1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I'm listening to the book, A Hacker's Mind[^], by well-known cryptographer, computer security professional, privacy specialist, Harvard professor and writer, Bruce Schneier.
This is not just about computer hacking but hacks of all kinds and it will definitely raise your awareness. The subtitle is: "How the Powerful Bend Society's Rules, and How to Bend them Back"
Here's a snapshot of an excerpt of one of the most memorable hacks[^] that Schneier mentions. 
Have you read or listened to the book?
Really well written and amazing amount of information and will make you think different about the hacks that are going on every day.

I locked my chickens up last night, and I missed one of them.
I found her this morning, outside and injured, her comb pretty much chewed/ripped off. Luckily she wasn't bleeding heavily, but she's not really eating.
I'd take her to the vet, but hubby has the car until he gets back into town today. I don't usually drive so it's not normally an issue, but I may need to call the in-laws. I just had FIL over here yesterday about a power issue.
I feel terrible about this. Poor thing.

Speaking of Chicken Tenders... 
|
|
|
|
|
Are they strictly laying chickens or do you eventually eat them? There's a pun in there about chicken tenders!
|
|
|
|

I call myself a chicken tender as a joke.
They're egg layers. We named them after The Golden Girls - Dorothy, Rose, Sophia and Blanche. How can one slaughter the Golden Girls?
Dorothy is the one who got injured.

I expect you had "battered chicken" on your mind as well.

Dorothy thought she knew better since she was the smart one.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

And the least likely to lay?

My daughter has a big heart like you do HtC.
When she was in high school and finished with fruit fly experiments, she cried when she had to dispose of them (by taking them outside into the Minnesota winter).

Yay well done YAUT

I've been just straight up hacking for the past several days.
I wouldn't even call it coding. I was doing black magic, going where there be dragons (with mixed results)
I usually do it in fits and starts, but this was a marathon. I'm surprised I had the stamina for it.
Himself has been at a linguistics conference over the same period. That might have something to do with it.
It's kind of empty in the house, and it was a good escape, but man am I tired.

This was once described as "gonzo programming" - working round the clock to finish something, for the feeling of accomplishment at the end. It typically produces more bugs than coding during office hours, and leads to burnout. Avoid at all costs!
I stipulate that there are times (like meeting a hard deadline) when working round the clock is required, but this should be very much the exception.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
