Basic C programming tutorial
**Note: this is in NO way a full explanation of the C language, i left some important parts out to
keep it simple to understand**
This tutorial is intended to be easy to follow for non-programmers and you will be able to write your own simple
programs after you finished it.
The Basics:
You will need a compiler, a compiler is a program which turns your written code into machine code in such a way
that the Operating System (Windows/Linux) can understand it and execute it.
I personally prefer Dev-Cpp for windows, or gcc for linux, almost any linux distibution has gcc in it, and dev-cpp is
free for download.
If you happen to have another one, that will probably be fine too, since we will keep it to the basics.
C is a high-level programming language, meaning it is easy for a man to read but not for the computer, this is the
reason why you will need a compiler.
Let's start with some simple code:
Now open up your compiler or favorite text-editor and copy the above code to it.Code:#include //the standard library for basic input and output functions int main(void) //this is the declaration of the main function, without it a program will not work { return 0; //return 0 to the Operating system, meaning the program ran as it should }
Save the file as nothing.c and compile it:
dev-cpp: "file" --> "new source file", copy the code, "file" --> "save as" enter "nothing.c", and press "F9" to build
and run it.
gcc: you will have to create this file in a texteditor and save it as "nothing.c", then run "gcc -o nothing nothing.c"
after you have compiled it, you can run the executable "nothing" by entering "./nothing" in your shell.
Now you have compiled your first program, if you have run it, you will see that it does absolutely nothing, but it does a
great job doing that ;-)
i will explain the code:
everything what is put behind 2 slashes '//' is comment, the compiler doesn't do anything with it, but it is useful for the
programmer or someone else who will read your code. So make sure you use a lot of comments in your code.
#include --> this is the default input output library which contains functions we will need later on.
int main(void) --> the main function, without it your program will not work. the function is devided in 3 parts:
int --> meaning that the function will return an integer value to the Operating System.
main --> the function name itself.
(void) --> the parameters which the function needs to execute, "void" means empty, no parameters.
as you can see in the main function, we have these symbols {}, those are used to state the beginning and the end of the
function, without it your compiler would not know where the function starts and stops.
return 0; --> return the integer value 0 to the Operating system, since we have stated this in the function
declaration. as you can see we have ; at the end of the line, this is to state that this "command"
will end there. you need these, otherwise your compiler would not know where the "command" stops.
This was our first program, now lets start with another one, the famous "hello World!" program:
now save the above code as "hello.c" and compile it. If you run it, you will get the output "Hello World" on the screen, WOW!Code:#include //here we have the library again needed for the default input and output functions int main(void) //the main function, with an integer value as return and no parameters { //opening the main function printf("Hello World"); //our first calling to the output function which is in the library return 0; //return 0 to the Operating System } //close the main function
note: if you can not see it in windows, this means the program executes to fast, you will need to open a command prompt and
run it from there to see the output.
now let's explain the code:
#include <stdio.h> --> the library for the basic input/output functions, we have used it now for the printf function
int main(void) --> the main function
printf("Hello World"); --> the first function we use from the stdio.h library, it can be used in several ways, but here
we use it to print the string "hello world" to the screen. the quotes are used to tell the
function we want a string to print.
return 0; --> return 0 back to the OS.
The printf function:
Now for the next program:
This one will be a little more complicated, but you will see how easy it is when i explain it.
let's save it as "character.c", compile it and run it.Code:#include //include the standard I/O library int main(void) //the main function { char character; //declare a variable of type char (can only contain characters). character='A'; //put the letter 'A' in the variable printf("%c",character); //print the contents of the variable character to the screen return 0; //return 0 to the OS. }
hey, it printed the character 'A' to the screen (without the singe quotes).
#include --> you know this one by now, no need to explain
int main(void) --> same here
char character; --> this is new, here we declare a variable of type char (can only contain characters).
character='A'; --> here we store the character 'A' (without the quotes) into the variable character.
printf("%c",character); --> here we tell the printf function to print the contents (%) of a variable with
type char (c), and the variable we will use for this is the character variable which we
just declared.
return 0; --> already known by now
Now that we have used a variable in our previous program, i will try to explain what a variable really is.
A variable is nothing more then a piece of memory which can contain the data you store in it.
You can see it like a box, a box where you can put data in.
the name of a variable can be anything, but there are rules you will have to follow:
- the variablename can only contain letters,digits and the underscore character '_'
- the variablename must start with a character
The type of data you can put into it, depends on the type of variable you declared, there are a couple of different types:
* char --> this type of variable can contain exactly one character
* int --> this type of variable can contain an integer number with nothing behind the comma.
* float --> this type of variable can contain a number with numbers behind the comma, like this: 1234,56
this list is NOT complete, but it will do for now, all we have left are types of different sizes then the ones above.
let's write a program then will use all 3 types:
