well this is annoying
Jan. 26th, 2004 12:07 am...and it stopped just as I type this.
There was a car alarm going off for at least the last ten minutes. As long as the music was semi-loud you couldn't hear it, but when the volume dipped, there it was. Thank goodness it's done with.

Life advice in a coding manual
Jan. 26th, 2004 12:07 amFrom an advanced guide to programming ASP:
Chapter 7
Have a Nice Day
Turn your computer off. If you have a cell phone, take it out of your pocket and leave it at home. If it's nice out, consider going for a walk. If it's raining, you might go to a museum or a library or a coffee house. Visit a friend, or stay at home. If you see a baby, give it a big smile. If you run into someone you like, wish them well.
You don't have to do this for a whole day. You can do it for a few minutes in the morning or during any part of the day really. You can even do this a little bit every day. And even though it has nothing to do with writing code, if you take breaks regularly, you will probably end up writing better code. Go figure.
Oh, and that car alarm that stopped? It went back on again. Then it stopped. Now it's on again. Egad. And now it's off. Think it'll start again? Yep, it did. Thank goodness for crecendos in music.
