    Something like Winterim classes or coding for this site?
    I can not thing of any other reasons for a 14 hour webpage coding marathon.

    I was actually helping my husband with a website coding contract he’s working on. Although we’re both primarily C++ programmers, he started picking up PHP contracts because … well, because they’re be more fun. :>

    It’s not uncommon for someone to contact him because they need emergency repairs to their games’ high score site, and they need it in the next four hours. Or, as we were doing last night, they need an entire site with all it’s funky (and buggy) community features re-written in a week. (I mostly handle the CSS and some PHP debugging. I’m doing more PHP as he branches out into SQL.)

    That combination of short and urgent doesn’t occur so much with the C++ contracts, but short and urgent is perfect for us ADD types.

    Ah, i see. I have been sitting in one semester of PHP and it reminds me alot of C++ only since its web based, I find it alot more entertaining and engaging. Because i can build interactivity and dynamic design hand in hand.

    Still need to figure out what I want to do with my life. lol.

    I always find that getting sleep and coming back in the morning is better than marathon coding. But, as always, your mileage may vary :)

    Wooo! I have ADD too XD I wonder if us ADD types are more likely to play as hunters? I’ve got one friend with ADD and they’re a hunter too. Hmmm!
    Anyways, short and urgent ftw :D