as you can see we need to specify the type of variable we want to print out, as well as the name of the variable.Code:#include int main(void) { char charac; //declare a var(iable) of type char with name "charac" int number; //declare a var of type int(eger) with name "number" float comma_number; //declare a var of type float with name "comma_number" charac = 'B'; //put the value 'B' in the variable number = 12; //put the value '12' in the variable comma_number = 1234,66; //put the value '1234,66' in the variable printf("%c"charac); //print the contents of the variable charac of type char on the screen printf("\n"); //print a newline on the screen (go to the next line) printf("%d",number); //print the content of the variable number of type int to the screen printf("\n"); //print a newline on the screen (just like we did above) printf("%f",comma_number); //print the content of the var comma_number of type float to the screen. return 0; //return 0 to the OS. }
here are the types:
type char --> %c
type float --> %f
type int --> %d
type string --> %s
there are more of these, but these will be the ones we will be using in this tutorial.
you will probably be wondering, type string??? what the hell is that??
well, a string is NOT a type of variable, it is simply an variable of type char which can contain more then one character.
you can declare it like this:
char string[]="Hello World";
now we have declared a variable which can contain multiple characters, let's use the printf function to put it on the screen:
printf("%s",string); // we give printf the parameters %s and string, the first is the type and the second the name.
you call this variable an array since it can contain more then one character (i'm not getting into arrays, this is a
basic tutorial, just remember they exist).
User input:
Now that we have gotten so far, let's talk about user input, cause after all, what would a program be if you aren't able to
alter the output?
user input can be done in almost the same way as printing text to the screen with the printf function, except this time we'll
use the scanf function:
scanf("%d",&number); see how it looks like the printf function? this code tells the compiler to scan for an integer
value (%d), and store it in the variable number (&number), the only difference with printf is that
you need to put the and & character before the name of the variable, this is because it puts the data
into a memory address, and it needs to know where that address is, &number means:
address of the variable number.
if you would like to scan for a character, this would be the code:
there is only one difference with wanting to scan for a string:
scanf("%s",string); see how the name of the variable is missing & in front of it? this has to do with pointers, don't
worry about that for now, just remember that you do not need the & character to scan for a string
but you DO need it for every other variable.
Example program:
save the code as userinput.c and compile and run it, you will be asked for your name, after you have pressed enter, theCode:#include int main(void) { char name[80]; //we need to give the size (80) of the variable since we do not store anything in it at this time printf("Enter your name: "); scanf("%s",name); //now lets scan for your name printf("Hello %s, how are you?",name); //now we use the variable to put your name between the rest of the text //and print it to the screen return 0; }
program will print out your name in a sentence.
Calculating with variables:
What good would a variable do if you could only store something in it, but are not able to do something else then print
the values to the screen? nothing!
so let's talk about making them useful:
the following characters are used to calculate with variables/values:
* --> the multiple character
/ --> the devide character
+ --> the add character
- --> the substract character
% --> the modules character (modules is the remainder after deviding one value through another: 12 % 5 = 2 and 5 % 2 = 1 )
we will write an example program to show this:
now compile it and run it.Code:#include int main(void) { int a; int b; int temp; printf("Enter first value: "); scanf("%d",&a); printf("\nEnter next value: "); scanf("%d",&a); temp = a + b; printf("\na + b = %d",temp); temp = a / b; printf("\na / b = %d",temp); temp = a * b; printf("\na * b = %d",temp); temp = a - b; printf("\na - b = %d",temp); return 0; }
as you can see we did some calculations with the values you've entered. Cool!
We can also calculate this way with characters since a character value is also a decimal value:
compile it and run it. you will see that although we've put the value 'A' in the variable, the output is the character 'B'.Code:#include int main(void) { char my_char = 'A'; my_char = my_char + 1; printf("%c",my_char); return 0; }
now why is this?
the character 'A' is the same as the decimal value 65 in the ASCII table, and the character 'B' has value 66, so 65+1=66.
Letting the program decide:
We also would like the program to make decisions for us, since it would be pretty boring if the program always would
run the same way.
we have multiple ways to let the program decide, but we will stick to the if statement in this tutorial.
here's the code:
now compile it and run it, as you can see depending on your input there will be multiple lines printed to the screen.Code:#include int main(void) { int a; int b; printf("Enter first value: "); scanf("%d",&a); printf("\nEnter second value: "); scanf("%d",&b); if( a > b) //if value in var a is bigger then the value in var b then { printf("\nfirst value is bigger then the second"); } if( a < b ) //if value in var a is smaller then the value in var b then { printf("\nsecond value is bigger then the first"); } if( a == b ) //if value in var a is equal to the value in var b then { printf("\nfirst value is equal to the second"); } if( a != ) //if value in var a is not to equal the value in var b then { printf("\n first value is not equal to the second"); } if( a <= b ) //if value in var a is smaller or equal to the value in var b then { printf("\n first value is smaller or equal to the second"); } if( a >= b ) //if value in var a is bigger or equal to the value in var b then { printf("\n first value is bigger or equal to the second"); } return 0; }
this is the end of what we will learn in this tutorial, if you have mastered all what is told here, then i suggest you
go to this site as it contains a lot more tutorials
for the C language.
you should now be able to write your own simple programs.

