Nope Script, I do not. During my MBA years, writing a program in Fortran was part of the 'required' classes. Traded a marketing paper for the fortran program. Never did get that coding stuff - still don't. First job has a TRS 2000 (?) and we called it the Trash 2000. 'Course the gifted programmers are now multi-million/billionaires, and I'm certainly not....

Shit, anyone else remember Fortran computer programming on punch cards that looked something like this?

Yes. Getting the Engineering BS in the 80s. Writing programming in WATFIV.

Thankfully no, but I can tell you that there are mainframes out there that still exist where certain.... call them database updates I guess... are made with the digital equivalent of a 72 position punch card or whatever it was... so, you have to put characters (not punches) in the proper position in a text file or something like it.

Needless to say, Hayes Hall wasn't named after Woody....

Hayes Hall got its name from Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States and three-time governor of Ohio, on November 17, 1891. President Hayes also served as a member of the OSU Board of Trustees. The association between President Hayes and land-grant education has to do with the fact that he served as the governor of Ohio at the time that the state accepted the federal Morrill Act, which established land-grant colleges including OSU across the country. The fact that Hayes strongly advocated for providing the students of Ohio with mechanical education further connected him to Hayes Hall since the building housed the initial Industrial Arts program on campus. The lower floor originally contained a foundry for the use of Industrial Arts students. Although Hayes knew of the naming of the building prior to his death in January, 1893, he never saw it completed. Hayes Hall was first occupied on February 1, 1893 after heat was finally supplied to the building.

Just saw Script's punch card machine. I remember them with pain. Waiting until 3am to get onto the machine with your cards and then some dick head changing your cards around. So, over to the card reader and checking the Fortran code line by line.

More men seek to hold Ohio State Buckeyes accountable for handling of mistreatment by Richard Strauss

Dozens more men are suing Ohio State over the university's failure to stop sexual abuse and misconduct decades ago by team doctor Richard Strauss.

Just sayin': It's all about the money now.

Looks like some of the suits were dismissed because the statute of limitations expired.

Hmmm...not good.

Ohio State team doctor sexually abused 177 students over decades, report finds

According to the report, the school “had knowledge” of sexually abusive treatment from Strauss as early as 1979, “but reports about Strauss' conduct were not elevated beyond the Athletics Department or Student Health until 1996."

Strauss died in 2005.
