Two come to mind 1- My first two Smalltalk programs, one a simulation of a Tibetan monastery's micro-economic system based on staging sponsored religious ceremonies, the second a simulation of interactions with a cultural informant for a field methods course in grad school.
2- A C (absolutely hated the programming language) - Windows Developer's Toolkit v 0.9 (absolutely hated Microsoft from that day forward) program to measure the cow eyes in order to fit them with contact lenses. It seems that cows with poor eyesight give less milk and and contact lenses meant more milk and more ice cream at Babcock Hall, University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I did the project. I have always had fun when working with Smalltalk, whatever the project. davew On Tue, 17 Mar 2009 18:05 -0600, "Owen Densmore" <[email protected]> wrote: > OK, lots of us have noticed that computing is not all that fun > anymore.
