Forgive me Master Splinter and Ratatouille, it is not that I hate rats but I just don’t like sharing the house with them. The BIG rat at home caused a lot of trouble already. He ate our vegetables (even onions!) and foraged on our trash. He bored holes on our staircase and deposits his smelly feces and food scraps behind our ref and inside our storage cabinet. We tried different ways (mouse trap, racumin) to get rid of him but to no avail. I am rejoicing right now that he is already exterminated, thanks to the following people:
Me and Kuya for trapping him inside the cabinet
Ate and ate ainnie for suggesting to throw boiling water on him while he is trapped, since according to them, scalding the rat could make him weaker and will make it easier to capture him
Noreen for setting a prize for anyone who can get rid of the rat
Jelly for having the courage to execute the plan and to eventually exterminate the rat
My nephew Biboy for the moral support =)
FTP Get command transfers a non-existent file June 9, 2009

I got this problem while creating a batch script that downloads from a ftp site. While testing a scenario that a file is not existing on the ftp site, the program returns a zero-byte file with the name of the nonexistent file. Apparently the FTP Get command creates a file length of zero bytes when checking to see if the file may be copied to the local computer. Thus, if the file transfer from the remote computer fails (e.g. file is not existing on remote computer), the empty file is not deleted. I got the details from a Microsoft Support page. Using the mget command and checking if the file is downloaded to the local directory, the program does what it is intended to do. Below is a snippet of the code, feel free to comment.
