Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
I have 2 hours and 02 minutes left before the deadline on a high profile project (its 3:58 am) and I have probably written just over 50% so far. Up all night and only wrote a few lines of c0d. I think I just like the challenge of it all or perhaps I just dont want to work on this project. :lol:
I am on my third large cup of coffee, made a few midnight snacks (Mmmm), posted on VBF (probably about 5 posts), paid some bills on-line, and have made little effort to write any c0d.
Do you guys ever get a project that you c0d like this?

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
first vote ooh yeah :bigyello: since im not familiar with russin roulette c0ding...I choose "I dont know"
How stressed are you on a scale from 1 to 10 :D I'd definitly be a 10
:thumb:

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Russian roulette
No, I'd say I am at about a 6 level of stress. :D
Tick, tick, tick, ... :lol:

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
I write papers that way, but never code that way

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
YEah, i've coded like that before... Usually essays i do like it though :lol:
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
I do notice that when I write c0d for vbf members I have no problems doing it. But give me a project that has specifications like a freaking NASA mission and :mad: 47 pages on just a Bar Code!
Just give me what I need to know and I'll be done with it. :D

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
I like to say "If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done" :D

That sounds like a good quote to me.
1 hour 11 minutes left.

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Although I have never used this way of c0ding but now I guess I'll start with it right away. :D

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?

There is no other way to code a project, is there?? :eek:
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Does anyone really code their projects anymore??? I just cut and paste from all the good c0d I find in CC...
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Cut and paste this!
VB Code:
Messagebox.Show("Meow.NET!", "Good c0d", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
:D
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
If I where you, I would defragmentate my memory. You have too much **** on your hands, and take too little respnsebility. This is serious. You don't just post crap in CC. Someone could search for code in CC and find yours, and copy paste it. As I see it, this is the end of the world..:(
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
That c0d gives errors. :(
Is this Da Vinci c0d??
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
3 fields left to map and only 44 minutes left. This time also includes transmitting the mapped fields via my FTP (APIs) code procedure.
Starting to run out of coffee. Be back. Going to make my 4th cup. :eek"

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
You should make a tube right into your blod. There is an Firefox extension for that you know..;)
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
I think I'll start working on an IE plug-In instead. :p
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
You will never finish your project in time then. You NEED Fx..:)

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
I love coding this way. Every now and then I get that request that needs to be done ASAP.
"Derrick, we need to have this changed before the markets open tomorrow. The producers and board are getting upset; we can't wait any longer."
"What time do the markets open?"
"9am tomorrow. So you should have plenty of time..."
"I'll get on it tomorrow... 8am sharp."
It's usually followed by a sick look of disgust with every orifice on their face trying to scream "don't you take your job seriously, this had better work!!" Instead, they're choked back with tears and sweat. Some are so suffocated, they redden and pulsate as fear disperses the blood in their veins leaving it with no place to go but the surface. Since the body cannot run on fear alone, the lungs start overpowering the heart in hopes to recover. This fruitless attempt produces nothing more then violent seething. If this person didn't have a family history of heart problems; you have just altered their genetics.
"Make it 8:30am."

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Yes!
Since I'm always working on a dozen projects at once there simply aren't enough "last minutes" to help me anymore :D
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Finished with 3 minutes to spare!!!!
That is unless there is a time sync variance. I think I got it FTP'd by 8 am CST as its a 2 hour time difference.
wOOt! :D Now I can start posting on VBF as soon as I send an email to them for a follow up.
I'm burning out and getting tired. The coffee isnt working as good as it was last night. :(
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
You didn't have to stress that much then if you have 3 minutes left. What a waste..:D
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
You should have added skinning support and an mp3 player in thos espare minutes. Would have gone down much better.
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Drink yerba. Lots of antioxidants; helps you break down the caffeine or something. :)
Or green tea. I usually have 1 to every 3 cups of coffee I drink.
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Deadlines? I know no deadlines.

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Email sent to the big brass at my client and Boeing.
Waiting for phone to ring (its 6 am where I am at) about how fantastic of a job I did :lol:
I also added transmittal logging/support in an Access form/report solution. Maybe one year they can upgrade to 2003. Then I can use VSTO 2005 and include XP theme support.
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Good luck, you've got a few more hours to catch me up though yet Rob ;)
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Well I'm sure you will fall asleep before me. :D
I have some other things to do today like wash my car before the sun comes out and heats up. Also, go out tonight and play poker and have a few beers. :D
Then I can sleep.

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Haha, been going about 30 hours straight now!

