My brain doesn't work right, but for a different reason. I have a migraine starting, so I've dosed up on my meds. Purple Haze, here I come  .

The circle gets a little hitchy at one point, but other than that I can do it correctly with good consistency. Furthermore, I find that I can do it absolutely flawlessly every time as long as I keep my eyes focused on the foot rather than the hand.

Yeah, but you're supposed to draw a 6, not a 9.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I first thougt it worked for me ... until i realized I was drawing the 6 with the left hand.

Tap out a triplet pattern with one hand.
Now try and tap out a half note or sixteenth note pattern with the other hand.
Once you have mastered this, now try and reverse the hands.

My brain works perfectly fine... wait... why the hell am I drawing an 8?

Ok. That's it. Now I'll be singing "Hi, my name is Joe, and I work...." for the rest of the day.
You are hereby sentenced to work in nothing but Dartmouth BASIC and all the legacy code is nothing but GOTOs.

I can't do it because I can't draw the 6 while rotating my foot.

I am concurrently converting VB 6 code to C++ (For an embedded enviroment) and C# (Pretty version for demonstration of the technology)
Converting loose types into strict types is roughly the equivelant of the human variant of the same types. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

"converting VB 6 to C++" sounds like a screaming nightmare.
I sincerely hope you mean "rewrite a VB6 code base to C++"
:p

Rewriting C# Linq expressions that refer to one type of a IQueryable; where the data access layer uses another type (projecting). All because the people who wrote the app decided that they needed to write their own almost identical (but not compatible) models to expose from MVC WebApi.

When I have to implement/fix yet another critical feature that somehow managed to evaporate from the client feature list in the past million meetings, and it has to be done yesterday... (I joined a team in the final stages of the project, and being the main dev I have to finish everything)
Maybe it's more a case of strangling the Garthok... /rage off
P.S. upvote for the reference  haven't heard of the Garthok in ages

Having to justify to a brand new 23 year old "social" executive why we use the Microsoft stack vs. PHP + MySQL...
"Well, .net costs us about $2.60 per line of code vs. about $5 for PHP. And we have 1 guy supporting 150 Windows servers, you can have 5 guys supporting the same number of Linux and double your dev team...if you really think that is best."

Trying to explain to the head office (where all the big brains are) that something they just noticed today has been working that way since it was installed back in 2009.
They had called in a panic that something must have broke since yesterday when it was working just fine.
I think it must be something in the water.
But what do I know, I just wrote the program that they use every day.

I do the same thing all days, except that the release year is 1998.
And that the application should be dead, as i was asked 1 year ago to rewrite it and i'm still waiting for them to 'test' it.

Sorry, didn't even know that was a reference, until I saw someone up-voted you for it.
