What The Hell Was Going Through My Mind?
-
I'm in the middle of writing an article, and was going back and forth between the article content and the code, and I got to one method and after looking at it for a while, I wondered "What the hell was going through my mind?" Despite having some comments, the code doesn't make any freakin' sense, despite the fact that the application appears to work as intended. Has anyone else ever had that happen to them? EDIT ========== My lovely wife just delivered my 2nd cup of coffee, leaned over my shoulder, and said "I think I know what the problem is. You need more cow bell." Sometimes, she's pretty damn funny. :) EDIT ========== I think I understand the code now. I hadn't noticed that the code in question was performing a LINQ join (slaps forehead). I'm adding more appropriate commentage at this time. EDIT ========== Article is currently over 1000 lines long. It looks like I'm going to have to make it a multi-part series because I'm only about a 3rd of the way finished with the article content. :/

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997With that title you had me worried for a second. Good to see that it was not one of your .45 ACP going through your mind :) Seriously, it's not always easy to start working on a project as if no interruption had occured. I always try to stop when a point has been reached where today's work is done and an entirely new task comes next, so that I don't have to remember too many details. But once in a while it turns out that I have a bad day and do something that's more or less out of the context. It happens.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Indeed, writing an article is a great reason to find and fix things like that.

That'll teach you; write readable code. :-D

It *is* readable. I was simply not reading it. :) PIBCAK (Problem Is Between Chair And Keyboard).

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997That's a great post, John, brought me a 4:20AM smile that was very refreshing as I took a break from strugging for the #nth. time to figure out why an error thrown by Activator.CreateInstance was not being "caught." May I ask what "more cow-bell" is; the phrase fascinates me. I'ts been over nine years since I set foot in the US; what have I been missing in terms of language ? I had lots of contact with "country people" growing up in Florida in the 1950's, and I am quite familiar with hush-puppies, grits, corn-pone, chicory, Uncle Remus stories, Paul Bunyan stories, "wet dog in the house," "fuller than a tick on a dog," "like a cow pi**ing on a flat rock," "cat on a hot tin-roof," etc. But, never heard "cow-bell" used. I can only hope that it doesn't refer to some game on an i-something that has umpteen-million users. thanks, Bill

That's a reference to a Saturday Night Live skit starring Christopher Walken.
