implementations (by reference, by value, LVOOP, GOOP, Endevo, etc., etc. ). The whole topic is overwhelming and a little intimidating. Some of us are still a little too nervous to jump right in simply due to the number of choices. I think it would be good if NI took the lead (hint hint) and really worked on some training material in OO programming and the native LV OO implementation. If NI leaves it up to us we will only offer only more choices and implementations. This will lead to a handful of gurus and the rest of us scratching our heads or paying someone else to do what we should be able to do on our own if we only had just a little more info ...

I picked up a serial port to USB converter at an Office Max or similar store about a year ago.

Is it possible to view a VI that was created on previous versions of LV(e.g. LV3.1) with L.V7.1? I have VI s I wish to see that were created on older versions than L.V7.1

They do a lot of this sort of thing over here.

First, LAVA comes back on line. Then dannyt gets his 100th post. Life is good.

Good to see LAVA up and running again. I like the new look. I especially like the Picasa image viewer. Sweet. Thanks for your hard work.

I need to build a tab control with many pages (I won't say how many because someone will surely scold me). I'm too lazy to go through and keep doing "Add page after". Is there another way to do this? I've searched through all the invoke and property nodes. There was an entry at NI for doing this with Labwindows, but that doesn't help.

George

Scripting gives you Invoke Node > Add Page. But if you want to create an executable I don't know what you can do except what I've done in the past and that is to create as many tab pages as you think you will ever need and make them visible/invisible using the Pages array and page visible properties. It sounds kind of clunky but that's all I can offer.

The Simpsons did a Milgram experiment during a family therapy session years ago. Even little Maggie got her shocks in. (suck suck suck ... BZZZZ Bart jumps out his chair) :laugh:
