Well, post a picture of a view from your house. Here is one from my bedroom, where i do all my programming!





Elevation Here: 8500 feet

And also check out this thread

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

50 degress what? Fahrenheit? If yes that's pretty cold... If Celsius, then that's freaking hot!

True it's all relative I don't remember it getting any less than 60 (Fahrenheit) here and that's during winter.

Wow you guys are lucky. I can't take a picture because it's dark out but rest assured you're not missing much, other than some homes, a few trees, and occasionally a rabbit or squirrel...

Colorado is a beautiful state, I go there almost every year in the winter to ski or summer to hike (mostly Keystone or Durango), I love it there. I live in Texas though, not the most scenic view, just the houses down the street in the suburbs .

You live in Colorado? I spent the first 11 or so years of my life there. I was born about 20 miles West of Colorado Springs in a little town called Woodland Park. I loved that place.

I currently reside in Wisconsin though. It has the best cheese!

You must live in the mountains, lol. I actually live in Peyton right now. Excellent view from my place.

Though, I have to admit it's a little too windy out here. If the thermostat says -16 (which it did a few weeks back) you can bet it's below -40 with wind chill. And on top of lowering the temp, the wind tends to blockade our garage with snow.

My computer sits right by my window, and on occassion I have seen frost on the corners of my monitor.

I'll take a picture when it's daylight, but there isn't much to see. Just a few houses.

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.

Depends which house. One is of just other houses, and the other has a view of the town with sea and the like.

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Ach, I live in the middle of a maze of semi-detached houses, nothing much to see out my windows. Was better when I lived by the sea, nowadays I only look out the window to check if it's sleet, rain, or snow.

This is unedited



These were taken out of my old bedroom window before I moved to Scotland and moved again to the uni I'm at.

I'll get another picture sometime out of this silly window I'm sat next to.

OMG DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY!

My view from my window is my school! That's why I never look outside.

What was even cooler about it was that if you looked closely at the full size pictures (taken at some ridiculous resolution) there was actually a 3rd rainbow in the very interior of the inner one.

I'll see if I can find a picture and blow it up for you.

EDIT:

Here's a picture I took with 3 rainbows in.


Theres a blown up part of that first picture so you can see the inner one.

I should get a prize for the best rainbows photography or something.

I envy your country's ownership of nice views. Britain has none, my view is of some crappy council houses and a clapped out Fiesta.

Somewhat depressive, I plan a move to somewhere nice when I have the age/money.

Yeh, i live in Bailey, if you possibly know where that is.

I remember a couple weeks ago i was skiing at Breckenridge, a ski resort, and it was -11 outside, winds at 70 mph. At the eating place at the top of the hill the wind chill charts said -70 Was the coldest skiing i have ever done...

That was all in Fahrenheit, people xD

Oh and OMG TRIPLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY *sob*

@DarkBasicDude79 - Looks awesome and peaceful out there. I am moving at the moment. In the process of putting up curtains in the new house. I'll take a pic today and post it up later. It's not as nice as that scenery though.
