This is why I'll always enjoy software development. Because, every once in a while, I get something to work. :laugh: It's just enough that it keeps leading me on to keep on going. :laugh: :laugh:

I don't feel it in my bones until it happens after the second fix, when my mouse gets slammed violently. :-D

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.I've been finalizing a complete revamp of my Windows wrapper, which means four articles to make cohesive with each other, and several example programs which use the same code base. All of the programs are working correctly, and then I tried a feature that I know had worked in the past in one of the programs and I got an error message! Had to spend an hour to figure things out again! Uugh! Almost a mouse slam!

Right. It's like the nuclear reactor I accidentally created. It's just sitting in the garage generating energy but I'm afraid to get too close to it to shut it down or use it. :laugh: :laugh:

This never happens to me. 90% of the time I write a method I forget to write the code that calls it. So I have at least one redo every time. ha.

Haha! I've done that quite a few times too. It's like, "Why isn't that stupid function working? It's not even doing anything". Then :-O "Need to add a call to it."
