• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi all - what projects are you working on?

No one ever seems to post here, so I thought I would start a thread just to see who is around?

So what projects are you working on?

I am working on a private API for a business I work for. It is a shipping API used to request labels to put on parcels that we ship. It seemed to work ok until we put it under high stress, now there are all sorts of race conditions that I was unaware could occur.

I have been working on a programme for automatically trading foreign exchange.
It is a tough nut to crack but I am spurred on by the example of Edison - 1500 light bulbs before one worked.
Years back I walked into a prayer group and a lady stopped me at the door. We had never met. She held her bible open. she said this verse is for you "They shall have witty inventions. You are an inventor and the body of Christ needs you". Well I am now in retirement and working in with the local university on developing several projects - sometimes the wait is decades before we see the outworking of His purpose.

Yeah, God often speaks positively into our lives, but the timing is often, "down the track". Best of luck with the inventing!!!

We had very specific requirements, and we could find no software that enabled us to ship high volumes in Australia, so we developed. It is working well enough to get stock out the door. But it may need improvements as we go.

Cool, if it works that's great.
I'm not sales personally, I just work on the Engines for all the carriers.
I think we hit about 250 Shipments per second (depending on the service)
