I C what you did there.
One of my personal mantras of programming is actually, “it never works the first time”. Mostly because I’ll see an obvious cause for an issue, fix it, and then take out all the debugging code, which inevitably is a bad idea.
There’s only one thing you learn from having your program work perfectly the first way: the bug is EXTREMELY difficult to find this time around.
My laptop’s name is Horatio!
And I’ll bet it was named after the CSI character, rather than the Shakespeare one.
Actually it was named after Lord Nelson (not that I’m a major Lord Nelson fan; it just sounded like a victorious thing to name a gaming computer). It was also inspired by the King Kurt song. I didn’t even know there was a CSI character with the name, and it hadn’t occurred to me until reading your post that there’s a Hamlet character with the name, either!
My other computer is called Edgar, and my smartphone is called Jefferson. (Neither named after anyone/anything)
Wasn’t Edgar the name of the computer in Electric Dreams?
Seriously? Awesome coincidence!
