I hacked away for a couple of hours today until it became obvious that I was flailing hopelessly. So I closed NetBeans and got out a notebook and pencil.
As soon as I did this it all began to come together. This often happens when you're coding—it isn't until you stop that you get an idea of the what it is that you should be doing. Of course, I know this, but I rarely use any of my knowledge.
Since my good idea [see my last post] I've been changing the architecture of the solitaire thingee. Somewhat of a silly thing to do without an entire new spec. When I started the thingee I did have a plan; but when you change said plan? Possibly a good idea to firm-up your concept of the new one? Not something that I did.
My trouble is that I play games [online Go at the present], you're not allowed to try things out, except inside of your own head; what I forget is that I spend rather a lot of my time being physical so that I can do the mental when it comes to games. Still I like to plan in the falible software of my head, despite knowing that this is an idiot thing to do.
That's why fags are important: you have to go outside; where you have to stop doing, and you have to think.

Only person who comments on my blags is a woman. This, of course, will end in divorce.

For those reasons, the useful reasons, I miss a good smoke.
Mat, yes.
Neon neo, am overrun with cabbages. You'd be most happy I suspect.
