Life is unfair

But that's okay

Someday I swear

No coding away

On Valentine's Day

nostrademons• 17 years ago

Maybe later. Was out with friends this afternoon.

deepblue• 17 years ago

oh definitely... no GF so a nobrainer ;)

aristus• 17 years ago

I wasn't going to code until I needed to give my SO a gift... so I made an export-to-CSV feature she had been asking for.

bscofield• 17 years ago

Worked a bit on some iPhone dev, but mostly I was busy cooking

tdavis• 17 years ago

I went to the gym, watched a TV episode, coded, had a few beers... so, yeah, the same thing I do every day.

One way or another, if you were coding today, you made a conscious decision to do that instead of an alternative -- There's no point regretting it.

That is the real life :) Code and Beer and HN ;)

P.S . : Lucky my girlfriend is not reading hn ;)

mofey3• 17 years ago

how do you like my "poem"? :)

dreur2• 17 years ago

Nice :D I like it a lot

mofey3• 17 years ago

Thanks :)

Why not? I still don't get the purpose of Valentine's day. If you want to make a girl feel special take her out randomly, be unexpected. Theirs nothing more boring/generic then flowers/box of chocolate on Valentine's day.

I am, http://github.com/jcapote/theman/tree/master

We celebrated last night with a simple dinner out; we figured better to do so a day before, and beat the rush. Otherwise, I share the same sentiment(and so does my SO), that Valentine's Day has no purpose, other than a commercial purpose.

Today's schedule: Woke, coffee- extra bold, studied advanced maths, probabilities and some math light reading(Drunkard's Walk), chilled with the wife and watched some fun stuff, and now for some late night coding.

We'll see who gets the last laugh when I finish implementing love.

mofey3• 17 years ago

This should be on the wall of fame or quotations!

silencio• 17 years ago

coding with the boyfriend, couldn't stand the movies we were watching. :)

CalmQuiet• 17 years ago

Coding is the Valentine I give to myself today - and how I make sure I have something great to give to my Valentine tomorrow!

endtime• 17 years ago

Yep, spent the entire day coding. Big demo on Wednesday, no time for feeble human emotions.

cubicle67• 17 years ago

I am, but it's Sunday.

(Did yesterday too, but we've got our wedding anniversary soon, so that's our valentines day :) )

tlb• 17 years ago

I'm checking HN while my code compiles. Since there's nobody to swordfight on desk chairs with.

Todd• 17 years ago

Yes, like nearly every other day. That doesn't mean that I didn't find time to spend with the people I care about. Both are a matter of priorities.

marram• 17 years ago

Long weekend, so coding on a moonlighting project is inevitable.
