Comcast never fixed their problem. Servage couldn’t do anything about the problem. I’m left borrowing a neighbor’s Verizon connection. I’ll explain it all in good time.

Many things are going on. Projects, finals, possible love interests, travel, frustrations, work, life in general. We’ll resume a regular schedule once I find a reliable ISP or hosting company.

.NET languages seem to interpret integers used in array allocations in a strange and unusual fashion, in that you somehow desire an array of N+1 elements, indexed as (0, 1, 2, …, N) when most languages (rightly) interpret your code as you desire an array of N elements indexed as (0, 1, 2, N-1). This provides limitless opportunities for mania and depression in your average programmer, commonly categorized as “Off by one errors.” No further proof is necessary to demonstrate that VB sucks and I want nothing to do with it whatsoever.
