I have to say, that MindManager looks not that bad. I haven't used it much yet, but I think it could be a nice tool too.

Not a unique problem except when you have to do it and you seem to understand it. You will do it! Press on.

Hi All,
I am having fun (for me) working on developing a temperature monitor for some bits of kit we have that don't have one, Crack the knuckles, Design the PCB & write the code for the PIC in C on Notepad++... No Intellisense, no way of quickly checking syntax programming like it was meant to be!

Notepad++ is a luxury editor. You should use vi instead.

No, use Punched Cards (without an interpreter) or paper tape. I have an 8-pin paper tape holder complete with a pin for punching the holes individually that you can borrow. I got it after I used to make my own by cutting strips of paper and using different size knitting needles for the data holes and the sprocket holes.

Well done! You are Yorkshireman #2. Still waiting for the next two

Actually, it is true! That is really how I wrote my first program.

I didn’t doubt it. My comment just intended to be funny  .
I built my first punched tape reader from pieces of PCB welded together with solder. It had 9 LEDs and photodiodes for each channel and the sprocket hole was used as clock. You pulled the tape manually through the thing. A beautiful contraption

Probably the last time someone saw an update that actually really solved a problem.

I simply can't imagine how I used to do programming without Intellisense. Then again, my office used to have several thick reference books that were always open and printouts of tech sheets on the hardware and microprocessors I was often working with. How things have changed.

I think I was one the last old school programmers, C (North C) on an Amiga 500 (2 Disk drives & 512K upgrade!). Once you got to be able to translate the 'almost' UNIX error messages  , I wasn't too bad...
Visual Studio and the like made us lazy!

Me too. Keepin' it real.
No Visual Studio on OpenVMS.
