When I’m asked to do a task or solve a problem, I like to do two main things if I can, generalize the solution and automate the process.
When automating, it’s not about being lazy, but being efficient ;) It’s not complicated and I don’t invest much. If I have a program that outputs a file, I’d run another program to read the output and organize it the way I want, I don’t edit the main program. If I have to run this main program several times with different parameters. I’d generate first different parameters files, create a simple batch file with simple DOS commands, that pass the parameters when running the main program, then run my program that takes the necessary information that I want and then renames the output files.
I’d leave it to run overnight because it takes time, and if you are lucky, you won’t face stupid things, like Vista updates being installed and the computer automatically restarting killing your run! Thank GOD in my case, all my runs were done

Unsecuring your machine and crippling it is more important than your silly work.

I’m thinking about an automated ranting bot. The only challenge is finding the right comic picture go with.

And speaking of automation, are you gonna do it, or should I?
