Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Just read on Auntie that Sir Peter died today after a long illness. A flippin' great actor. Mostly noted noted for his starring role in Lawrence of Arabia, I liked his movies. His worst movie will always be greater than Prometheus. He struck me as a top-notch pisshead as well.![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

There should be a "Lawrence of Caligula" mashup (even if Peter O'Tool was not the main character in Caligula!)
I'd rather be phishing!

That would be "Supergirl" from 1984! No fault to him or the very lovely Helen Slater, but to an extremely poorly written script...
I've always liked Peter O'Toole, so that is sad indeed. RIP.

I was being selfish, meaning it's sad for the moviegoing world that he is no longer around...

Those frightfully decent folk sent me an email telling me I was entitled to an £868 tax refund. The email address I have to reply to is info AT hm DOT mobi. If you're feeling up to it please contact them on my behalf with your credit card details and I'm sure they'll be only too happy to pass on some of the money collected to me. The English gives it away:
"Please submit the tax refund request and click here by having your tax refund sent to your Credit Card Account in due time.
Please continue here to have your tax refund sent to Credit Card Account,
Note : A refund can be delayed for variety of reason, for example submitting invalid record."
That makes it legit then? Who else but HMRC would use pidgeon-english in their correspondence? I didn't know they had an office in Lagos. So much for outsourcing.

I've been wanting to experiment with something that would probably be called "live coding". These days, it's not uncommon for gamers to live stream their game play. So I can't help but wonder if there's someone out there, possibly a junior level developer, who might want to see what it looks like when a seasoned ASP MVC developer plugs away at the terminal. Or maybe another seasoned developer who typically works alone might want to see what it looks like when someone else is writing code. There's the potential to learn a lot, but for the people watching me, and myself. I can explain the design decisions I made, but I'm also interested in taking recommendations on my existing design decisions. I'm interested in sharing my workflow, but also learning from others where my workflow has gaps.
Google+ Hangouts seem to be the best way to facilitate this kind of live coding because you can see my screen and we can communicate together. Yesterday, during my first test, I had two people stop in to see what I was doing, but they didn't stay for long. I think maybe if I schedule it here in advance that I might get more people watching/contributing.
Thoughts, anyone?

Not sure it'll work too well - I can see where it works with games because there is something to see going on, but with coding it's going to be large chunks of typing which frankly aren't going to be much fun to watch...
|
|
|
|
|
I don't think it will be like that at all. First, I'd explain what I was doing as I moved along. Second, I'm a fast typer, I don't make a lot of mistakes, and I move forward quickly. There's rarely a long gap of boring coding happening. At least, not in my opinion.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure - but then I only have my coding style to go on: long periods of thinking, then typing, testing and repeat until cut to CP and / or the coffee plunger 
|
|
|
|
|
Pretty much what I'm doing too. Typing actual code is less than 1% of my work, not counting hacks in response to a question on CP or elsewhere. I think a lot, sketch a lot, eventually do some UML designs (which might in fact be somewhat interesting to someone who knows UML), and at some point have my UML tool generate some code. Only then I'll start fill in some blanks until I either get it to work or realize I've missed an important aspect - at which point I return to step one 
Perhaps I should add that as a mathematician I'm more concerned with creating new, optimized algorithms for very specific applications than cranking out what I like to refer to as "fluff code". 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

As a ameture, It might be too much to follow. But I think you should have chosen a forum Like this[^] for this post.
Having said that, I would be interested.

Thanks for the feedback, David. I plan on doing it again once or twice this week, so I'll be sure to post in all relevant places ahead of time.
What day/time works best for you, by the way?
|
|
|
|
|
Evening's Us eastern time. Or weekends. Someone suggested A Screen cast, and I think that would be better.
But either way thank You.

Are you thinking about pair programming / XP development?
I've been involved in pair programming a few times. Not sure if it works well.
|
|
|
|
|
It's a little like pair programming, except "pair" usually means "two", and Google+ Hangouts supports quite a bit more than two people at the same time. And more than likely, I'd be the only on with access to the IDE. Would still share my thought process and accept feedback along the way though.
