Some here do not know that Jacque is a woman, nor how to pronounce her name.

But jwack???

That's a story of hers, from childhood when her brother couldn't say Jackie. It tickled me, and now I can't help saying [writing] it. As well as klausimausi.

I'm pretty easy with whatever people call me or how they spell it.

KlausMaus I have heard before. But Klausimausi??? He is not a toddler, you know.

Hi Klaus,
All I know is when I used "the first word of fld "startyr" instead of just "fld "startyr"" (and similar for day and month) the derived date was able to be converted to seconds. As it was pointed out, there must have been some invisible character in the fields that I wasn't aware of that was causing the problem. I still do not know what the cause of the problem was, only the solution.

AHA!
Thank you for the info!

I did NOT hear KlausMaus before, but I still have an emailaddress @me.com with the name
of "klausimausi", which I use from time to time if my own address is on some blacklist.
This, adding an i after the actual name is a common german belittlement of names, my dear Craigi.

In English the diminutive is "ie", which is why I got "Jackie". I didn't like it so I changed the spelling when I was 13, thus introducing all kinds of confusion among strangers and acquaintances.

Hmmm, belittlement, dimunutive, confusion. By comparison, coding is quite straightforward !

Code can acquire and manage properties, become drivers, and handle resource balancing, but these are relatively recent feature-parity upgrades for women, and not all systems have been updated.
