[HarryW]

I have no internal clock, I've been up coding till 8am a couple of times in the last week, I just sleep when I feel like sleeping, which is never the same time as the night before.

Oh, and happy happy birthday Harry, may the seed of your loins be fruitful in the belly of your woman.

[SteveCRM]

Me!!!!!!!!!!

Your the only person I know who can say that poetically sam!
happy birthday Harry!

[Zaphod64831]

It is now 1:19 where I live and I just finished a little Access programming. Now I'm going to move on to some VB programming.

Aah, the sweet smell of insomnia. Too bad I'm too tired to enjoy it.

[Zaphod64831]

BTW: Happy birthday Harry

You know you're old when your candles start costing more then your birthday cake!

Birthdays are good for you - the more you have the longer you live.

[parksie]

Harry will now be one year older .

And I've just woken up having had about 4 hours sleep

[HarryW]

Thanks guys, I am now officially one year older.

And for those of you wondering how old that makes me (I'm sure you're all just dying to know) I'm 19 today.

[parksie]

Question time: So, how was your first year as an adult?

[V(ery) Basic]

18? Adult? Piss-head more like

BTW Happy Birthday Harry!

Ok. Cakes ain't my speciality (as you can see it didn't rise properly, a bit like ... forget it)

Bye!

19. Hmmm. It's the first multi-digit non-palindrominal prime number, which when reversed creates a non-prime number.

That's something to tell at parties.

[Fox]

Me! I usually start coding at 11:00pm and work till 4-5.00am. (Only when I have holidays ) I cannot really write good code during the day

[SteveCRM]

19. Hmmm. It's the first multi-digit non-palindrominal prime number, which when reversed creates a non-prime number. how in the world did you figure that out?

[V(ery) Basic]

I got out my calculator...

[Sophtware]

Happy b day harry 19 ahh i remember 19 like it was last year..
oh DOH! (_8(|) it was last year..hehehe

and about the question about programming late....i usually stay up till 1:30am or 2:00am programming...even though i have to be in college the next morning @ 8:00am (cries)

Not enough sleep!!!
haha


See ya.

[Penar]

I work night shift, from 11pm to 8am. My position is not really a "Programer", I'm more like "The Backup Guy". But I code a lot to automate procedures, reports and making my shift easier... and yes, I also code just for the fun of it. I have found that at night, Im a lot more productive, as Im alone, I have no interuptions.

And what else I could do in my "Lunch Hour" (3am - 4am)

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

[Sam Finch]

It's 8:35 AM, and I'm still up coding.

[Cybrg641]

I usually get up at 11a.m. and go straight to my computer and go till about 3 a.m. With a few breaks in between.

[noone]

I find I'm more productive later at night, it usually takes a few hours before I'm done with all the distractions and acually get coding. And the desire to sleep will help push anything to the point where it will compile.

Checklist:
Knuckles cracked? Y
VB Running? Y
Plenty of drinks? Y

Right...time for some more coding!

[HarryW]

Who in their right minds would go out drinking, and as soon as they get back home dive into some VB coding? Not me, and even I'm not in my right mind You should be slumped in front of the telly, or looking at porn with your mates, or having cyber-sex with some girl, but as a first line saying "Uunngghhhh... ahhh was it good for you? *wipes knob on the curtains*"

Sorry if that was a bit crude for the more delicate viewers of this thread, I'm a bit pished. Probably regret it in the morning

Generally spend all day doing mods/fixing bugs/talking to clients and drinking coffee. From about 10p.m spend five to six hours in development, no interruptions, no phone calls, etc....then again have own company so get the benefits at some stage.

The day is only really there for specification development, and trying to pass on work to others
