oops

I've been banging my head against a wall this morning, trying to figure out why a very simple bit of computer code that I wrote was not working. My brain was going in a bad direction. "If you can't even write a piece of code this simple, why do you think you can do that really sophisticated thing you've been trying to do?"

Then I found the mistake. I named one of my variables cum instead of sum. Oops.

  1. It's a good thing I'm not a Freudian psychologist, or I'd have a lot of things to say about that "slip" :)

  2. Damn brain. How can it be SOOOOOOO SMART and still go in those bad directions? I hope you laughed at the mistake. If you'd like to talk about that "slip," just let me know. I'm here.
