To Do lists.

When I saw your name replying to my message, I thought here is somebody with a good solid germanic name, they will most certainly be in full support of me :-) But No :(( I was wrong. Maybe you are only of germanic heritage and not a German person of Europe, I don't know. It is wrong for me to make assumtions of a persons work ethics or to generalise based on there names. So I apologise. But you Klaus are the opposite of what I know of German engineering, Germans bulid machines that work and work well, they are famous for this, even though the same machines are well over engineered and often ugly. German people do not have lists that they work to, they work, they get things done. Everywhere you go in Germany all the machines work, not like France for example ! I see, I will never convince you, not with your lists, I am surprised you replied to my message and didn't put it on another to do list. I sincerly hope you and your iPaq with its lists will be happy. BTW: Do you know Cinda Hallman at all ? Regardz Colin J Davies

Colin, But No I was wrong. Er, could it be that you hate the people who force the lists upon your hapless person, rather than the lists themselves? Have you analyzed this aversion of yours before posting to the Lounge? Noooo. Maybe you are only of germanic heritage and not a German person of Europe, I don't know. 50% German, 50% Mexican (2nd generation French-Spanish). It is wrong for me to make assumtions of a persons work ethics or to generalise based on there names. So I apologise. That's... OK...? But you Klaus are the opposite of what I know of German engineering, Germans bulid machines that work and work well, they are famous for this, even though the same machines are well over engineered and often ugly. German people do not have lists that they work to, they work, they get things done. Everywhere you go in Germany all the machines work, not like France for example ! Sniff. You are truly a poet Colin :) This is a truly moving tribute to my distinguished ancestors. If only they could rise out of their musky graves and take up MFC... I see, I will never convince you, not with your lists, I am surprised you replied to my message and didn't put it on another to do list. Oh, that's OK, I had time! I sincerly hope you and your iPaq with its lists will be happy. We shall keep you updated in our progress :laugh: ___________ Klaus [www.vbbox.com]

Hope you are convinced No No NO, To do lists are terrible things that I believe should be used as little as possible. When I go to the Supermarket Mustafa, I never make a shopping list. I go to the supermarket and I buy things if I forget something it only teaches me that I should be more thoughtful. If I write a class that interacts with another class, I do it, I don't write a to do list. If I were to forget something whilst doing it, It shows me that I don't really know what I am doing and must improve my knowledge and skills ! Hope you are convinced;P ;P ;P Regardz Colin J Davies

Well, if programming is as simple as shopping you are COMPLETELY right. ;) But I dont think that circulating around a 40,000 line code would be as easy as buying some corn-flakes in a supermarket :(( Also, if you forgot to buy your corn-flakes, you can eat some cheese for the breakfast. But this is not the case for my classes (may be your classes are clever enough to cover your mistakes, but mine are just dubm classes) ;P ;P ;P Kind regards Mustafa Demirhan

Klaus, I found this truly amazing search engine called Google ? :-) I typed in Spherion Cinda Hallamn :-) and it gave me this link http://www.itworld.com/Career/1918/CWD010411STO59519/ Amazing thing search engines, Now I remember thats why I don't need an address book! :-) Then I typed in Spherion Klaus Probst and it gave me this link http://www.vbpj.com/upload/free/features/vbpj/2001/bg0104/dat0104/dat2_0104.asp And I find out you are a published chap, Well done even if you are a to do list chap. So I then typed in the box Spherion Technology Architects and it gave me this link http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Spherion+Technology+Architects&btnG=Google+Search Same company ! (amazing thing these searh engines) Must be a big company with lots of meetings and To DO lists and you never get to meet anyone, :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

