    Guy gets multi-choice question "Which sport is the Scottish resort of Aviemore famous for?" wrong (he went for motor racing) and ends up in the red area.

    His question to get out the red area is:

    Penzance is in which English County?

    His answer (after some deliberation about thinking it's up North)

    Scotland.

      Went up there last summer. Beautiful part of the world, and nice and quiet in July. Not much good for skiing though.

        It's 22:18 and it's taken another two solid days on top of a couple of weeks previously but I don't care because I've done what 'they' all said couldn't be done.

        Not that it's going to make me millions, but I'm now the holder of an application which genuinely has a feature which no other does. My clients (future and present) are going to be very chuffed when I show (sell) them this!

            It seems to be 22:22 a lot more often than other times of day

              Might explain my constant tiredness (Or is that due to my inability to switch off whenever there's an engineering challenge to be conquered - anyone else find that?)

                Left the office around 6 on Friday with something half done - it was probably another two hours work, so I wasn't going to hang around for that long. I've mentally redesigned it 3 times since then - should have just finished the bloody job there and then.

                    I've been sitting here for twenty minutes, running the test suite over and over again while I try to work out how to do the refactoring I want to do.

                    So far, I've added a class that has one property and two methods, neither of which has any implementation. I just cut the property out, then put it back again. Then I went to change its name, but as the backspacing got to the first character I realised I had no idea what I was going to change it to, so I undid that.

                    But at least all the tests still pass

                    Might get an early night…

                      Ooops, just had an embarrassing facebook incident where I sent a "bereavement" message saying how great her recently deceased dad was to the wrong person...
