    ...You are writing an email and you find yourself ending sentences with semi-colons ...You hit Ctrl-Shift-B after completing the email instead of Ctrl+Return ...You keep hitting tab and wonder why your words aren't autocompleting ...You find yourself trying to check if you're under Debug or Release before sending the email ...You realise the person reading the email is using a Mac and you get worried about whether they will be able to read your email. And you know I wish I was joking here. Jetlag and long nights are a killer. Anyone got any more?

    cheers, Chris Maunder

      Your favorite language looks like this... 01 Input-Record. 05 Input-Key PIC X(05) COMP-X. 05 Input-Data PIC X(75). 01 Output-Record. 05 Output-Key PIC 9(13). 05 Output-Data PIC X(75). ... Move Input-Key to Output-Key. Move Input-Data to Output-Data. Write Output-Record.

          you at night light a torch and feel amazed by the DYNAMIC SHADOWS you see a fog and think "it's a sprite or a particle effect?" you see a real world object falling, then bouncing and say "it shouldn't act like that" xD

            LOL... I thought I was the only one here who did that. "Imagine the time it would take to write that shader! Bump mapping, sub-surface scattering, wow..." (looking at an ice cube)

            Post that one on my other favorite programming site - gamedev.net. I guarantee you'll get a TON of people who think just like that.

              That is not romantic? What about linking or "Being with you is like when code runs bug free the first time" When your dreams start to be object oriented

                ... that infinite loop comes to haunt your dreams. (I've had this happen SO many times... programming really makes sleeping suck! :P)

                    Have joined there, strange how I used to go to gamedev for tutorials about coding my own games but never joined. See you there.

                      So that's not just me then. I used to send a lot of apologies for unfinished emails.

                      Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

                      And (late as always) send unfinished apologies for unfinished emails. And unfinished emails apologising for unfinished apologies for unfinished emails. What was that about recursion and stack overflow?
