Cold Coffee

[Happy_Dude]

Ever had a problem that had you so baffled that your nice hot cup of joe turned ice cold while you where coding ?

[Tom]

yes. usually these turn out to be the most embarassing errors, like this one (not a coding problem, though): last night i was working on a self-made f16 cartridge (put it together on a breadboard). well. that beast simply didn't want to work. i checked all the connections, checked my schematic i'd drawn, everything was correct. so finally i thought that one of the parts must be defect. so i removed an inverter, looked at it a bit more close and...hmm...7474...huh ?...errr...that's not an inverter, that's a d-flipflop

Heck, that even happens on the mundane repetitive tasks...me being a hunt'n'peck typist and all. My coffee went flat just typing this, for example

LMAO. A good laugh and a new cup of coffee and I'm ready to go

 

In about an hour I'll give up again and be back here complaining about my next cold cup

Indeed. My current problem is soooo damn simple on paper. But just try to turn it into 6502 and it becomes rocket science

Doesn't even have to be a problem. I'm updating an app I haven't touched in almost 2 years, putting in some stuff I didn't have time to do back then. Goes like this...

 

Get up

Stretch

Make Coffee

Pour Coffee In Insulated Cup

Take To Keyboard

Start Coding

Try balancing a checkbook. No matter how careful I try, there's always an error of $0.01 somewhere. Once I lost $100 from my balance sheet and I still don't know how I missed that one. Every deposit and checks were accounted for but my bank said I had $100 more than what I thought I should have. Oh well.

ill sit at the computer and type away all day on this website and not know what time it is. So excuse me but I have to go cause my relatives should be coming over for an easter dinner.

No, I prefer tea. But my tea often gets, uhm... quite strong.

[Nukey Shay]

Tea is illegal here in the States...but early programmers used it quite often j/k

i have an extra large cup it holds twice as much as an average coffee cup and i get through a lot of coffee when i'm programming or working on websites the only problem is that after all that caffeine i get just a little hyper and talk a lot faster and start joining all my sentences together because i don't stop talking and i'll keep going and going until i start drooling and pass out [thud!]

[Nukey Shay]

Yikes!

 

Here...have some tea.

You know you've been programming the 2600 too long when you see a post about TEA and start thinking "Transfer E to A? There's no E register...?"
