  • I am Getting Old

    From Jeff Gaines@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 14 08:41:35 2023
    I want to convert my Brave bookmarks file into something I can store and manage.

    I found a utility on Code Project to read the file and save it to a
    DataGrid then create a TreeView. I played about and write something to
    write it to an Access DB. Only problem is it wouldn't write to the DB for
    some reason.

    I have in my toolkit a "Class Generator" that I wrote which takes in the fields in the format C# expects them, converts them to a common format
    then creates a class file, updater file and Access database and table, it wouldn't work though.

    I headed off to Code Project and downloaded the version I put up there in
    2011. Changed the location of the database, chucked the fields at it and
    it wrote all the files, an Access DB and the Access table.

    I then ran my bookmarks app and it saved 1,213 records.

    I must have known what I was doing in 2011, sadly not so much now.

    It was a right bugger to get him back when he ran off.

    Very relatable situation. Not that I've ever been as smart as that.
    I recently gave up my 13 year old computer, running Windows 10 and
    moved to a new computer running Windows 10.

    Trying to configure the new setup to match the old one and it's a big
    struggle. A lot of the little I had upstairs has gone AWOL.

    I suspect we have forgotten how stupid we were :-)