Perez leaves it late as FC Dallas edges New England
Foxborough, MA – Blas Perez's tally just three minutes from time lifted FC Dallas to a 1-0 win over the New England Revolution on Saturday at Gillette Stadium.
Dallas entered the match on top of the Western Conference with three wins from their first four matches and Perez's strike gave the resilient road side their third consecutive victory.
Both teams had a few chances to score in a very tightly-played affair, but it was the road team that was able to find the back of the net with only minutes remaining on the clock as David Ferreira lofted a free kick into the area that was chased down by Perez on the run and he was able to beat New England goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth from in close.
The late tally seemed to suck the life out of the hosts and New England was unable to find a tying goal as the Revs' winless run in league play is extended to three straight matches on the heels of their 1-0 win over Chicago to open the season.
New England returns to action on April 13 against the Seattle Sounders at CenturyLink Field, while FC Dallas will go for its fourth straight victory next Saturday against Toronto FC.

Ruth Reeves admittedly is not an artist. The Flat Rock resident, however, has an eye for talent.
Ruth Reeves admittedly is not an artist. The Flat Rock resident, however, has an eye for talent.
That ability to work with artists has served her well for more than three decades, and her artists, both new and established, have painted families, children and famous figures.
Most recently, Reeves' company, Portraits Inc., was commissioned to paint a portrait of Army Gen. Martin Dempsey. Dempsey is the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Portraits Inc. has painted: Colin Powell, retired general and secretary of state; Madeleine Albright, former secretary of state; and Francis Harvey, former secretary of the U.S. Army.
Reeves owns a third of the national company, and the primary gallery is in New York at 89th Street and Madison Avenue. Reeves and her two partners — one lives in Columbus, Ohio, and the other in Birmingham, Ala. — bought the company three years ago.
"It was quite a prestigious buy for us," Reeves said.
One of Reeves' responsibilities for Portraits Inc., which is one of the largest portrait companies in the country, is government contracting. The company also contracts with private companies for corporate portraits.
Reeves knows the military all too well. Her father was an officer in the Army, and her brother graduated from West Point.
Reeves originally is from California and owned a gallery in downtown Hendersonville next to Hannah Flanagan's restaurant. She moved the company, formerly known as The Portrait Source, to Flat Rock three years ago. Reeves has lived in Henderson County for 26 years.
Her interest in the portrait world began when her father-inlaw was the president of a company. He wanted a portrait and asked Reeves to find an artist.
In her current gallery, a wide range of portraits hangs on the walls — everything from pastels under glass to purist paintings. Her list of artists is international.
The portraits on the walls aren't for sale. Instead, they provide examples for those seeking portraits of themselves or loved ones.
"The South is such a perfect place for portraiture," Reeves said. "It's very traditional."
A client will come in and look over an artist list. Once the artist is chosen, that artist will be flown in if need be and will spend a significant amount of time with the subject. Once the artist is ready to paint, the artist and client will communicate and make corrections until the finished product is what was envisioned.
The only local artist used by Reeves is Fletcher resident Kelly Phipps.
"She's very tenacious," Reeves said of Phipps. "She's very talented."
That is the part of the job that Reeves loves so much; she's enamored by the artists.
"The real beauty of it is, I get to work with the people," she said. "I get to live vicariously through their talent. I don't have the ability. They do."
It's not just the talent. It's also the finished product. As Reeves moved through her gallery, she shared the details of the different paintings.
"It's not just a painting," she said. "It's not flat. It's not one-dimensional. There's such a beauty to that. There's a beauty to human form."
The portraits, whether for government or personal, are records of history, Reeves said. The Dempsey portrait, for instance, showed details of who the general is both personally and professionally, Reeves said. His medals are detailed and tell a history that other military personnel will know. There's a photograph of his family in the portrait as well.
"This is a recording of everything the man is," she said. "This is a cultural conversation." That's what makes finding talent even more important, Reeves said. Her artists need to understand what the portrait business requires and have the talent to undertake such a personal venture. That's where the past 30 years of experience for Reeves comes into play. It's what makes the job worthwhile at the end of the day.
"After 30 years, I like to think I have an eye for what we're trying to promote," she said. "This is a very unique business."

