Welcome to the WP team mat123, it's interesting that backspace is pressed so much. Do you make errors or have an idea of why out of curiosity.
Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Whew, And sometimes I think I play too many games... but their key counts never get anywhere near the top half! :P

I've found I don't really like to play games as much as I used to, sure every once in a while I find a great one that catches my attention until I finish it, but I find I can't go back and play them over and over and over again like I did with older games. Not sure if this is a nostalgia thing, since I can still go through Super Mario World despite not only having gone through the bloody game hundreds of times before but even had a week or so where I would sit down and try to make a Emulator movie where I went through the entire game every day. bloody thing kept losing sync about 15 or so minutes into the 3 hour recording, or wether I'm just getting old :P

Not that I feel bad that I find, for example, C# generics more exciting then what new vehicles I can add to the latest GTA clone game.  ;D



Lately the Curly braces and square brackets have been getting a thorough boost, no doubt because I'm practically halted all my work in VB6(which doesn't use either curly braces or square brackets for basic syntax*) and am now working full on in C#, which has them all over the place - curly braces for blocks, square brackets for indexers.

I also took note of my curiously high use of parentheses, which at first I passed off as those I use for programming and expressions and whatnot, but I've come to think that I use parentheses an awful lot when they aren't necessary (such as here, for example). I've always found them to be a sign of poorly structured writing so I will probably make some effort to improve that.

See, Whatpulse changes lives!


*Re square brackets in VB6... yes, I am well aware that they can be used to access hidden members, such as the NewEnum method of the collection object, as in collectionobj.[_NewEnum](), but *censored* that's hardly a common use case.

I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

It was just a thought. I know that I had some(actually lots) problems, attempting to get my sigs. in that area. When I noticed the text in yours ( I had to get rid of mine) and also only part of your F@H is showing, I thought that the allotted area may have been too small for what you wanted to get in there. overthehill

Other than W, A, Space, D, and S (keys I use for gaming), E is my top key. Surprisingly, Backspace is 9th, followed by "Unknown"...
