Got hit by a whopper of a cold at work today and actually had to come home and rest. Sucks, 'cos I love what I do (a little too much). -30C (-22F) wind chill doesn't help. Chugging soup and aimlessly browsing the web, when I'd rather be writing code. Stuffy head and runny nose makes that nigh impossible.
Admittedly, most people would kill to have my problems.

The great thing about working from home was, I kept on coding, I'd just take some breaks if I felt like I was lagging.
I think I could still take work home if I was sick though, or find some other coding to do ( write an article at least )

I've worked thru a sickness before, but right now I feel so broken I dare not attempt to think. Popped a couple of OTC miracle workers - if they do their thing, I might embrace Visual Studio (with much glee) later tonight. Right now I have a throbbing head and a nose that resembles a leaky faucet so I think I might just lie down and get some shut-eye.

Yes, that is the other risk. A man has to know his limitations...

A number of years ago, my wife, daughter and myself all got the chicken pox virus. For me, it ended up as conjuctivitis. Couldn't go to the office, but designed and wrote a log truck scale reader application.
It was kinda nice to just do coding with no interruptions.
Well, plenty of liquids, rest and hope you feel better soon.

Check your code...sounds like the run button event has been tied to your nose instead of the application

A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, 'What is this Father?' The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, 'Son, I've never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is. While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheelchair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button.
The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blond stepped out.
The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son.. 'Go get your Mother'

Instead of a fifteen year old Amish boy & his dad, it's a geek son and his nerd Apple-Fan-boy Dad.
Instead of a large woman, it's a PC; instead of a young gal, it's a Mac.
Instead of Mom, it's Chris Maunder ...

Shirley Chris doesn't have those kinds of problems?

I'm tempted to have the next straw poll be:
How often do you have to force quit applications in MacOS X?
[ ] All the time
[ ] Constantly
[ ] Once per application instance
[ ] Not sure - I'm getting the Spinning Pinwheel Of Doom because it's waiting on a network timeout.
|
|
|
|
|
[ ] Just works.

But, Apple stuff never crashes, and they never have viruses, either. ( I've actually heard sales guys claim this in an Apple store )

depends on who wrote the application... for instance I almost always have to force quit Microsoft's RDP application for MacOS.
but other apps like chrome, firefox, eclipse, etc. are no problem.
you want something inspirational??

Oh yeah - RDP on MacOS is truly a rough customer.

On my Mac I used to have a Barnes & Noble Nook book library / reading app. 99% of the time I'd have to force quit to exit that application. It's gone now...
In the 4+ years I've been using OS X, exiting that application is the ONLY time I've ever used force quit.
I know you didn't ask for help and I usually hate unsolicited forum responses like "Use Acme Utility v1.2, it works great!" but...
I use an OS X maintenance utility called Onyx[^]. It's free. Works great!