Victor Oladipo, Sporting News' college basketball player of the year, announced Thursday that he is leaving Indiana early to enter the NBA Draft. Oladipo has not signed with an agent yet.
Oladipo had a breakout year in which he led the Hoosiers to 29 wins, their first outright Big Ten regular season title in 20 year and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Indiana's season ended with a loss to Syracuse in the Sweet 16.
"To be an Indiana Hoosier means so much to me, and I'll always be an Indiana Hoosier," Oladipo said. "This is my home."
The junior guard 13.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 2.1 assists per game. He was named Big Ten defensive player of the year.
DraftExpress.com projects Oladipo as the No. 5 pick in the draft.
"He's a great player because he plays both ends at such an incredibly high level," Indiana coach Tom Crean told Sporting News in March. "There's so much talent in there, and he's made these gradual changes. His game really elevated last year in February, especially his ability with ball screens. I think that gave him more confidence because he could get to the rim. The shooting he's just continued to work on.
"He's able to fix what needs to be fixed and focus on what makes him best."
Oladipo entered Indiana as a little-known recruit and improved each season. A solid defender, he added to his offensive arsenal, improving his outside shot and ball-handling over three years. Crean foresaw Oladipo making the jump to the NBA and admitted he over-signed with that in mind.
"I could coach another 30 years and I wouldn't see another guy improve from end to end the way he has," Crean said.

Dracula fright
With Halloween comes scary creatures. Perhaps there is not one that is more scary than or more popular as a Halloween costume than Count Dracula.
Count Dracula is the central character in Irish novelist Bram Stoker's horror story, "Dracula," published in 1897.
The story is told like a gathering of documentations, such as letters, diaries, ship log entries, and even newspaper clippings, to name a few things. Jonathan Harker, a real estate worker, travels from England to Count Dracula's castle situated in the Carpathian Mountains. Harker soon finds himself trapped in the castle and barely escapes.
Soon afterwards, Dracula begins to chase both Harker's fiancee, Mina, and her friend, Lucy. Lucy begins to waste away suspiciously, and professor Abraham Van Helsing is brought in to help. Van Helsing soon determines Lucy's fate, she has been turned into a vampire. Lucy then encounters a wolf, and both are assumed to have died from fright.
However, soon after Lucy is buried, locals begin to report being stalked by a lady. Van Helsing puts together a team that tracks "Lucy" down and stakes her heart, beheads her, and fills her mouth with garlic.
The group then turns their attention towards Dracula. Dracula learns of their plans and takes revenge by feeding on Mina. This creates some kind of a bond with her due to the blood of the blood of the vampire flowing in her veins.
Dracula was now able to control Mina through a hypnotic state. Van Helsing's crew finally track Dracula down and stab him through the heart with a knife. In the end, Dracula crumbles to dust and Mina is freed from the curse.
While clearly a fictional work, most agree that Stoker's story was based on the actual life of Transylvania-born Vlad III, better known as Vlad the Impaler. Vlad was ruler of Wallachia for a short time (1456-1462), and was especially known for his grotesque method of disposing of political rivals, criminals and others he considered useless to his empire. He also took a dislike to women who had lost their virginity prior to marriage. He killed around 100,000 people in his short rule by slowly impaling them with sharp stakes, hence his nickname.
Most experts agree that Stoker got the idea to base his character on Vlad III from a Hungarian professor he had studied under.
The story and ideas of vampires does not stop at the fictional novel however. Vampiremania has provided a endless amount of subcultures. With technology, the following has went to online chat rooms, websites and clubs for people claiming to be vampires or for others wanting to research vampires.
According to Hebrew legend, vampires existed from the beginning of time.
According to the Midrash, which is a collection of Hebrew legends, Adam had a wife prior to Eve named Lillith. The legend says both were created from the dust. When Adam approached Lillith for the purpose of having a physical relationship, Lillith refused to be subservient.
When Adam attempted to force her, she left Eden to the banks of the Red Sea. There, she mated with demons until God sent three Angels to return her to Adam, according to the legend. Many vampire enthusiasts believe Lillith to be the first vampire.
Legends tell of other vampires throughout history.
In 1727, a young soldier by the name of Arnold Paul was said to have wandered Belgrade after he was buried. Within days after he had died, it was said that Paul was seen by several villagers, who soon died after coming in contact with him. According to historical records, Paul's body was exhumed. It was staked and burned to ash.
In Hungary, Peter Plogojowitz was reportedly seen as many as 10 years after his death. Reportedly he entered several people's homes and choked them to death. According to reports, a police officer and a minister headed up and exhumation and his body was found still intact. His body was staked and burned, and all strange deaths reportedly ceased in the village from that point.

