• National Day Of... Posts

    Hi All,

    As you have probably seen, there was another hiccup with the National Day
    Of... program. :(

    This morning, the computer had a slight issue. When the program ran, it got stuck in a loop that was printing blank lines to the output file. I found
    out, it doesn't take long to fill an 750Gb partition with a program like that.

    I had disabled the program until I could correct it, but I missed the files
    it created from two days ago...

    It should be working fine now. I was able to put a band-aid type of fix in place. The program is still disabled, until I know for sure it won't cause
    any more issues...

    Oh no! That's impressive. I remember trying to write a similar "program"
    at school to try and get the same effect. (I wonder how quick I can fill
    up the hard drive and cause things to stop working) it didn't work.

    I'm not sure how long it would have taken back then, but now, I could fill
    the partition in roughly 3 - 4 minutes... :/

    I could send you the code... ;)
