So I spent about 30 mins today working out why an SQL query wouldn't work for me.

Then I realised:
a) it wasn't running in UNIX Timestamp - sorted that easily.
b) I put ADD instead of SUB.... >.>

(b) was a stupid mistake to make!



So have any of you ever made any stupid mistakes?

I made the mistake of moving my laptop wrong, and accidentally broke my USB drive for my mouse, so now I am mouseless. I still have the laptop mouse, but its hard to move on it, specially if your hands are too moist you can really move the cursor around

Several... I keep doing it in this RTS game that I play.

I think I've dropped more nukes of this player than the whole of Russia and USA have together, it's cost me TRILLIONS!!!!

But I always forget to send over anti - air defence, and I drop my nukes with my b - 52 bomber and 3 F15 fighter jets, then I land my men... and forget to take Flak tanks or Stinger Soldiers to cover my ass from THEIR bombers..

Ive lost like 100 men (a lot considering the pop cap in this game is 160) cause Italy (this guys country) brings like 4 b-2 bombers and f14 fight jets to pwn my dudes while they are running around killing civilians...

I hate it! I always get carried away making Tiger Tanks... lol

I made a mistake by putting my forum in maintaince mode and since i'm the admin, i can still view the whole board in MM. A member emailed me 2 days later saying, why is the board still upgrading.

I only took the forum down for half hour when i did some coding. Just forgot to take off MM when finished.

Hmm... well I was making some improvements to my randomizer service today, and it took me a while to figure out why one of my scripts was taking forever to load for certain randomizers. Turns out I had a while loop, and its control variable wasn't being incremented at the end...so if the proper result wasn't found in the first iteration... yep, I had an infinite loop

Stupid mistake?