I hate To Do lists, Don't you, what point are they ! If you have got to do something do it, don't waste your time putting it on a to do list, then measure your performance doing the lists items. I suppose some of you work in larger organisations that insist on having such meaningless time wasting things. Have you ever thought why you or your team has a to do list? I'm sure it's one of two things, the first being that haven't done what you should have already completed, so you are obviously unorganised, or the second reason being that your project manager noddy or middle management insists on retaining there respective employment. Eg if they didn't keep you disorganised they wouldn't have an excuse for a job. Next time you have contact with an organisation and you mention an implentation or function of there product or service, and they respond "Its on our to do list". Think to yourself what blo*dy use is it on a to do list, if it's a good idea implement the blo*dy thing don't write it down on a useless to do list and then have unproductive meetings about what should be done on the to do list and in which order. The to do list mentality is so stupid that you would think an MBA had created it ! Bug lists are just as bad, if your application has a bug, well stupid you for writing a buggy application. And if you have to fix buggy code "fix it" don't go to all the unneccessary work of documenting the bug and finding blame for it, and then taking it to a useless project manager who'll hold a meeting about the bug. The best thing is if you get sacked (pink slip) for following my advice you'll have more time to post in the lounge at CodeProject, or worse your sacking will probably just end up on your PM's to do list anyhow, so you haven't got much to worry about. :-) Thats my 2 cents that you didn't ask for, so consider yourself richer! :-) Warning Flame me publicly if you flame me privatly, I'll just post it in the lounge, OK.

The real benefit of a ToDo list for me is when I am in the middle of a project or demanding task and I get requests from various people to do this or that. Things which I cannot do at the time of asking and things which are sure to be forgotten unless I put it on a to do list. Bigger issues should be in the project plan, not on a to do list. Warning Flame me publicly if you flame me privatly, I'll just post it in the lounge, OK. We should publish their names and yell Aussie, Kiwi, South African humour all day at them. hehe and yes I do do project management so yes I like to do lists and unorganised developers ;) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

I get enough Spam without worrying about Flames, 3 indecipherable Chinese Spam messages every day now :mad: not that I have anything against Chinese but I can't tell if they are giving me a tech update or selling medicine to make my old fellow grow, :-) Back on topic, Oh I don't understand your message, there's something missing in the grammer. (or maybe its me) Responding to flames privatly is a waste of time, I'd much prefer to be held up to public ridicule and post in public with my full name. :-) Interesting enough programming use to be sequential just like a To Do list.

Well, if programming is as simple as shopping you are COMPLETELY right Food for thought :-) But I dont think that circulating around a 40,000 line code would be as easy as buying some corn-flakes in a supermarket Glad to hear you like cornflakes also :-) Also, if you forgot to buy your corn-flakes, you can eat some cheese for the breakfast. Hey we have agreement I lke cheese to ! :-) our opinion are not so far apart after all. But this is not the case for my classes (may be your classes are clever enough to cover your mistakes, but mine are just dubm classes) Ok now we disagree first of, I believe you misspelt "dumb" as "dubm", I won't be pendantic about it since I'm not your English teacher, but never the less it is a syntax error and your code will not compile if you do that. I don't know your classes so I can't make a comparrison with mine, and I admit to making mistakes and doing some real bad code production at times (quite often actually). But i believe Mustafa my fellow brother coder that you are missing my point entirely. When you have something to do, do it, don't spend your life procrastinating about it. Maybe you should consider just doing the documentation first to make your life simpler. Don't worry at all first whether your application will run. What I'm really against Mustafa, is the to do lists that are held from one day to the next or which reach a project managers desk. Of course it's easier to do tasks in sequence. But wouldn't you like to do your job and then have fun for the rest of the day, like the expression, "Play hard, work hard". Unfortunatly I believe the institution of to do lists these days, now has meant that programmers are always working or attending meetings. Rather than getting the job done. So often we buy on emotion and then justify our decisions unfortunatly with logic. :-) Have a good day or night, whatever your timezone ! Regardz Colin J Davies

HiYall, I'm new to this forum.. lovely! Colin, thanks for giving Sonork a try ;) I *agree* with you in the sense that the NEW version should NOT be released along with a "TO-DO" list that includes bugs... When I release a new version of Sonork, I test it, bend it, break it, fix it, hit it, until I'm sure there aren't any bugs.. but then.. some user runs Sonork on WinME in a Linux emulator inside an Excel cell embedded in a Word document inside a webpage and kaboom!.. he finds a new bug. The to-do list then, comes AFTER the product version is on the air and BEFORE the fix is available.. in other words: Its only intention is to: a) Tell the others: "Please stop reporting this bug.. I know about it and I'm fixing it" b) Tell yourself: "This bug has X priority" AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: c) You _MUST_ attach the "bug report" to the _OLDER_ version of the source code - so when you (or your team members) re-use the code or revert to a backup, you/them are aware of the bug on that version. That's all.. where do I get cofee around here? Sonork ID: 0.2
