Hi All,
I have been a grouch/miserable over the last few weeks with a project lacking data, not really understanding the problem. I have made a few posts here miserable as sin, sorry(  ). Finally Boss man saw the light and told me to do so & so, doing so and so, customer coming over Monday they both need my the thing I am working on to work so it arms, elbows in to it. I did find a bug in the paper work which had me stumped for a time and led to some odd Q&A questions (answered by PK Fox & Griff Thanks guys!) with out that problem I would have got much further. Running on ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) & very little else! But I will get something completed today and now back to the fun!.
Thanks All for putting up with me!

Er... umm... yes, you are working too hard. When this is over you need to spend some time on a quiet place, a VB free zone if you will. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

For once I thought I am reading email. Take a break, talk about something totally unrelated and come back to problem. Often helps me.

And...and...it's POETS day!
So take the battery out of the phone, grab a tent and bugger off somewhere for the weekend where VB can't find you!

Congratulations! It's a good feeling knowing that you will actually finish.
I ran into something similar in my PhD research. Darn program just wouldn't give the right answers. I finally tracked it down to a typo in some technical papers, which had been copied by others and put into other source code. Everyone said they tested it, but no one actually tested it over the range of parameter I'm interested in.
Once I found that, everything works fine and I can match experimental data within the measurement accuracy with my numerical models. So, after about 3 or 4 months of fighting and banging my head, I finished that and another module and wrote the documentation in a week. Now 2 more modules to write, then test, then I can finish my dissertation and get ready to defend it.
As you said, it is frustrating, but the feeling of relief and joy when you finally see a light at the end of the tunnel is fantastic!

Doesn't seem to have it's own website[^], but I reckon after a few more I won't give a flying faarrrkkkk.
So far it is tasting excellent and I don't think it will get any worse the drunker I get.

Nice beer. But how many more do you need to drink before you can pronounce it properly?

Writing it's name is also a problem, as I see.

You need to introduce the site to Google, as it couldn't find it when I had a look.

I'd only just started and would ahve thought the brewery would have wanted to be found.

Each brewery wants to be found since it was just a small keg. Help it to fulfill its dream. Keep on drinking !

Persuading MM to follow that advice is like persuading you to keep breathing air. Or to have another piece of chocolate...

You have chocolate ? :puppy eyes:
Actually I suffer from choco abstinence after all summer is coming and its good to lower the choco income. I am not a pleasant person to interact with when i am in that state

Oh come on. You misspelled it's name and/or typed something strange like "zywiec porter" and expect to find something relevant.
Instead you should type "zywiec beer" and it is 1st on list of google results.
Google is as much smart as user who use it 
Grupa Żywiec is really big brewery owned by Heineken (you should know that one I guess) which produces plenty of beers.
You cannot expect it to put money into SEO of all its brands and kinds of brands (Żywiec is brand of beer and Porter is kind of beer) in all possibilities of typing in all alphabets.
Anyway it is nice that Polish beer is even in XXX ( http://baltimorereads.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/the-last-continent-terry-pratchett/[^])
Have a good time

First article I read this morning "Write Code Every Day" by John Resig
Link: Write Code Every Day
This article is simply one of the best blog posts I have read in a long time and covers all of the issues and solutions I've looked into when working on side projects, big credit to the guy for writing it.
Can I make a suggestion to Chris and the team? We turn this into a Code Project Challenge? Hell of a way to advertise Workspaces in my opinion.

I should really try that with my study courses...