Habs, Bruins battle for first place in Boston
The Montreal Canadiens remain pleased with their effort over the last two games despite back-to-back losses in regulation.
Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julien, meanwhile, is worried about his club's fatigue despite rallying for a victory last time out.
The long-time rivals meet for the third time this season on Wednesday night, with first place in the Northeast Division at stake in Boston.
The Bruins and Canadiens both have 45 points on the season, with Boston holding the tiebreaker due to a game in hand. The Bruins also have one more victory than the Habs, which they picked up Monday versus the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs.
Montreal had a chance to come into this meeting ahead of Boston in the standings, but dropped a 1-0 decision at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night. It marked the first time this season that the Canadiens have lost consecutive games in regulation.
The Habs and Bruins have split their two earlier meetings this season as Boston extended its series winning streak to five straight with a 2-1 victory in Montreal on Feb. 6 before the Canadiens countered with a 4-3 triumph in Boston on March 3.
The pair of one-goal decisions didn't come as much as a surprise as seven of the past eight encounters have all been decided by that margin. The Canadiens will host the Bruins on April 6 to conclude the regular-season series.
Both of Montreal's recent setbacks have also been decided by the lowest possible difference as it followed up a 2-1 home loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday with last night's defeat to Pittsburgh. The Canadiens had been 14-1-4 in their previous 19 prior to the consecutive setbacks.
"We've got to take the positives out of it," said Canadiens goaltender Carey Price following the loss to the Pens. "If we keep playing the way we are, we're not going to lose that many games like that. We've just got to stick to it."
Price made 24 saves on Tuesday night, yielding the lone goal of the game to Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby with 6:41 left in the second period. The Pittsburgh center took a stretch pass and beat Price on the top left.
"I thought we played pretty well, that's the disappointing part," said Price. "Obviously he's the best player in the world and about five millimeters was the difference in the game tonight."
Montreal will now try to avoid matching its longest losing streak of the season, an 0-2-1 span from Feb. 6-9 that began with the home loss to Boston.
The Bruins welcome the Habs to town after splitting a home-and-home series with the Maple Leafs. They dropped the road portion of the set on Saturday 3-2, failing to rally after giving up the game's first three goals.
Boston then fell behind 2-0 at home to Toronto on Monday, but got a second- period tally from Milan Lucic before Patrice Bergeron tied the game with 9:24 to play in the third.
Tyler Seguin and Bergeron then scored shootout goals, while Tuukka Rask stopped 2-of-3 in the tiebreaker after posting 23 saves through overtime.
"To me, it was a gutsy effort," Julien said. "Not a pretty effort, but a gutsy one. Until they scored their second goal, we really weren't that good. I don't think the will and desire is not there more than I think we're a little heavy right now in our play. We've lost some speed and everything else that comes with it. So it's a gutsy effort anyway from our part that after they scored their second goal, we got ourselves going."
After opting not to hold a pregame skate on Monday morning, Julien also decided to give his players off on Tuesday as well.
Julien hopes that will have his players energized tonight as they try to pick up a sixth straight victory at home, a streak that began following the loss to the Habs on March 3.

