Usually yes, the same for me too. I once caught a *very* stupid error where I was trying to assign the match of a regex in which my regex didn't have anything in parenthesis. Of course I was writing code quickly and probably thought that was the direction I was going, but after a few words that would make a sailor blush and a few hours away from it, I found it in a flash.

The only thing I've never been able to reconcile is when my windows machine gets wonky and code that has run perfectly before, suddenly doesn't run until I reboot. THOSE errors really get you. :)

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.

    Apparently there is a Moscow to Ulan Bator flight, however the airport at Ulan Bator freezes up every now and then.

    Have they tried rebooting?

    That's "Ulan Bator", not "Microsoft Lan Manager"

    Hey! In the 7 years I ran LAN Manager, I almost never had to reboot.
    It always rebooted whenever it wanted.
