Personal motivation problem

[osdnlo]

It's peculiar that you pick this time to talk about having a lack of motivation to program. I am leaning on the finish line fast asleep. I really need to get motivated to finish my driver. I've tried it all. Whenever I begin to code, I type a few things, compile and then I find myself either back here dicking around, or online somewhere else reading about some random BS. Today I even looked up, Where did white people come from? lol, that's just the most random thought ever. wtf?

lol. lets not let this go anywhere we dont want it to, and we all know where that could be, if not im not saying

[osdnlo]

lol, oh, it's cool, I already got my answer. White people are aliens. (humor)

All right, I got do some work GD it.

If i was you i would join a OS project, there is too much to do for one person.
I am looking to do the same myself.

sounds like a great idea, id love to work with anyone else. id rly like to get somethign of my own up and printing characters first

When I first started my project, it took three months till I saw my first keystroke printed to screen. The moral of my story is, don't give up.

I hate to work on code that is failing for no apparent reason. It is frustrating to work when I am unsure of the result. I would be fine to work diligently if I was sure that I was working toward an end, but I am afraid that I am only creating a new way to do it wrong once again. This is when I struggle with motivation, after failing too many times in a row. And, for that, there is no cure that I am aware of, because success is only an alternative to failure and it does not offer itself willingly.

Having said that, it appears that I am on the trail to finally getting this driver complete! I haven't had success on RH but using vmware, I am able to return the GET_DESCRIPTOR struct finally! That one took a month and half to do and it still isn't perfect. At least I have narrowed it down to one specific issue (in regards to RH). I know what needs to be done and that's a light in the dark. Really thankful to have finally seen an inkling of success. Now I just need to fix this last issue, then I can move to finish this sucker. Can't wait to be done with this project. After which, I will be taking at least a 6 month break from coding, computers, technology, etc. With Summer just around the corner, it'll be a great time to take a break and get outside. I miss the Sun.