So I've recently had a couple of random freezes on the hard disk, which caused some unresponsiveness in the system (couldn't open files, shutdown, etc).
I had related issues in Windows 7 as well, but installing Intel Rapid Storage Technology solved the problem almost 100%.
Now I'm not sure if I should install this service in Arch, since it's mostly needed for Raid which I don't have, but the manual of the laptop (Clevo p150hm) suggested I do so anyway (for Windows that is).
I ran fsck, but there were no errors whatsoever. Same thing with smartctl.
dmesg output after the freeze:

Before that section, there was a gap for some reason - don't know what that means. And of course after booting again, there was a recovering journal process, which ended successfully the first time, but the second I had to boot to Windows, then reboot, because some process failed and eventually led to an emergency shell.
That does not look good. I think those I/O errors may be real. In your logs, do you see the same sectors showing up, or are they all over the disk.
Does the drive support SMART ? If so, install what of the SMART utilities and see what the drive's internal diagnostics have to say.
Lastly, now would be a really good time to backup anything important you may have on that drive.
Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature -- Michael Faraday
Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine. -- Alan Turing
How to Ask Questions the Smart Way
I would also recommend running a memtest which can be accessed by booting from the Arch ISO.
Just choose memtest from the boot menu and relax for about 30 minutes while it runs.
I had a similar issue a while back caused by a failing RAM card.
Linux only since 2002! Arch Linux only since 2010!
UEFI booting an intel based system trouble free since 2016!
Yeah, I always backup my (important) data to an external hard drive, it's a good habit.
I think the related logs are gone, I can't find anything in the /var/log/ directory. Unless there is another location(?) that I'm not aware of. Besides, if the disk freezes, you can't have anything written it it obviously.
I did run smartctl, as I mentioned. Did the long and short tests, the other that was mentioned in the wiki was not available. They were both successful. I had also done some other tests in Windows with various hdd checking programs, and nothing was found too. (except for some "retry count" thing)
I have run memtest for several hours, it's definitely not the RAM. The logs point to the disk, unless I'm way off.
RAM is ok then.
The logs do point to the disk but in my case failing RAM was causing erroneous log errors.
Hope you find what you're looking for.
If it were me I'd be reinstalling right about now.
Linux only since 2002! Arch Linux only since 2010!
UEFI booting an intel based system trouble free since 2016!
Ok, now I get some unresponsiveness on certain things (can't open app menu in xfce-panel, keyboard scrolling in chrome, right click in desktop - although the launchers in the panels work good, except that when launched the terminal becomes unresponsive). After a while the system becomes fully functional again.
[ 1963.822517] EXT4-fs (sda3): re-mounted. Opts: commit=600
[ 1969.130092] EXT4-fs (sda3): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0
I don't know if it's related to the 2 disk lockups I had. Could some file have become corrupted, so the remounting is a failsafe thing of the OS?
I also seem to have noticed that it happens when I play a media file, and I have to use the fn-buttons to increase/decrease the volume. But the log kinda baffles me.
edit. Well, it happened again. (see 1st post)
Again I had to boot to windows, in order to boot to linux, otherwise it stated that "failed command: FLUSH CACHE EXT", (or something like that) when it was recovering the journal.
At the time of the freeze, the dmesg was similar to the one I posted in my opening post. And if I remember correctly, they were the same sectors (wtf).
I just want to locate the fault for certain, before I just replace the hdd and then maybe it happens again.
Last edited by T.J.S. (2012-09-27 17:22:25)
It keeps happening, guys.
The hard drive suddenly becomes unreadable for some reason.
Anyone has a take on what might be causing it? Maybe some wires not connecting properly? Or the hdd is just failing (though the tests don't show any bad sectors)? Can it be a motherboard issue, or is it not related?

Believe it or not I have never made any scottish ales before but I have a request to do a wee heavy so I'm starting here to grow the yeast. I realize the recipe relies on heavy kettle caramelization and is simply UK 2 row and a smidge of RB. But the part I'm having issue with is the concentration of the "first running" via skotrat recipe. For me it would simply be easier to boil the main volume for as long as it takes. How long are we talking here? 4 hours? Or should I just do the concentrated boil method? Mind you I'm doing this today so I have to choose SOON.
OK, you guys convinced me. I'll do the first runnings. I am only doing a 12 gallon batch. Problem with 2nd kettle for boiling down is solved. Thanks for the tips.Oh, I'm using TF MO. Don't have no stinkin' GP.
I don't think you'll get the same flavors from a long boil as you would from boiling wort into syrup. But it's only a gallon or two - you can do that on a stove top with a pasta pot.Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4

