So, after about a month of working from home, where the only exercise I got was going from bedroom to office, and sitting on my butt all day, I reckoned my muscle wastage must have equalled that of an ISS resident, so I decided to go for a hike...
Oh my god! 300 meters vertical, 3 hours, 4 km. Absoloutely knackered. Legs feel like lead. ALmost passed out on the walk untill I got some bread and pate down me, with a liter of apple juice.
Holy crap, I have to do better than this. Its skiing season soon!  
Mind you the dog, a young and supposedly built for it type hunting dog, was totally wasted aswell. The first puddle we found it half emptied by drinking then lay in for half an hour it was that done it.
At least when I contracted in Belgium I had an 8k each way bike commute, in all weathers. That WAS good, I was as fit as a fiddle, stay up all night, drinking god knows what, I could take it! These days? Dear oh dear, what a sad pile of flab I am.

Never liked it. Rain, wind, snow, hail, and a warm bus passing by.

Its good for you though. Really good.
Actually the commute I had wasn't bad. Quiet 'country' road through suburbs, across the ring, then through the middle of Leuven, which is a beautiful city so no exposure to busses.
Didn't have snow either. Had -8 C one morning, and oddly didn't get wet that often either. Must have been lucky with the showers I guess.

8% grade is actually a fairly rough hike, even for someone in excellent shape.
But, yeah, get it shape!

I feel your pain... And I reckon many people with a 9 to 5 desk job.
You have to actively train your body in your free time or feel the consequences.
Unfortunately I don't like training and I don't plan on using up my free time doing something I don't like
It's an OO world.

Don't panic, you're not out of shape; round is a shape, according to geometers.
As jobs go, I say it's still a notch above the guy who has to write the date on the splash guards in the urinals in the men's restrooms of the casinos across the river from where I live. I knew a guy who did that, and he was really annoyed with people who toss cigarette butts in there. He said it made them really soggy and hard to light.

I ran across this in some legacy code, and I hereby submit it to "the most redundant/superfluous code comment contest":
// Check connection
checkConnection();
Why do I hear, in my mind's ear, Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle drawling "Surprise, surprise!" when I see this comment?
|
|
|
|
|
What I really love is when code gets changed but the comment does not. There was a huge thread on these types of things not that long ago.
//Check Connection
breakConnection();

Does seem excessively redundant! 
I think even Gomer would know not to do this.

As I recall, he's an automotive mechanic, you don't think his wrenches are marked with their sizes? Seems redundant to me.

A good mechanic can tell the size of a wrench by looking at it so yeah that would be redundant to mark them.

Maybe, but I'll bet if you looked closely at the implementation code, it might draw a check box onscreen next to the word 'Connection" and place a checkmark into it. Encapsulation can do that!

That's worth more points if it turns out that checkConnection actually does not check connection.
