And that's the thing that's scaring me. Deeply.

I've run it once and now I'm going over everything with a fine tooth comb. I'm expecting the equivalent of the moment I look up at exactly the moment a huge fanged gelatinous monster hiding on the ceiling above my head drops onto me and devours me in a pool of green slime.

after extensive research (and despite one or two of the responses below that, really, shou'd have had the joke icon) i find that, in fact, this is the first time that this has actual,y happened.

pending documentary evidence, i propose calling this a 'Maunder Moment'

Oh, no no no no NO! My code is perfect. It runs. It has a zero bug count.

I'm not letting it out of the house.

EVER.

In fact I'm not going to run it again.

Primitusaetasfactum (Primitus-Aetas-Factum).

Primitus is the latin word for First.
Aetas is the latin word for Time.
Factum is the latin word for Work(ing); also the meaning "accomplishment" or "achievement".

In summary, this means "first time working", or "first time achieved".

There is a word for it in my experience 'Fiction' when similar has happened to me I always test it & test it again as there are things that work but not quite right, get some one who knows the previous code to check it stupid mistakes (they happen to all) also make sure all compiler warning are switched on. Just saying that's all. Unsure | :~
