No. I have good sence of humor like you. But we must be very clear about where we need to apply this. I thing lounge is the place where we can discuss sence and humor. That is sence of humor.

The ideal programmer,
- Needs to play with things, to see how they work and produce a RAD prototype as proof of concept
- Needs discipline, to take what they have just worked on and throw it away, learning from its lessons but not taking its structure forward.
- Needs to think the entire design through, not just start coding. Produce a design that covers everything for the version one product and provides support for future enhancements.
- Needs a thick skin, to take criticism as people pick holes in the design.
- Needs to avoid a big ego, so that good suggestions made by other people, are integrated into the project in place of your own.
- Needs to consider reuse. "Has somebody already done something that I can use, Or can I make this slightly bigger so I can reuse it in the future"
- Needs to work as part of a team, so that they communicate what they are doing not just stick their head in the sandbox. Try and keep abreast of what others are doing. You might find some of your work overlaps with other team members and both of you can benefit.
- Needs to test everything. At least three times. Pick stuff that should work, stuff that shouldn't work and something else for good luck.
- Needs to understand that the GoalPosts will have moved. e.g. The User/Client has specced v1.0. We spend 6 months writing v1. The user now wants v2 / v1 doesn't have anywhere near the functionality the user needs. We still release v1.
- Needs to constantly keep re-evaluating the design and the product, to see of any of the above can be utilised.
The Real world Programmer,
- Needs to understand deadlines. They can't have time to program for reuse, but they can reuse others work. They tend to keep their head down while working busily, concentrating on their own problems.
- Wants the best software release they can. They will often raise issues when v1 is released and it wont meet the users real needs, although it meets the specification.
Anyone else anymore?

A real answer -- the guy asked a real question and
deserves real answers.
I have solved far more problems via tenacity than
inspiration. So -- a developer needs to be able
to stick to a problem. He needs patience too.
(A little bit of inspiration never hurts  ).)
He must be a problem solver.
He is unlikely to be a good manager of people.
He must be able to work long hours with only
a computer. But he must no be antisocial.
He is likely to like to solve mazes.
He must be able to read. And read well. And
he must be willing to research. There is so much
to be read, studied and research! And he must
be self motivated to do the research on his own.
It would be nice if he can type -- really -- I
have known a those that could not type that pecked
their code.
The preceding answer hit it true that he must be
able to go down a path and accept it that he went
the wrong way; take what he did as a learning
experience and start a new solution. He must
realize that there is very rearly only one solution.
Rather there's almost always a better way or
at least another way. And he must be willing to
admit when he has chosen the poor way.
He must be willing to move on, not try for
perfection; but get the job done. Done right;
but not necessarily perfect. (I have seen
a programmer waste lots of time to create an
elegant solution to a problem that could be
solved with a few more lines of code that he
feels is necessary.)
I hope these help -- the MOST important attribute
(as far as I am concerned) is that he be: tenacious.

I have tried using the "inpout32.ll" to input data through the data lines of the parallel port but to no avail. I'm tring to set the sixth bit of the control register but it simply does not change. No matter what number of bits I write to the control register, when I read the contents of the register they do not reflect the bits written. For example, after writing 32 to the control register and reading it, it gives an output of 192. Whatever number of bits I write to the control register, the sixth bit which is supposed to make the data lines bi directional does not change, that is, it does not get set. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Problem: I need to create a Client/Server Application.
[Server] Winsock host, MS SQL 7/2000 connectivity. The server must accept multiple connections and return database query results in text/xml
help examples may have an access database.
[Client] Winsock Client, Convert text/xml data from server into recordset. These rescordset will be displayed on forms in an MDI environment on a Win32 platform
Current Status: I can create the above scenario in Visual Basic. I need to create it in Visaul C++ because I understand one has more control of winsock in C++.
I have tried to use VB-to-C++ converters this was no help
I have tries combining bits and pieces of samples from this site and the most successful was using NDK, DAO, ATL and Dialog based. Tried converting it to MDI then all hell broke lose.
Reason: I have and application developed in visual basic that uses the data environment connections, and reports using Seagate Crystal. This application run over a WAN/LAN (two cities) the connection is slow especially when trying to get a recordset
