drbyte's Journal: How much can you do in a day?

So, can we just code and code and code in a day? It all started at about 1am yesterday. I started coding for a Perl prac - some recipe system. Wrote most of the code, and zonked out.

Go to the prac class, debug it, found out my code didn't work for everything. Fine, modify, and it worked. Thats Perl for the day. Come home and get greeted by some C coding.

Not any C coding. Some C code, where we're meant to modify some code by our lecturer. The code is just horrendous - now I will learn to comment my own code from now on. Heck, I couldn't even figure out how to compile the freaking thing! Everytime I compiled a file, or even just made object code out of it, the linker would complain of some error, or missing function. The code out of the box was broken.

Nevermind, I think I still finished it and we'll see how the results show up... Its 2am now, I will hand this in at 10am, and I got back at about 1am from a couple of drinks with some friends. How fun.

But that wasn't all the coding I managed to do today. I was productive! I wrote an IMEI decoder in Perl as well, over tea, with Handera and keyboard at the park. Now, all I need are the first 8 digits of all you guys IMEI numbers. No security hazard for you, just punch *#06# and give me the first 8 digits. Its rather simple.

Besides, I'll add you to a contributors list or something. Now, I've got to slap the code up somewhere... Watch this space for more =)