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Well Im going on 46.5 hours with only 3 hours sleep. :(
I think thats right? I just know 3 hours since Wednesday morning. :confused:
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Sleep is overrated. Ecspecially since we have a plethora of pharmecuticals to replace it.
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
I just think I found a proof that says that I do the same...:D

Only 4 hours of sleep in 3 days is nice going..:)

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Good coders, like good lovers, always finish late. ;)
Sadly my code is often too fast and prompts phrases like "oh, did it finish already?".
:D

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Good point :p
I'm still up, writing an email actually... Taking so long bcause the words i wanna write will, erm... Yeah. Let's not go there on the grounds of... umm... yeah, nevermind. an email :)
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
You're still coherent. You have wakefulness left in you yet.

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
True, i seem to have come alive with the addition of hot chocolate! Sugar rush i guess...

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
I tend to chuck down Red Bulls, which has little effect save for further increasing their profit.
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Are you sending the person who i think you're talking about an email about something you're not so subtley suggesting?
If you are, then I'd pass... Until you're a littlre more rested and clear headed.

You where probably making donuts the ugly way...;)

Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Man, you folks who do this for a living are getting all burned out. When I get some actual coding project to work on, I pick a good weekend and a few evenings, and get right to it. That boosts the leave for the summers walkabout (which starts in just over a month this year).
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
"summers walkabout "??? All I can see is "summer of code"...ehh..no ehh..."summer of love"...
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Only covering about 400 miles this summer, but taking a good long time to do it. There'll be some really scenic ridge walking, some really dull road walks, and hopefully, no encounters with the Griz.
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Alone? I really like to go alone. It gives me plenty of time to think. Something you don't get in a stressing city environment these days. We are going to Annecy, a bit outside chamonix (france), about one hour from Geneva on sunday. Starting at 700m, going to about 3200. Wish me luck. I still lack two ligements..:) First real try after the accident...:)
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
That's pretty serious. Course, it's just a matter of attitude. My personal best was covering 1,100 miles on a broken foot. Actually, after two months of that, the bone had healed.....just not quite straight.
Yeah, this trip will be seriously alone. Not all that good really. After a certain length of time, I start craving company, and this route is seriously untraveled. However, there was a TV show on it a few months ago. I didn't see it, but everybody was asking me if I was going to finish the trail, as I would be the first person to do so since it was first laid out twenty years ago. There's a reason for that, it's might remote. Last summer, when I covered the first 600 miles, I spent weeks without ever talking to anybody (except the darn deer, and I was just cussing at them because they kept waking me up).
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
OMG, did you have to break it up again? Or is it still bendt? My right foot is bendt after an accident on the basket course. Ruined my football intrest totaly. But "Becham" foot became "the ball over in totaly wrong direction" foot. Gave up starting over again to be good at cross balls.
I see what you mean by getting bored after a while. But I bet that if after a week you suddenly got a mate there. Then you would think it was fun for 2 hours. Then get irritated that he did not walk fast enough, or wanted too many breaks, or the other way around. I like to be my own lord on the mountain. I always bring pen and paper, so I can write down my thoughts. My watch I always leave home, and cell phone is turned off (not that it works many places in the Norwegian mountain anyway). And then I just enough glaciers, big mountains, fjords, rain dears, and all sorts of things I walk by. In Norway you can go a week or two without finding civilization. So then bathing naked in ice water is a really nice thing to do in the morning. Really wakes you up...:)
Ohhh, and the next best sound in the world after my PCs fan....the sound of going into the tent after it is dark and put on your "stove" (is it called that?), the sounds of it makes me want to live for ever...
-
Re: Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?
Two of my toes slightly overlap, that's the only result, so no big issue.
I also carry pen and paper. Actually ran out of ink last summer in the middle of the woods. I was really unhappy about that. I thought it would be a week before I got anywhere where I might find another pen. Then I found some folks working on a cabin along a remote river, and they gave me a pen. That was pretty convenient.
Didn't carry a cell phone, as there would have been coverage for only a couple of days out of the 39 that I was out. However, I got up on top of a high mountain and met a gal who was the fire lookout up there. She had a cell phone, and actually got coverage. I couldn't figure out where the tower was, because we were a looooooong way from any town that had coverage. I can only figure the tower was on top of a peak, but the nearest potential location seemed like it had to be over 100km distant. She also cooked me lunch, which was REALLY nice.
Don't know what stove you mean. My stove is utterly silent (assuming you are talking about something to cook food on) and weighs about 1.1 ounces. Nothing better than reaching camp by a mountain lake with a light breeze blowing and trout rising.
