As some may know, im currently studying. I am working on my "final project" (I didn't find a better word since in Germany you have to write a professional dissertation (is this the correct word for a scientific report of what you've done or invented?) and i remember that this is not the case in other states?). Never the less im doing it at a company i used to work in free time, having a pretty damn good project to work on (basicly writing a MS Project that fits to Automotive SPICE), there is no software fitting to our purpose, thats why im doing my self.
But im going to get crazy, on the one hand i should work on that darn application, on the other i should write that scientific whatever. While we are deep in programming and doing it like its done in the real world, plans... f**k that we do it! (Well sort of, i made a concept that got approved) I should write down what i thought while programming, and scientifically (What/Why/How/...). Now im trying to recreate the cunstruct i had in my head before starting to program and try to explain why the heck i did it like that. I tink my design is good but why did i do it like that, because... well because! And whats even worse is that very important decisions i should explain got decided because the company said yep we do it like that.
Im basically writing here now cause i need a short break to reassemble my brain. Im hoping i get some more ideas of what to write down and how to explain it while reading any answers.
Still got 80 pages to go and barely three months left to write...
But a short question, anyone got an idea how to relief stress in an efficient way? ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

else

Have an orgasm.
(Sorry, can't find an appropriate emoticon)
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

10-20 minutes of very high intensity exercise should do it...

See, that's why I stick to fiction... When I'm in the middle of a novel, I can write 80 pages in a week. Non-fiction is just too annoying... Gotta research and fact check and blah blah blah... Fiction is great... It doesn't have to make sense, as long as it's internally consistent...

Name that book: It was time. Time to bring death down on herself, and to pray that the man really was who he claimed. Taking several deep breaths and readying herself, she slowly reached up and took hold of a leafy branch. A couple of the needle-thin thorns bit into her skin, but that was easily ignored.

It was, at first... I actually have about 15-20 copies of each of the first two in paperback. Trouble is, unless you go mass-market (Print runs of 10k+ copies), you have to do print-on-demand.
POD is like 3D printing versus an assembly line... It's slower and more expensive, but you can do one-offs. The price is the problem, since no one wants to pay $16 for a paperback fiction novel...
So when those didn't sell for a few years, I took them out of print, as they were costing me a little each year to keep them available. Never bothered going dead-tree with books 3 and 4, after seeing the lack of success with the first two.

Dissertation is the correct word to use for the report/project that you do at the end of a university course, usually carrying a significant proportion of the marks available - it does not have to be scientific. My daughter has just submitted her dissertation on copyright exemptions in the EU for her Masters degree in International Business Law.

An unlicensed tattooist who inked a 13-year-old girl has been given an eight-month suspended jail sentence.
Jackson Rowsell charged the girl £20 and sprayed her skin with what appeared to be Jack Daniel's whiskey before inking an "amateurish" design.
[...]
A description of the tattoo was not disclosed by the council for fear of identifying the child.

But that's exactly what sailors are out looking for, when they're on leave, so he should do well in Pompey.

...and whiskey, and a bad tattoo.
And the STD of your choice, obviously.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm surprised he used JD, I mean when you're obviously scrimping on everything else then why use one of the most expensive Whiskeys?

He's 19; he snuck it from the cupboard in the living room.

If you consider JD "one of the most expensive Whiskeys", you wont be short of things to marvel at next time you venture outdoors.
I looked at a bottle of Royal Salute the other week for AUD $206,000 (the empty hand-made, diamond encrusted bottle costs an estimated $50,000 to make)
Though to be fair - it's for posers. It's 'just' 48 yr old **blended** whiskey from Chivas Regal.

Perhaps I should have added "one of the most expensive Whiskey Widely available" for the more pedantic of you out there

A year back, I asked people here if Kindle experience is better than reading a real book. Majority said Kindle is better when you get to use it regularly.
Well after a year of reading experince in Kindle, I still not getting a hang of it.
Honestly it has made my travel reading little pleasant when I want to read some fiction as I dont have to carry heavy books but at home and office, technical books are not so pleasant.
Am I a minority or Kindle experience with technical books is still good?
cheers,
Super

I try not to use the Kindle app on my phone, app on my PC (& tablet) for the same reason I don't really like on line documentation. While searching is easier I prefer a book for reference as when I throw a phone at the wall the phone disintegrates Seriously the images in Kindle are not up to the quality needed (I'm an Electronics guy) some books are poor and on a Kindle copy illegible. Kindle quick, searchable. Dead wood legible. My two penny worth.
