Logging As Comments

One can potentially reduce code by making comments be logger notes and vise versa. The "logger" can be a text file for tracing or logging processes, but also a status-bar message for "debug mode" or internal process status messages.


        logger("Wake Up");

        while (! clockRing) {

        snooze();

        clockRing = clock.status;

        }

        yawn();

        butt.move(outOfBed);


        logger("Shave");

        razor.wet()

        face.putCreamOn();

        razor.move(upAndDown);


        logger("Get Dressed");

        shirt.Find("work",style.Dilbert);

        Etc...

I noticed this one day when my logger comments were nearly identical to my code-section comments (HeadlinesTechnique). In the spirit of OnceAndOnlyOnce, I consolidated most of them.
