    hm, think that's how it worked...

    while(IsTrying(Olli))
    {
     if(IsOlliInWater() && IsSailInWater())
      {
         try{
         MoveOlliOnBoard();
         MoveSailUp();
         }
         catch(TwoIsOneTooMuchException* e)
         {
           e->MoveBothBackToWater();
           e->Delete();
         }
       }
    }
    

    and there were alot of exceptions...

          OK OK, after the beer question and the breakfast question, there is one thing that I am really intrested in: What hobbies do CPians have (exept beeing a CPian of course ;) ...) ??? My main hobby is beeing a firefighter, and when I look at the time I spend on our station, it's more than a hobby.... Another thing is making videos (producing semi pro documentation like my wedding.. :rolleyes: ) So, what do you do in your spare-time?

                          Really, a firefighter? My father used to be the chief at a volunteer fire station and from what I can remember, it's a pretty cool job. Things I do in my spare time: When I'm by myself: 1. Surf the net 2. Play video games 3. Watch television or videos 4. Running 5. Weight lifting 6. Programming (of course:)) 7. Sleep!!! When I'm hanging out: 1. All but 1, 6, and 7 above 2. Golf and other sports 3. Movie theatre 4. Grotto (college bar) 5. Barbeque 6. Road trips Hmm, my post is getting a little long so I guess I'll stop here.:) Brad Jennings "You're mom is nice. Mind if I go out with her?" - Jörgen Sigvardsson

The breakdown in communications between the generations happen when you forget why you hated what your parents said as a child, or, worse, you remember and decide it needs saying anyway. Even if you just know that your children won't learn other than by experience, you just can't resist telling them... Debbie

                                    That's correct, but do you really think I waste a single second of my life? Half the time I post on CP I'm joking. OK, so you will say you can't know one way or the other when I'm joking and when I'm not. To that I say DUH! ;P I think you need to get a little less serious in life. :)

Even at my tender 23 years I am becoming aware of the rightness of things I thought were silly as a child.

                                      To quote Mark Twain (I think) "When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.' - General William Sherman, 1879

                                          My spare time is spent contemplating life, the universe and everything - usually whilst laid on the sofa, eating junk and watching sports. ;-) Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine.
