Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 05:57 AM

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.

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?

**Atheist** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 06:02 AM

first vote ooh yeah

since im not familiar with russin roulette c0ding...I choose "I dont know"
How stressed are you on a scale from 1 to 10

I'd definitly be a 10

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 06:06 AM

Russian roulette

No, I'd say I am at about a 6 level of stress.

Tick, tick, tick, ...

**Arrow_Raider** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 06:24 AM

I write papers that way, but never code that way

**si_the_geek** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 06:24 AM

Boom?

**thegreatone** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 06:26 AM

YEah, i've coded like that before... Usually essays i do like it though

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 06:36 AM

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

47 pages on just a Bar Code!

Just give me what I need to know and I'll be done with it.

I like to say "If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done"

That sounds like a good quote to me.

1 hour 11 minutes left.

**Shuja Ali** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 06:53 AM

Although I have never used this way of c0ding but now I guess I'll start with it right away.

STOP Posting, get c0ding

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:03 AM

I can only figure out most of the specifications so far.

They have so much crap like theres no tomorrow.

22 out of 27 fields mapped.

Post, post, post, post.

There is no other way to code a project, is there??

**NoteMe** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:08 AM

Does anyone really code their projects anymore??? I just cut and paste from all the good c0d I find in CC...

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:11 AM

Cut and paste this!

VB Code:

Messagebox.Show("Meow.NET!", "Good c0d", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)

**NoteMe** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:16 AM

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..

**Shuja Ali** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:17 AM

That c0d gives errors.

Is this Da Vinci c0d??

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:17 AM

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"

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:18 AM

**NoteMe** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:18 AM

You should make a tube right into your blod. There is an Firefox extension for that you know..

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:19 AM

I think I'll start working on an IE plug-In instead.

**NoteMe** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:23 AM

You will never finish your project in time then. You NEED Fx..

**sevenhalo** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:27 AM

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."

**szlamany** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:30 AM

Yes!

Since I'm always working on a dozen projects at once there simply aren't enough "last minutes" to help me anymore

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 07:59 AM

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!

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.

**NoteMe** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:03 AM

You didn't have to stress that much then if you have 3 minutes left. What a waste..

**thegreatone** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:04 AM

You should have added skinning support and an mp3 player in thos espare minutes. Would have gone down much better.

**sevenhalo** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:06 AM

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.

**penagate** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:11 AM

Deadlines? I know no deadlines.

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:16 AM

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

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.

**thegreatone** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:22 AM

Good luck, you've got a few more hours to catch me up though yet Rob

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:27 AM

Well I'm sure you will fall asleep before me.

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.

Then I can sleep.

**thegreatone** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:29 AM

Haha, been going about 30 hours straight now!

**penagate** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:37 AM

I usually conk out after about 36-odd. Someday I will get to 48 hours straight

**RobDog888** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:41 AM

Well Im going on 46.5 hours with only 3 hours sleep.

I think thats right? I just know 3 hours since Wednesday morning.

**sevenhalo** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 08:43 AM

Sleep is overrated. Ecspecially since we have a plethora of pharmecuticals to replace it.

**NoteMe** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 09:17 AM

I just think I found a proof that says that I do the same...

http://vbforums.com/showpost.php?p=1842613&postcount=77

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

**wossname** · Jun 2nd, 2006, 01:12 PM

Good coders, like good lovers, always finish late.

Sadly my code is often too fast and prompts phrases like "oh, did it finish already?".
