Guest Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 1) make change 2) doesn't work 3) insert debugging echo statements 4) run and validate that the stuff is there, but still not working 5) remove echo debugging 6) go to humidor 7) pick cigar, go out snip and light it, get comfortable 8) jump up, put down cigar and go make the one-line fix I realized I screwed up on. Screws up my cigar smoking, but does save me loads of time not wasted trying to look at the code that I know is doing what I want (passing the right data, etc), but not doing it as I wanted it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 My personal favorite is having to go and view source, and then counting all the <table><tr><td><table><tr><td>.... and so on to find out why all of my columns explodeded all over the place. All because I forgot a </tr> somewhere or something. Apart from that....the = vs. == bug is one I seem to be quite fond of ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajeh Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Don'cha hate when updating a shop from one version to the next when you forget about the table structure field sizes changes you made ... Not once ... but twice ... :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Yeah, especially when you use Easy Populate and think all is well and the database chops things off and you now have 25 categories instead of 1...... and none of the product urls point to anywhere at all..... Change database table size, put BIG note on monitor :) [no external urls in signatures please, kthanks] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I just updated a client ... with said database changes ... and added in a bunch of quickie updates from the Shoppe Enhancement Controller ... so fun to peice out little things ... Snip of code from here ... Snip of code from there ... 8) And wouldn't you know? It made me realize I forgot to update the Review pages for the Shoppe Enhchancement Controller?! :shock: Now I know what they mean by ...

Guest Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 I find chocolate just as effective, if a little more calorific. I'm off for the biggest bar I can find, having just discovered after the whole weekend of fiddling with the code that I'd added the borders to the wrong place! :lol: So my little problem with the gap is now solved, and I can focus on all the other things that are still wrong............

orchard Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 I find chocolate just as effective, if a little more calorific.Now that's the true way to develop software, with lots of chocolate and Coke or Dr. Pepper. :) In olden times the men were made of iron and the ships were made of wood; now it's the other way around. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardsandwars Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 I find that sometimes I accidentally hit the 'FTP Save Button' instead of the 'FTP Open Button' so I end up overwriting the file I select with the file I last worked on. :shock: Luckily, I also back up frequently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit. If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.
