just about enough time to boil an egg

Well If I used my handler that quickly I'm sure my eggs would get boiled: and, of course the
handler's blocking: I don't know anyone who can multi-task while they are "boiling their eggs".

We return you now to your normal discussion

That's odd, I didn't notice anything normal round here.

And, re blocking handlers: I don't know what anyone expected from
a quick-n-dirty stack dreamt up in about 10 minutes.

Try this:

Code: Select all

wait SEX secs without waiting

and wait for it to come . . . err . . . back.

Certainly does NOT work.

"Let's get object-based."

At the risk of sounding sensible (!): how can one prevent a wait statement from being a blocker?

Just avoid it!

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   ask "Time in minutes?"
   put it into MINZ
   put (MINZ * 60) into SEX
   set the width of stack "COOKING" to 2
   set the height of stack "COOKING" to 2
   set the loc of stack "COOKING" to -10,-10
   send "the_eggs" to me in SEX secs
end mouseUp

command the_eggs
   set the width of stack "COOKING" to 1024
   set the height of stack "COOKING" to 780
   set the loc of stack "COOKING" to the screenLoc
end the_eggs

Thanks, Klaus.

What, and ruin your record?

[bogs]

It will certainly be some nasty concept!
In fact, Richmond has also included "SEX" in its code.

It does indeed sound like it is a recipe for a 'spicy meatball'....erm, egg...yah, thats it, egg...

Sorry to interrupt the egg discussion, but I wouldn't use Richmond's handler. The "wait" command is blocking and will prevent any other use of LC during that time. And in some cases it will also block all background OS activity too.

That is an eggcellent point Jacque

I don't know anyone who can multi-task while they are "boiling their eggs".

In other words, better to 'boil your eggs' than to 'boil over' eh? And what ever you do, don't get a boil on your eggs

I really enjoyed the sensibility in this thread, invigorating!
