Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
I finally picked the winners for April’s copies of
either the CodeGuru.com Visual C++ Goodies book OR Kate Gregory’s Visual C++
.NET 2003 Kicks Start. For April the lucky people are:
– Sergey Polyakov
– Jac Goudsmit
Both of these guys submitted aritcles that were
published to the CodeGuru site. They have 60 days to contact us in order to
get their book! If you submit an article, then you too have a chance to get selected for a book! For more, see:
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,w2v,1,iabr,4p63,jorm,i5r0
It is worth mentioning again that we’ve made a lot of
changes to the CodeGuru site over the past few months. One that many people have
not noticed is that you can now submit an article through the site. You can even
keep use the site to enter and hold an article until you are ready to
submit it. To add an article click the Submit An Article button on the main
page’s navigation area. You will be asked to verify your log in. You you are
then given the first page of two that you can use for entering an
article.
You can even enter part of an article and come back
later to finish. When you are done with your article and ready for it to
be reviewed and published on the site, then you can click the Submit for Posting
button on the form. This will bring the article to the attention of the CodeGuru
editors. Until you click submit the article, the editors will not be aware of it.
If you want to come back and edit your article after
first entering it, you can get to it from your profile page. After logging into
the front page of CodeGuru, select the MY PROFILE link. This link is in the same
box you signed into. This link will take you to your profile page. If you have
submitted or started entering an article, then your profile page will include a
“MY ARTICLES” button on the upper right. This button will present you with a list of your articles that you can work from.
If you want to continue to email articles, you can.
The submit@codeguru.com address will continue to work.
As an additional reminder, if you were an author of an
article before the new system was rolled out, you need to tell us your current
CodeGuru ID and what articles you wrote. We will be able to link your older
articles to your ID so that they are listed on your MY ARTICLES page. Send such requests to submit@CodeGuru.com.
… Quiz Question!
Last week’s quiz question was presented by Gabriel
Fleseriu. You can find the start of a discussion on it online at:
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,w2v,1,fbkz,1dgu,jorm,i5r0
I’ll post Gabriel’s answer next week. As a hint, it was legal!
Next week we will post a new question.
… At the Box Office …
Okay, I dropped this part of my editorial because a
couple of people complained that it was not related to the newsletter. Some habits die hard!
As such, I’ll mention that Van Helsing tore up the box
office this past week-end with $51.7 million while The Olsen twins puttered a
bit with just under $6 million. Both new movies, however, have a long way to go
to break even. Van Helsing cost $160 million versus a New York Minute’s $30 million. That is without marketing costs!
Until next week!
Brad!
