• How to stop Excel Treating US dates as UK dates?

  - by deworde

  I'm in the UK, I've got a problem where I've got a list of dates supplied in US format. Excel seems to treat the ones that are valid in both formats as UK dates, (e.g. 03/01/2012 becomes 3rd of January rather that 1st March), and treat the ones that aren't valid UK dates (e.g. 03/13/2012) as basic text. I assume this choice is something to do with my regional settings. What I want is the system to recognise that this column of text is supplied in US date format, and convert it into the underlying date representation for calculations. How do I do this?

• Synergy config being shared across computers

  - by deworde

  For some reason, I'm unable to change where my synergy 1.3.1 profile data is being stored, with the result that when I start up, both computers end up reading it from the same shared file. Effectively this means that I'm ending up with both computers acting as clients or servers and both with the same name, until I change their profiles manually. Any advice? Thanks.

• Assigning a vector of one type to a vector of another type

  - by deworde

  Hi, I have an "Event" class. Due to the way dates are handled, we need to wrap this class in a "UIEvent" class, which holds the Event, and the date of the Event in another format. What is the best way of allowing conversion from Event to UIEvent and back? I thought overloading the assignment or copy constructor of UIEvent to accept Events (and vice versa)might be best.

• What Do You Need To Write Your Own Blog Engine?

  - by deworde

  I've been messing around with basic websites for a few years, using companies like www.Fasthosts.co.uk to do my web hosting. But I'd like to expand my skills from C++ and Java app programming into Web-based programming, and I think the best way to do that is with a project. I've chosen to go with a blog engine because it's a relative comprehensive yet non-complex project. I'm aware that you can just go to Blogger and bam! One blog. I've done that, so that I can at least have some content, and work out what I want to do with this blog. At the moment, I'm thinking I'll use it to chart my progress creating the blogging engine. But I have some questions. Do you need to be running your own server? Or is it more sensible in the short-term to use a hosting company? What types of language are worth considering? What's important to focus on from a design perspective? What unexpected problems might I encounter?

• How do I refactor code into a subroutine but allow for early exit?

  - by deworde

  There's a really obvious refactoring opportunity in this (working) code. bool Translations::compatibleNICodes(const Rule& rule, const std::vector<std::string>& nicodes) { bool included = false; // Loop through the ni codes. for(std::vector<std::string> iter = nicodes.begin(); iter != nicodes.end(); ++iter) { // Match against the ni codes of the rule if(rule.get_ni1() == *iter) { // If there's a match, check if the rule is include or exclude const std::string flag = rule.get_op1(); // If include, code is included unless a later rule excludes it if(flag == "INCLUDE"){ included = true; } // If exclude, code is specifically excluded else if(flag == "EXCLUDE"){ return false; } } if(rule.get_ni2() == *iter) { const std::string flag = rule.get_op2(); if(flag == "INCLUDE"){ included = true; } else if(flag == "EXCLUDE"){ return false; } } if(rule.get_ni3() == *iter) { const std::string flag = rule.get_op3(); if(flag == "INCLUDE"){ included = true; } else if(flag == "EXCLUDE"){ return false; } } if(rule.get_ni4() == *iter) { const std::string flag = rule.get_op4(); if(flag == "INCLUDE"){ included = true; } else if(flag == "EXCLUDE"){ return false; } } if(rule.get_ni5() == *iter) { const std::string flag = rule.get_op5(); if(flag == "INCLUDE"){ included = true; } else if(flag == "EXCLUDE"){ return false; } } } return included; } The problem is that I can't get around the problem that I want to exit early if it's an exclude statement. Note that I can't change the structure of the Rule class. Any advice?
