Merry Christmas, Roger. Enjoy your break (and the ribs).
It's almost lunch time on Friday here so a few more hours and I too will be celebrating the end of a rather difficult year at work.

So I'm working with MySQL. First time in years. Don't much like the MySQL Workbench so I installed the TOAD freeware editor and it is fine though still a little heavy at times.
And then I recalled that I'd written a small app some years ago that would allow me to get a quick view of a schema and run some queries, amongst other things.
So I found a zip file that looked good and, lo and behold, out popped a working app and works pretty well.
So the next thing is to bring it up to date.
Can I find the source code? Can I hell. No idea what I did with it. The only saving grace is that it works and is usable. I can't be asked to re the thing so I guess I'll use it as is.
I just wonder where that damned code got to.

ILSpy can decompile it if you wrote it in .NET

I just downloaded JetBrains dotPeek[^]
Not only did it decompile; it saved it as a solution which I opened and built. No problem. Fabulous.

Yes, indeed, you are correct.

Much nicer than my epic reversing of a precompiled ASP.NET web site.

Chris Elston? His profile seems to be deleted, did I miss anything?
Oh, and by the way: Hereafter I am happy to get my well-deserved holidays, to finish final project #2 - Not that much free time for me - I won^t be here for a while, see you later next year.
Happy Holidays[^]

I said it to the colleagues when I left the office this afternoon.
I hope there will be enjoyement, but I doubt that there will be much to enjoy - I picked kind of a hard topic, maybe gonna make it an article when I find the time to translate ~100 pages to english.
Oh, and diagrams. Tons of class, sequence and use case diagrams.

I remember when I was young my aunt and uncle who helped raise me showed me one of her screw magazines. He must have been very young when he started.

Sir Pete's post gave this idea.
1. Become sincere. I have really become lazy. I spent good amount of time learning things a couple of years back and then thought as if I have conquered the World. Looking at my condition now, I stand no where. So get sincere. Not just with programming but with almost everything.
2. Save money. I have zero savings after close to 8 years of work. I have become insanely spendthrift.
3. Get fit. Thanks to Ingress[^] I have walked 90 KM in past 2 months. Other than that, nothing. Not those crazy muscle things but fit.
4. Learn to become politically correct/diplomatic (read lie and cheat). I don't want this but seems this is the in thing. It was and it always will. I am more than certain I will fail here.

I thinking about having another crack at Haskel. Or Scheme. I keep starting, re-covering the basics, then stopping. It's a bit like starting off with algerabra: I can see how it could be extremely powerful & interesting but not being capable of it yet. I need to think of a project that'll make use of it.

I started off with PHP, Ruby, Perl, Python. jQuery, Rails, HTML5, WPF and good old C++ last year. Spent a day and then forgot everything.
