This is a really dumb question, but still a question of importance.
I've seen Tripple used all over the place (even Jack Hoxley used it!). BUT...Tripple isn't a word. Whereas, Triple (only one P) is a word. Is this just a common misspelling (i did if for a while), or is it yet another spelling difference between british and american?
I'm confuded.   |

Hey I said I *was* developing an intermediate program, not that don't develop advanced ones... doesn't you think games are advanced programs? So this site is all about advanced software development  |

Well my first program... you know? I don't remember!!! I *think* I started with a VB book that uncommonly, in the first chapter it teaches you, not how to create a "hello world" program, but a loan calculator! I think I was just 9 or 10 in the occasion... Of course I didn't understand anything right 
Then some time *after* this I learned a little bit of BASIC... Then I really started to understand how it works (programming).
And now I sometimes get impressed with myself. The start of this year I was programming a fairly intermediate VB program (with interface) and got impressed with the time I got to solve the bugs. In fact, very few bugs appeared and I solved them in kind of 10 minutes the max.
(just the other day I found a small problem, hehe... didn't look at it tough as it's so small noone notices it ) |

D&D - Dungeons and Dragons.... The original RPG, and still the best....
And my first program in basic was on a Radio Shack trs 80 and it said "hello world"... now top that for old...
And don't worry Eric..... I have also created character generators for d&d, but in qbasic...
Don't get me wrong on this, but I feel alot of young people miss out on the true nature of programming, because they have started on a much higher level language... I remember when a subroutine looked like this..
10 INPUT"Your Name?";A$
20 GOSUB 100
30 END
100 Print"Your name is " + A$
110 RETURN
DaBooda out...
P.S. Thank you for the comment Byrkovian... |

We were creating character generators in BASIC on the APPLE ][ computers to use in D&D games. yes, I'm an uber nerd. |

My first program was in 5th grade, in GW BASIC I may add <shiver>. All it did was ask for your name, then say hello to your name. Pretty neat for a 10 year old... |

Sheesh! Y'all are so old! I'm not even out of high school (10th grade)!
I guess Spodi and I are the youngins around here. |

Yup:
Lift - Elevator
Candy - Sweets
Color - Colour
colonization - Colonisation (or otherway around)
Civilization - civilisation
Gas - Fuel
well, some like those :). Don't forget that the words are said completely different too. Sometimes if I say "router" as "rauhter" I get stared at.. "huh?" and if I say "roehter" (english), too. A lot of people here in Netherlands speak American english - That's on tv -, and so do I.. |

I assume "there" is the UK ... and by "stationed" you mean military service?