Review: Gingerbread Oreos
Limited edition Gingerbread Oreos are now on the shelves at your local grocery. We snagged a bag and put them to the seasonal taste test.
By: Kevin Bender
The holiday season is finally upon us, and that means one thing. The folks at Oreo have done it again and concocted a new seasonal variety to delight us: Limited edition Gingerbread Oreos are now on the shelves at your local grocery. We snagged a bag and put them to the seasonal taste test.
These Oreos are sweet. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you can't take the gingerbread sweetness, get out of the holiday cookie jar.
- It is actually only the creme in these holiday Oreos that have "gingerbread" flavor.
- Our tasters detected notes of ginger, cinnamon, and even pungent cloves mixed in to cafe au lait colored creme. The creme sampled on its own feels somehow incomplete, and indeed, too sugary for this taster. But judging the components independently would be an unfair cookie assessment.
- Encased between two buttery vanilla-flavored Oreo cookies, the gingerbread creme sings a holiday song. What was missing from the creme alone -- that buttery richness -- is supplied by the cookies. Plus, the addition of the smooth vanilla flavor is a welcome counterpoint to the sharpness of the spiced cream.
- You know how gingerbread covered in vanilla cream cheese frosting just seems like the perfect combination? I rest my case. Here, the cookies play the role of the cream cheese frosting, a vital but ultimately supporting role to the starring gingerbread creme.

Best Kids Parties: Aviation
Name: Arlo (1)
Location: Clinton, OK
As soon as my mom snatched up the coolest wooden rocking airplane at a garage sale for my boys last year, I knew we had to have an airplane/travel party for Arlo's first birthday.
It was probably one of the most fun parties I've ever planned because just about everything I used for the party I either made or found in various places in our house. We're talking LOW budget.
I gathered maps, old cameras, and little suitcases for the tablescape. Even the aviator cap was made from a free pattern I found online and some scrap leather my husband had leftover from a past project. My sister made the amazing ombre "sky" cake along with the tiny red airplane topper (using craft foam, toothpicks and tiny buttons for the wheels).
We kept it very simple and with the theme, serving tiny sandwiches, pretzels, and lemonade tp the party goers.
I have to say that my favorite part of the whole party was the sky backdrop made out of a tuquoise sheet and clouds out of polyfill. Arlo and the guests (even some adults) had a great time "flying" for the pics!
Thanks Meridith! Readers, enjoy more pictures of this fun party at Smitty Baby and Flickr.

Gearball Geared Puzzle Sphere
A whole ball of puzzle.
- A puzzle cube pumped up into a ball and mashed with gears.
- Turn and watch the gears rotate and the colors get all messed up.
- Solve it, or just use it as a fun thing to twist and meditate on.
You've struggled through the alien citadel. Sure it is dormant, but the security systems are still active. Finally, you are in the control room. If you can activate the citadel's main power system, the universe will experience something really cool that will make everyone like you. But . . . there are no controls. Finally, you see it: a floating, geared ball. You twist and turn and the gears and colors shift. The colors align and the citadel wakes. And so do you. BUT, at least you really have a Gearball Geared Puzzle Sphere.
Each Gearball Geared Puzzle Sphere is just about what the name sounds like. Turn the ball to get the colors aligned (or messed up) and joy to the smooth movement of the gears. Heck, we don't even want to solve it most of the time we pick it up; we just like the feel and the sound of the gears. It's meditative. You won't be able to awaken any alien bases with your Gearball Geared Puzzle Sphere (at least, we can't guarantee it), but everyone will like you if you have one (also, not guaranteed, but highly likely).
Gearball Geared Puzzle Sphere
- A puzzle cube, pumped up into a sphere, and then enhanced with the magic of gears.
- Awesome gear mechanism makes a deliciously gear-y sound when turned.
- Invented by Uwe Meffert.
- Dimensions: approx. 3" diameter.

What is Karate? "True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice." -- Gichin Funakoshi Karate translated either means "Chinese hand" or "Empty hand" depending on which Japanese or Chinese characters you use to write it. Okinawan Karate styles tend to be hard and external. In defense they tend to be circular, and in offense linear. Okinawan Karate styles tend to place more emphasis on rigorous physical conditioning than the Japanese styles. Japanese styles tend to have longer, more stylistic movements and to be higher commitment. They also tend to be linear in movement, offense, and defense. Both tend to be high commitment, and tend to emphasize kicks and punches, blocks, strikes, evasions, throws, joint manipulations and a strong offense as a good defense. Karate techniques consist basically of hand and foot techniques. Hand techniques are divided into defensive or offensive moves. Foot techniques are divided into kicking techniques; snap and thrust kicks. Other important elements of Karate include stances, posture, body shifting, hip rotation, and breathing.

