Stand Clear: Luggage Doors Operating

February 18, 2008 at 12:37AM Why do I bother?

I’d big plans to get to come in this weekend to work to get some crap that had been slowing my progress out of the way once and for all. What happened? I barely got out of bed on Saturday, and on Sunday I eventually got off my ass and went in at 8pm. Yes, 8pm.

Then when I’m in there, do I actually do anything? Aside from a few bugfixes and some almost pointless refactorings, I got absolutely nowhere. It’s depressing. Part of the point of coming in this weekend was to avoid distractions and just work. Now I’m wishing I came in early on Saturday, bringing in a copy of the BZR repositories I have for doing work on my laptop, merged in my changes, and worked at home for the weekend. Coming into the office definitely hasn’t done me any good.

Never mind me, I’m just annoyed with myself. I’m off home...

Feb 23rd: And on the topic of thing that piss me off, here’s what I think of the stupid data-truncating MySQL server that drives this site:

I18N FAIL

The stupid thing keeps truncating stuff with non-ASCII characters. It sucks ass and in spite of my best efforts, it fails utterly.

See this is why I told you it wasn’t worth going into work at the weekend! Should have stayed at home and watched the match!

Spammers, don’t bother posting crap down here. The site is set up so that legitimate search engines (Google, for instance) won’t index pages with comments on them. Posting crud here only means you’re wasting my time and patience. Shoo!
