IM with my fave sissy

discussing the RP on our next date. Litsters are SOOO good at this.
 
An anti-bug in the program I'm writing. Obfuscated to protect the guilty:

I'm writing a great big program that needs to do many things, including $FNORD.

Documentation says that the software I'm working with does not handle $FNORD. I test this on a very simple case where the only instruction is "do $FNORD" and I confirm that this doesn't work. I get an error message saying "this software can't do $FNORD".

So, I come up with a work-around that does $ALMOST_FNORD instead. It's a bit ugly and slow, but it's an adequate replacement for $FNORD. Fine and good.

Then one of my co-workers looks at the code and points out that instead of implementing the work-around, I actually did $FNORD instead. And it worked. Without any error messages. I checked the results and they're exactly what $FNORD should produce.

Went back and tried my test case again, and $FNORD still doesn't work there. Only when it's part of a bigger program that's doing lots of other things as well.

Co-worker and I stared at the code for an hour, couldn't figure out why it was working for this particular case. I've had a lot of "why isn't this program working?" moments, but this is my first case of "how can this program possibly be working?"
 
Tumblr deemed my pics of houses NSFW.

But I guess it's understandable, art noveau buildings can be really sexy.
 
As a wise man once said..."It's the freakin' weekend baby..."

Fist bump, r. kelly.

Going to visit Mr. Cookie and cookie with Necro tomorrow.
So happy!!!:heart:

I believe they've landed but, ummmmmmm, I think visiting me and mr. cook are about #5 on the list of things to do. :rolleyes:

Please give each other hugs from me. Also I know little m is not a snuggler but if she tolerates a pet will you pet once with love from me too ? ❤️

She might warm up for a full on look at you rather than a shady side-eye. We'll see. :cattail:



I know, right? Double yay!
 
My husband was wearing tights and shorts....he looked like a cross between a ballerina and a fighter. lol
 
Impromptu trips are always the best, even if it's just for a few hours. :)
