How often does this happen to you?
-
Nah, I don't blog... But something similar does happen to me often... 1) Encounter a difficult problem 2) Spend hours figuring out a solution and coding it 3) Try to move the new code into my common libraries, only to realize it's already there... With exactly the same name as I was about to give it... And has been there for over a year.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Ah yes, often to find that your previous solution is an elegant work of art. How did I forget this!?

You've been racking your brain, trying to figure out why/how {insert problem here}. You finally break down and search the interwebs, and there's the answer... on your own blog... that your wrote a year ago. You have no recollection of writing it. :|
I've had that happen a few times with articles I've posted here. :) Marc

Nice. What would be funnier is sending a thank you note to the author for his article, and then immediately getting an email.
OMG I am exactly absent minded enough to do just that. :laugh:

I remember what I write about, but yeah, I often revisit an article I wrote to figure out how the hell something works. What's worse, I wrote a (Dutch) article on co- and contra variance with generics once. At the time it all seemed very easy. Now I don't understand my own article anymore (well, after really careful reading) :laugh: Whenever I see it I'm amazed at how smart I once was ;p

I mainly blog about challenges I encounter, so that **others** can benefit from my pain. I haven't had this happen with any of my articles here, *yet*.

You're having old man problems. On the bright side all those really bad jokes you heard will be surprising and funny again.