A few days ago, I tried to be clever.
When I work away from home, I usually put anything special in my bag the night before and routine stuff before I leave. Every once in a while I forget something in the morning rush.
That morning, just as I came from the bathroom, I saw both my husband's and my reading glasses lying on the table, his a black metal skeleton with a brown chain, mine grey with a black chain; and neither of us could tell a dog from a cat looking through the other's pair. I better take my glasses now, I thought, so I won't pick up the wrong pair in the rush. I put my pair in its case and right away in my bag.
Shortly after I arrived at work, my husband phoned to wish me a fun day – with his reading glasses.
Lessons learned: 1. When trying to be clever, check again what I'm doing. 2. Only my own glasses let me see the world my way.
For lack of something better to do 😉 , I thought about how often we see the world through glasses which are not our own…
- …following shoulds and musts which others have created
- …not giving in to our intuition, but repeating "how we've always done it"
- …getting stuck with our obsolete beliefs about how things are or should be
- …defining our goals by comparison with what others do and are successful with
- …entering the wrong "competitions" with others
- …lazy thinking, that is not thinking for ourselves
…What are your examples, from your life, of looking through someone else's glasses. Or in which cases has putting on your own glasses led to joy and success?

by ThrillHouse » Sun May 17, 2009 6:20 pmThis was a badass book. Review soon.

hell mine is long winded at 634, but this is one of those books I could have written a lot more about.
by guitarsmashley » Sun May 17, 2009 8:32 pmThat was fucking amazing. i need to think about this for a while. Beyond the last page it was absolutely incredible.

It was pretty good, liked the art, but maybe my dislike of the Harry Potter franchise colors my views a bit, because as has been noted there is no attempt to obfuscate the fact that Tommy is a HP analog. Not bad for a first issue, if it's a light week for me and I have a little xtra $ maybe I'll give #2 a try but a Harry Potter/Fables/Promethea mash-up is going to be a tough sell for me.
by guitarsmashley » Mon May 18, 2009 12:46 amI was very hesitant about this book since as I previously mentioned I'm no fan of Mike Carey in fact I've never read a single thing by him I've liked. Peter Gross is also in the take it or leave it pool for me. I've never disliked anything he's done but he's not an artist that will make me run out and get something he's done. That's where this book leaves me. I ignored all the previews in Fables last month since I thought it looked boring like all the other Mike Carrey books I've seen. I thought the first few pages were what to expect out of this comic and I was immediately disappointed. The I realized it was going to somehow be a story in a story and figured it would be an author doing some kind of reading and it was going to be a books of magic type story. I was pleasantly surprised. This was an amazing first issue and it posed a lot of questions that I need answered and need to be answered either monthly or twice a year. I haven't decided yet. I'm interested in where the story can go and hopefully the book can keep up a monthly schedule, especially if I go that route. either way I enjoyed the book but the last page had me a little confused as blood would still be dripping from a statue a few days after it was used in an attack and well that guy just likes to carry around his attack weapon, yes I realize it was the only way to let the reader in on him being the attacker but either way it would have been nice to see him actually connected to the people we've met so far.

I've been to England a few times. I'm not saying it should have been filled with cliches, but the dialog seemed very American to me.

Look at this way, is there anything specific to the way I or any other UK poster writes a post which would show them up as British? Is there anything in a Canadians posts which look Canadian? Or even you, an American.
Without using cliches, it's hard to really differentiate dialects when written down, it's why Claremont had to use cheesy phrases with all his foreign characters, Das Vedanya! Mein Gott! Faith and Begorrah! etc...

my problem was more with Gross than with Carey. everybody's teeth looked far too good to be British.
by Punchy » Mon May 18, 2009 1:37 pm
Yeah, but nobody in American comics are obese are they? So it's fair turnaround.

Ah, Punchy, there you go again...

I mean, today's headline and everything! (I only read it for the femail.)
Don't forget you've got the highest rate of obesity in Europe, mate!
by Punchy » Mon May 18, 2009 5:05 pm
An obese European is a petite American!
by Garofani Spruzzo » Mon May 18, 2009 5:10 pm
That ain't what I just read! Quit trying to lump you fatass Brits in with slimmer nations! Or we get Canada! They might be slender.

What is it about the english language that makes us fat?
