GreenDamsel: I'm waiting for myself to finish this fuckin chapter of my fuckin thesis so I can finally start writing my D&D campaign again.
So I'm guessing your first thesis topic submission entitled "My Wednesday Night D&D Campaign - How To Solve Two Problems at Once" was rejected? ;)

John the Orange can't keep the rank and file troops from revolting over the most off topic and suicidal of reasons, forcing him to table a bill he wanted to keep the GOP from passing a bill with federal protections for official use of the traitorjack on federal land.

At first I thought you were writing Dutch. Then I understood.

Good evening.
How are you?

Thanks so much! Always nice to know my study is not serious.
My ability to make new threads is lost once again. So, I'll ask here. Thanks for any help you can provide!



Hey guys,

I know there's a few folks here who program like wizards. I'm looking to see if something is possible and if it is, if someone could direct me to some resources.

Here's my situation:

We have a new computer database program at work that does not fill out information as conveniently as it should. Every 15 minutes, we have to punch in the date twice, who we are and what we're doing. My hands hurt from it at this point. It's ridiculous. Our old program filled all that in for us.

So, what I would like to do is to be able to have an app that, upon a button push or, even better, upon a certain field in the database program being empty, that it autofills all of that information.

The database program is a java program that can only be accessed on IE10.

So, is my idea possible? And if so, can you direct me to some resources where I could learn how to do it?

Thanks!

I do hope you realize the self-irony as we have topics in STEM fields such as "How to cut a cake fairly for 3 people.", which was an interesting read, tbh.

Can't you just write a ticket for IT-support to fix it?

There are possible solutions to your problem, but as long as you don't know how to code any resource I could direct you to is quite useless.

I've got 20+ years of experience in writing code for work and school (VB, C++, C#, C, 6.0s and .NETs, as well as hobby stuff (RPG Maker, DarkBASIC Pro)), just not web-based stuff. I can pick it up fairly quickly.

Unfortunately, the vendor is unwilling to do anything. In fact, they underhandedly mocked us and our work ethic when we asked if they could simply a mass editing process that is very simple using similar software (but more expensive software, hence the move).

Anyhoots, if it's possible, I can start trying to dig around. But if you or anyone else can point me in the right direction, it's would be spectacular.
