一夜回到解放前
这几周在写一个程序，写了大概有5、6百行，基本算写完了。
几百行的程序对我不算多，时间都是花在调试上了，因为对硬件的很多特殊
的寄存器不太懂，走了很多弯路。具体5、6百行程序要花我多少时间呢？
没仔细想过这个问题。
不过，今天下午算是知道了答案。
首先是总多新同学忘记存盘的教训今天居然发生在我身上。
当然我不是没存盘，而是另外的原因：我们用ClearCase做Source code control.
SourceSafe我10年前用的，CVS5年前用的，ClearCase才用了几个月。
很不理解的就是为什么很多view没有清理旧object文件的办法，也许是管理员
没设对，或者是project的makefile没写好，也许是我不知道。
总之我老也编不出来结果，只好听其他老同事的劝，新建一个view，
但是，也许是一种洁癖和追求完美（又有人说这是处女座的啥性格了）我顺手
就把原来的view给删掉了，删完了才想起来这几周写的程序一直没有check in呢。
哇哇哇哇，惨惨惨惨
只好下午再写一遍。大概写了3、4个小时，终于把那些丢了的程序重写了一遍
