TitleYay for code.

00:10:39 | Daily Life, Little Things | Comments

I’m so happy.

I managed to complete coding a nifty little program for one of the modules in my FYP. It features adorable little coloured blobs with numbers attached to them, and you can adjust the numbers and in turn, the blobs grow bigger (or smaller).

Wheeeeeeee.

(Yes, yes, yes I know. It seems weird that here I am, seated at my desk at almost midnight, going gaga over a program I coded. The epitome of geek?)

I love coding.

Even though I’ve picked up Actionscript 3.0 only barely three months ago, it wasn’t as much of an uphill struggle as I initially expected it to be. Yes, the initial learning is tough but sooner or later, it gets better and one will start enjoying the coding process more.

More people should learn how to code. (Haha.)

Oh and yes, there was the cardiologist visit last Saturday which I’ve yet to speak about.

Well, the same issues are back after a short period of calm. The giddy spells and the occasional fainting spells are coming in waves now and in addition to these, I suddenly find myself having extremely strong heart palpitations.

I find my heart racing and seemingly threatening to thud right out of my chest after climbing up a mere two flights of stairs (I used to be able to climb up ten at one go), when I reach up to get something from my shelf, or when I bend down to pick up something I’ve dropped.

First, those palpitations, followed by the fainting spells. They come in pairs.

And one particular day last week, I experienced the same strong palpitations even when I was seated at my desk, reading a textbook.

In lieu of this, the cardiologist wishes to rule out arrhythmia. As such, I’m going to be hooked up to some portable ECG monitor (Holter) coming Friday for about a day or so - and I’d be concealing everything with a big, baggy sweater as I go around with my daily activities.

Am soooo not looking forward to it. :(

Have you ever thought that the overzealousness you show towards code and coding might be causing the feinting? Just a thoughts… hehe

lol i’m not sure i would get so excited about code, except that i’m sure that it feels good when you get something to work the way you want it to :) what do the cute little blobs look like? a screenshot perhaps?

aw the ECG monitor doesn’t sound too fun, but hopefully its helpful in finding out whats wrong…

I used to be totally into coding and would
get extremely excited over something little
that I’ve programmed. now I’m just too tired D:

lol! I’d be overly excited about coding a program too…well, I’d be overly excited if I could actually code css decently. =P I get lost in all the letters and numbers with my astigmatism.

That sounds like it’s going to be rough. I really hope they figure out what is causing all these problems once you are finished with the ECG monitor!

whoa! you’re a natural-born coder, then? Actionscript is pretty tough.

geesh i hope you get over the faint/palpitation spell soon! i can imagine how bothersome this ecg monitor is.

aww hehe it is exciting when you’ve code something and it’s correctly how you want it to be X3 hehe I’ve never heard of actionscript eek.. but now that you’ve introduced it..maybe i should check it out. lol though, i doubt i’m any good at it =_=;
Good luck ^^
