Re: [OT] A Fairy Tale About Running Water and LiveCode...
I live in the tropics so this story, brings me memories from a not so distant past. Books, shoes, clothes, carpets, boxes... anything that lies on the floor. :-(( Sadly enough, we are not getting enough rain this year... Hopefully it would not fall in a single week or day. :-(( The only time that I remember that I wake up with a solution for a task, was when I had to write a song for certain purpose. It was 3 or 4 am, when I woke and start walking around thinking why I am not sleeping. I saw the task on my desk and remember that I had to write a song for that. It just took me exactly two minutes to write the lyrics and two minutes more to sing the melody in a microcassete recorder. After that, I went to sleep again. :-D Al -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/OT-A-Fairy-Tale-About-Running-Water-and-LiveCode-tp3895556p3896388.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I feel for you, Andre… I've been there (well, mopping up flood waters, that is). I used to keep a mini tape recorder by the side of my bed so that if I woke up with a bug solution or idea that was good, I could record it and get it out of my head. Maybe an idea for next summer? ;D Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

[OT] A Fairy Tale About Running Water and LiveCode...
Folks, I worked till late yesterday. I think it was about 2:00 AM or 2:30 AM when I slowly moved myself from my workstation to my bedroom. I coded for so long because I was trying to fix a bug in some software and things kept breaking until even my cat meowed at me compelling me to go to bed. Rio de Janeiro summer rains are something that people from overseas are not familiar with. Rio can be 38C during the day and then, out of nowhere, lots and lots and lots of Rain will fall down. You can imagine something like the amount of water predicted for a month, falling from the sky in about one hour. At about 4:00 AM, I woke up with mixed fellings, I didn't knew if it was all the thunder, rain and wind that woke me up or the fact that I woke up with the solution for the bug. It was there, clear on my mind, what I was doing wrong was dead simple. I decided to wake up and go back to the computer to fix the damn thing so that I could sleep. Heavy thunder and rain outside. When I reached my little office space, I found that even though all my windows were closed, water was pouring down my building. I am on the 18th floor with no other tall building between me and the bay, the wind is very strong. All the windows of my house were closed but water was coming down from them thru AC cuts and badly designed aluminum frames. There was a small waterfall running on from the window to the cats litter box. There was water on the office almost near the computers. There was water on the floor of my bedroom but I switched from my japanese style bed to something so high that I almost need a stair to climb a month ago. Had I kept the japanese style bed, I would have felt the water earlier. I was kept awake containing the water until about 8:30. Cleaning stuff. I forgot the bug solution. I remember I had it for a while. The floor is dry though. -- http://www.andregarzia.com -- All We Do Is Code. http://fon.nu -- minimalist url shortening service. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
