Do any of you have days when you can't bring yourself to write a single line of code? I'm having one right now. :( :cry:

Yes, I have those all the time. Fortunately, today wasn't one of them, and I was able to rewrite most of my website's core! Woot. :-)

It's called coders block, afaik.

I had one of them yesterday, then had the misfortune to discover VisualBoyAdvance and my old collection of GBA ROMs, so I spent several hours playing them. Complete waste of time ;)

I always find myself spending a lot of time downloading and trying out new IDEs, in the hope that they will make my programming more efficient. Needless to say, actually doing some programming would also make me more efficient.

On the upside, I can tell you: Don't bother with Visual Studio Pro.

I wasn't planning to :P. Last time I used Visual Studio I wanted to punch the nearest MS developer. In fact, I get that feeling a lot when using MS software :P

I was just pissed off that it installed software on my machine (.NET compact framework 2.5 is an example), that didn't get removed in the Uninstall process, and I COULDN'T uninstall it. It stays there.

It's not bad software. It's just arrogant. It does not own my PC, but it thinks it does. Thank God* that it was only the trial edition.

*Well, the MS download site, really.

Cheers, I'll have a look at that - I used to use the old version, but then switched to Eclipse because I got bored waiting for the new release (and wasn't prepared to keep manually updating the various betas.

Cheers,
Adam

PS: mine is vc60/acme, 3 days ago, i had tried latest codeblocks, it works fine, but the speed and the default theme is just sloppy.

CodeLite is a rather nice IDE. I found it quite a while ago and was impressed with the features. It's simple yet powerful, just the way I like it. :-)
