‘Screen Shot’

Why does everyone call this something different? Screen Capture, Screen Dump, Screen Flash, Screen Save, Print Screen, Frame Capture….

Is there a definitive REAL definition for this function of a personal computer?

Why does everyone call it something different? It’s like an accent of IT literate speech. Well my accent is ’screen shot’ hence the title… whats yours?

fluid looking ‘advanced’ code

When reading code I do love to see things done in more compact ways compared to over many lines, it just looks so fluid and sexy.This is the same in spoken languages too, when reading “Grande DeCafe Caramel Machiato” it gives the reader (psychologically) a different imprssion of the item compred to “Medium cofee with some caramel in it and no caffeeene”. Which would you rather choose? Be honest d:I have put the advanced in quotes within the header becasue its not really advanced at all! It does the same thing!

 This post was inspired by the following line of code just written at work:

DateTime validateDate = DateTime.Parse(((TextBox)Page.Controls[0].FindControl(“ContentPlaceHolder1″).Controls[0].FindControl(sourceControl.ControlToValidate)).Text;
