*cough* Yes, dear readers, I promised that there would be no more Operation: Benji! posts, that I was over and done with writing about my failure programming. But! I just had to write one last one, because I just figured out how to write that SETI program. (The one that calculates the Drake Equation, not the… Continue reading Operation: Benji! The Postscript

Operation: Benji! The Conclusion
This, dear readers, is the final installment of the epic Operation: Benji! series.

After a long break from programming, I am back and ready to immerse myself in the world of Java, as per Operation: Benji! However, the world of Java does not seem to be eager to have me immerse myself in it. Today when I opened Eclipse and started up my program, I could almost feel… Continue reading Operation: Benji! Day Three

So it looks like my SETI dreams aren’t coming true any longer. 🙁 On a brighter note, I… Continue reading Operation: Benji! Day Two

I already know a tiny bit of Python, by which I mean that I know how to hold increasingly awkward pre-programmed conversations with my computer, who seems to… Continue reading Operation: Benji!
