Worst and most anoying coding interuption is the need to pee.
First you ignore it, but suddenly it starts to hurt.

To all the leaders out there: Stop doing all shit on your own! Delegate! Have fate in your colleagues!
And fuck all shitty deadlines if no lives are at stake.
Cz yours is for sure!

...or you'll end like me with a heart attack at the age of 43.

Now i'm here at a health-care-hotel (dunno what it's called in english) for 3 weeks relaxing and doing programming w/o being stressed at all. =)

migrating production db... What else can you do at midnight?

Coolest thing i've built solo? I think it's my 3D snake multiplayer game.

It all started with a simple 2D snake game to teach programming basics at community college. Then i added a multiplayer mode based on a simple UDP implementation. Then i wondered how it would look ike in 3D and i had the idea to figure out how to implement a 3D engine by myself and i dove into the maths and wrote a simple 3D engine based on a windows forms picture box.
I showed the game to my colleagues and the loved it and we played it a lot.
So i added special mode boosters, and sound and map events and obervermode and observer polls.... you know it.

Here's a little collage of the journey...

*knock knock*
..."wait a second! I'm just at my computer!"
FBI: "yes we know"

Found this site today and want to share it. Algorithms explained Ikea style.

sounds logic, ..does it?

git commit -m "session now holds 'null' as date if equals today. This way a 'today' is always possible, even if yesterday was today and today is now the tomorrow from yesterday"

original german git message: "session hält 'null' als date, wenn gleich heute. So ist ein 'heute' immer möglich, auch wenn gestern heute war und heute mittlerweile das morgen von gestern."

Who finds the startrek reference?

Developed my own programming language to teach programming at community college.
I needed an easy to learn language with as few brackets as possible cz these caused the most problems for beginners. Called it robocode. =)
Then i built an IDE around it where you have to program a little sheep to eat all gras in an area. The goal was to teach how to learn the syntax, the libary, debugging and to "see" the code run while the program and the little sheep runs, ..halt the programm, inspect variables, check the positions on the grass, ...i think you get the picture.
Later i built another IDE where you can program a Tetris.

robocode now also powers the calculation in our buisness application.

...i think thats my most successful project so far.

here's a screenshot of the RoboSheep IDE (be nice, it's a few years old) and the links to the download sites. I'm sorry, it's all german cz i never localized it.

not funny. true story. not funny! NOT!

!rant we have a xmas-consumption here in germany where we put some sweets into the shoes of the kids in the night from 5th to 6th december. it's called Nikolaus. ...well that's what i got from my daughter. =) ...she's the best!

that moment, ...when your cat jumps on your keyboard while coding und you quickly open notepad to see whats she gonna tell you...

cat: ">Asbaw5nz 35im63g fs gha weasd fafhtdj"

..oookay, ..and how do i compile this?

Placed a hidden flying unicorn as easteregg in our last business app. My boss stumbled across it and told me: "make it that all users can see it more easily without using the secret gesture."

...but ..it's an easteregg! .. :facepalm:

WTF is wrong with with you VS?!111 I only updated these efing NuGet packages and my whole project goes down the toilet? Don't tell me these files are not there!! THEY ARE!!!! I SEE THEM!!!
...ohh i forgot, my fault! these files in my packages folder are the new ones and YOU STILL WANT THE OLD FILES BECAUSE YOU FORGOT TO UPDATE YOU FUCKING PROJECT FILE!

worst dev tech ever for me was intel x86 assembler. I developed on motorola 68k before and i loved it. x86 was horror.

saves lots of time.

mind-controlled interface, so i don't have to use mouse & keyboard.

10 minutes for a reboot!? and then this. Fuck you Windows!

git commit -m "weekend, in the middle of fucked up!"

...5 minutes ago per ssh on the productivity server...

"ok, let's delete this old test directory ..."
*types rm -r www*
....*thinking* ...*realising* ... "FUUUUUCK!!11"
*quickly types git clone gitadress"
*checks website* "phew!"

!rant
wow! Just found an old js book from 1999! ...and there was a list w/ searchengines in the appendix.
..check this out!

still using windows forms w/ c# for desktop programs.

yeah. This I admit is true. I'm a nerd.

I'm so excited about the new PhpStorm version! <3
