Hi All,
I thought I was for the high jump with Today's meeting with my Boss (the message I posted yesterday as 'Well Thats a Supprise!') my Boss & HR, when I told them the reason for certain things were 'Oh, that explains it, so you did..' and weekly meetings with my Boss. So All good! everyone happy. What the is going to happen now?

I assume the reason your Boss did not come and talk to you in the first place, is that he is of the very PHB variety.

You will look busy for two and a half days, and then bugger off until the new year?

Keep doing what you're told, keep a low profile and a copy of all your mails.

That's a good one! I was trying to fit in British as the solution.

I was at the dentist yesterday to have a tooth ground down ready for a crown - so ACHE was pretty high in my mind!

I built a parser generator in less than a day.
It's not done done, but it works.
And nearly on the first try. (I had a stupid mistake i had to correct but after that the generated code worked like a breeze)
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Well done!
Its a rare day that happens to me
|
|
|
|

Most compilers I have written have been written in a day - then about 6 months to get them done done

And smelled like a fart?
After all, you didn't specify what kid of breeze.
My grandmother said, if someone let a fart."Who hath let forth that spicy breeze?"

was more thinking of this:
Prince Wang's programmer was coding software. His fingers danced upon the keyboard. The program compiled without and error message, and the program ran like a gentle wind.
"Excellent!" the Prince exclaimed. "Your technique is faultless!"
"Technique?" said the programmer, turning from his terminal, "What I follow is Tao -- beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off."
Prince Wang said, "Would that all of my programmers were as wise!" - The Tao of Programming[^]

Those of us still toiling in large corporations can all agree to this:
Quote: A novice asked the Master: "In the East, there is a great tree-structure that men call 'Corporate Headquarters'. It is bloated out of shape with vice presidents and accountants. It issues a multitude of memos, each saying 'Go Hence!' or 'Go Hither!' and nobody knows what is meant. Every year new names are put onto the branches, but all to no avail. How can such an unnatural entity exist?"
The Master replied: "You perceive this immense structure and are disturbed that it has no rational purpose. Can you not take amusement from its endless gyrations? Do you not enjoy the untroubled ease of programming beneath its sheltering branches? Why are you bothered by its uselessness?"
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

2 weeks ago I asked advice on a graphics card. I wanted to upgrade my Nvidia Geforce GTX 460.
In meantime I successfully installed …
[ drum rolls ]
[ more drum rolls ]
An Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 …
It was a bit above my budget, but it should last me quite some time.
(now to find some good games... )
