The irony is I didn't study computer science - it was hardly around at the
time. There was a room where graduate students went to put their research into
IBM punch cards - but only a few were ever allowed access to that room. The
rest of us used the desktop calculators - I used to go to the zoololgy
department because the one there had 3 memories as opposed to the usual
two....otherwise we used slide rules. I still have mine, a Faber Castell. It
has mould on it though...
Oddly enough a brain that has learnt the rules of classical music harmony is
well placed to do well with computer programming. I don't know if it has been
formally researched, but I have heard many people comment this. I think its
because the rules of classical harmony are as least as intricate as computer
languages, even though the whole craft is only for doing very good design where
the craft is not at all important to to user (listener in this case).
But we digress...in real life I am debugging why I am getting the wrong element
from a string list when doing something in a transaction...
