i used to have a selection of about 30 teas handy,

what caffiene i get comes from chocolate.

Coffee gives me a belly ache and makes me jittery weird.
Tea and Cocoa, no problem. I even find Tea helps me sleep
before bed time. Interesting how all of us vary.



Coding? No wonder you love to garden. When I code,
it warps my brain for about a half hour after I stop.
Maybe I should retire to the garden settle out. (A
good cup of Orange Pekoe works really well too.)

coding is very easy to me once i can get uninterrupted
time

I have to pick a time when the phone is quiet. Otherwise
I turn into a real Mr. Cranky Pants.

(when i was at the university i worked full-time as a
programmer and also most of my course work was programming
-- 70-100hr weeks weren't unusual).

Been there. Total burn out. Wish I had never done it.

around here there is
very little of that so i don't get very far too often on
projects and once i get pulled aside for something it may
take me a week or two before i can get back to it.

nothing i'm coding now is paid work or even all that
important. i'm at a point where i'm trying to find
what i want to do next but haven't found it yet. i might
be getting close though with recent thoughts i just have
to figure out how to do it and then get on with it. we'll
see what happens.

20+ years ago I coded tons in Modula2. Now I mainly code
in BASH for myself and sometimes for a customer with
a Linux machine. Sometimes I will code in Windows batch
for customers (what a nightmare language).

I wrote and maintain a sweet batch rotator for Cobian Backup
that I use all the time. Finds backup drives by their label
and has the fastest mass directory deleter I have ever seen.

Someday, someday, I will learn Perl.

Just some trivia, if you have ever done any bash programming,
this is how to find the revision number of a Windows exe program
in Linux:

$ wine FileVer.exe mbam-rules.exe | awk '{print $5}'
