November Debug

By on November 7th, 2017 in Geekery, Just Saying ...

Today started out cloudy, with rain forecast starting tomorrow. Overnight low of 29F, current temp is 45F, with just a little wind under 5mph.

Continued work on the programming bug that has been vexing me for the past 4 days. Found the error finally with some help from a programming forum, although I still don’t understand why the program worked on one site but not another. Adding a new feature to the program as long as I am fixing the bug.

Reminds me of when I first got a computer, way back in the dark ages of 1982. It was one of the original IBM PC’s, and I’d spend hours goofing around with BASIC programs, staying up way later than I should. I’d get a program working by late evening (maybe 11pm), and then I’d decide to add ‘just one more feature or tweak’. So I would work on that enhancement, and it would be 2pm before long.

Hoping that doesn’t happen here, although I don’t have to get up as early as I used to.

Did all the laundry today, plus a trip to the recycle bins to drop of the weeks worth of boxes and stuff that accumulates with all of the things that keep arriving on my doorstep – almost always a new scrapbook thing that Pam has ordered.
