TCP sockets and C programming aren’t for the weak of heart. I just came back from 15hour coding run that started Friday afternoon and lasted up until now. It took me about 6 hours to figure out that I had been adding a 1 to a char* while trying to print it out, which caused Firefox to go crazy when it talked to my web server. I hate projects that are due on Friday at 11:59PM. It ruins the whole day, the night and the Saturday as well while I recover from the long coding runs.
It’s 2:30AM (and dinner time!!!..) and I am so far from been done for the weekend that it’s not even funny.

well I to agree, about char* & pointer arithmatic can some times paly havoc till you realise/remove the bug. I think that way Java is clean without pointers (or so I heard)! Even experienced programmer like me some time make this mistake & wasted hours on debugging is definitely not funny!
