I've tried to make new friends so many times. It's all fine provided there is a medium within which to meet someone (like at work).

Sometimes, I find it helps to make a list of each component I need to check and go through it that way, usually within the code itself and designated with # signs. Still, there will always be bugs on the first few go arounds. It can take awhile (and much yelling at the computer -I work from home) be...

Working from home helps a-lot. I work in technical support. Vocal, superficial, and over the phone smalltalk is manageable. Plus, being at home, I can stim without anyone jumping down my throat.
