Facepalm moments

[Marcb]

I just had a facepalm moment when I finally tracked down a bug in a little program I'm writing...
I was fixated for a month on a piece of code I just knew must be causing the problem... I re-wrote it in dozens of creative ways and guru every time...
I re-read the Rkms, googled and still guru every time..

Decided tonight to get on with other bits and come back to it...
Reading further down the code I saw it:
Turns out I forgot to free an exec list memory block instead... 2 seconds later, bugs gone...

What are some of your face palm moments?

• Throwing out my collection of Amiga & C64 Magazines in the early 2000's because they were just taking up room in the garage. Fast Forward to 2010 and buying them + shipping from the UK & US 1 at a time.

• Putting together a proposal & quick demo program as a 22yo to show Management at my work how we could get clients to dial in and place their orders and manage their accounts only to be told noone would bother to buy a modem
