I'd love to take that approach to my designs, but I don't get that luxury I
am afraid.

As for that comment, if you're happy with your second draft, you're better
man than me <vbg.

I agree - but I have a hard time convincing my boss that the code is
sweeter
second time around <g

But seriously. If I'm writing a serious bit of code which I know must be
of
that *extra* quality, I'll treat the first code as draft even before I've
started. The second code is usually what you're happy with.

G'day there Bob,

You can't blame windows for you not having backups. If you rely on a
system,

Of COURSE I can blame Windows. You don't think I'm going to accept
resposibility for my own stuff ups, do you? <g.


Well I never have!


As it happens, it's not as bad as I thought. I found a fairly
recent version at work where I'd emailed it for testing. It's not as
up
to date as desirable, but it's better than starting from scratch.


Some good news at least. I often find this quite useful (glass half-full
man
me), as you often easily recall what you did, and re-doing it makes you
see
it in a clearer light and you end up with better code.
