Highly disappointed to see people take my work especially pictures and use them for their own blog, without any payback.

Make up a to do list of your days activities. If that is easy for you then, you might be a programmer.
Path to programming.
- Know a subject that gives you reason to program
- Learn logic
- Learn the syntax of a possible language that looks interesting
- Apply practical examples till you feel comfortable.
- Learn to debug.
- Work as a maintenance programmer.
- Develop a plan for the program you want to write
and describe in detail what is to be done (see below),
- Code in manageble segments via modules.
- Test and redo the program as needed.
Pseudo coding makes life easier.
Dump web page as ascii (text) to disk file.
Read disk file one line at a time in, but ignore all lines till you get what is needed.
Now continue reading one line at a time, but ignore certain lines
With the line you read in output what is needed, while editing out unwanted characters.
Stop output when you get to a point nothing else is needed.
Finnish reading file one line at a time.
End.

Giving out the super secret code for doing the Kitt light show on the X86. Do not have a guitar anymore, but that was me playing the guitar.

Think this is the secret code in freebasic for lighting the leds.
dim tim as double
tim = TIMER
duration = .3
out 888, 0
for y = 1 to 20
‘rem up
for x = 0 to 6
out 888, 2^x
r= inp(888)
out 888, (2^(x+1) +r)
tim = TIMER
DO
LOOP UNTIL (TIMER – tim + 86400) – (INT((TIMER – tim + 86400) / 86400) * 86400) > duration
out 888, 0
next x
‘rem down
for b = 1 to 7
z = 7 – b
out 888, 2^z
r= inp(888)
out 888, (2^(z+1) +r)
tim = TIMER
DO
LOOP UNTIL (TIMER – tim + 86400) – (INT((TIMER – tim + 86400) / 86400) * 86400) > duration
out 888, 0
next b
next y
‘rem end of sequence
out 888,0
rnd.bas
randomize 88888888
dim duration as double
dim tim as double
tim = TIMER
duration = .1
out 888, 0
for y = 1 to 100
out 888, 2^(abs((rnd(1)*8)))
tim = Timer
DO
LOOP UNTIL (TIMER – tim + 86400) – (INT((TIMER – tim + 86400) / 86400) * 86400) > duration
out 888, 0
next y

Decided to take my score scraping script and apply it to other media. Per se maybe we just want the headlines of CNN.com. Used essentially the same set of instructions on a local news site with results. You will want to use the same rough logic or pseudocode:
Dump web page as ascii (text) to disk file.
Read disk file one line at a time in, but ignore all lines till you get what is needed.
Now continue reading one line at a time, but ignore certain lines
With the line you read in output what is needed, while editing out unwanted characters.
Stop output when you get to a point nothing else is needed.
Finnish reading file one line at a time.
End.
You might get results like this ignoring equals signs.
