    I hate it when I do that or start questioning simple words being used to represent something. Like the work 'look'. You know you need a break when you question the spelling of something that simple.

      Well, last night's left over pizza hadn't filled me up and there was this box of Valentines' chocolate... X| I haven't written any code today and I don't plan to, so I should be good on that front.

          I mailed out two packages to customers. Then I discovered too late that I had switched the labels amongst the packages so they are each on their way to the wrong place.

                True story... I used to work for a Japanese company, and one of the lead developers was called 'Fukui', pronounced "fu-kew-ee", not "f*ck-U-I" which would have been really great, considering the product! :-D

                  Went into a shop intending to ask for an extension cable but ended up asking for a wire and staring at the shop assistant who stared back blankly until I realised what I had said. Who knows what I was thinking and come to think of it I can't even remember! :doh:

                            I misspelled Ammendment Actually the spelling error was a few weeks ago. Today was spent replacing every class, reference and text reference under source control with the correct spelling. It really didn't take more than about 10 minutes but man were there a lot of references.

                            The best thing about programming is that if you misspell a word and are consistent you just have another variable, albeit with a strange name. :-D

                                  Spent way too much time trying to figure out why a function I wrote to do Ajax calls was not returning to the specified callback function. It turns out I was enclosing the name in quotes and passing a string (the name of the function) and not a reference to the actual function. :doh:
