Yeah, I am really scared about programming. Not that I am afraid of writing out the code, but afraid whenever there’s accessed labs, mid term tests and exams. Questions, questions and questions! And all have the tendency to come at precisely the same time! And that really makes me think, hey, is that a relayed question?
Not that I don’t like to help. It just that, I am human. I have my own things to do at times. And things like debugging takes up lots of time. I cannot help all at the same time. And whenever there’s any of the activities listed above, I will take out my “priority queue”, put everyone into my “waiting list” and rank them according to my priority rules. Well… Do I need to write out the algo for that? I don’t think anyone will be interested to know anyway. And I don’t want to give April another chance to complain about being scared to visit my blog..
My rules? It’s classified.
And there’s one thing. Programming can hardly be discussed in a “quantized” environment (Agree? Quantized?). It has to be discussed in a “continuous” manner. I really, really dislike discussing programming online, unless circumstances do not allow any other way. I don’t like to wait for replies, and then people just paste chunks of code into the window, and I read them, and reply, and only to be shown with another chunk of code! I spend more time waiting, reading, and replying than doing what I wanted to do. And people spend more time waiting too, or do they just paste the code, and wait for me to reply while they go off and do something else?

Don’t treat me as a ??. Don’t treat me as a pro. And, don’t take me as a reference point for your level of understanding of the language. I am still quite lost in the last few lectures. I am still learning. I am still trying to clear my doubts. I am still trying to ask people for answers. I need answers. And I don’t have time to ask. Or rather, I don’t know what to ask, until I encounter the problem.
I wonder where have some of those really pro programmers gone to?

Now, my C++ book looks like a Christmas tree from the side… green, orange, yellow, and pink! Well… Looks colourful, that’s all I guess.
And who says I don’t need luck for PE? I need lots, and I think I have not been receiving them for quite some time. I have been giving them away like charity, and received none back (for programming, especially. Why everyone takes me as pro? I am not!). I was quite delighted when Ryan told me “good luck for PE” just now in the evening! I have not heard that 2 magic words for quite a long time. It just filled me with a kind of feeling, like a strong wind encouraging you to fly higher. Thanks! I need the luck. It’s great to be at the receiving end.
Ok, I shall not be too greedy. Let’s share…
And while I am typing the last few sentences of this posting, suddenly, I am very free. See? Internet discussion is very very quantized. Especially when the Z-monster is coming to pay a visit.
