1 down, 2 to go…

All in all, another miserable day, the best thing I can say, is I slept in until noon lol. Got dragged out on a grocery shopping expedition, and I hate shopping… This outing was also less then ideal :. Spent a fair bit of my time today working on Apache and site-software, it’s easier for me to test changes locally then work live. A least, while my servers /var can handle the dummy-databases lol. I was hoping to get everything setup before dinner, so I could either relax (if there is such a word left in my vocabulary) or work on something more interesting (e.g. playing in scheme lisp).

Any attempts at actually being productive, and getting things done when they *should* be done by, is not something my family is willing to cooperate with. I really need a vacation, a long vacation… But in the course of living, that I am being drowned in, a vacation == no work, which != survival.

Tomorrow will be a living hell at work, and the day after will consume most of the day. So I’m effectively handicapped until wednesday… before I can get to work on stuff again. At this rate, unless I quit working or my family either changes their ways, I’m never going to catch up with my home work…. And have to be on the receiving end of a tantrum, that __I__ should be shouting at them.

What the fuck is it with this hell hole?

It’s like the second it turns 5pm, it’s impossible to do shit… because it’s the time people get off their fat asses.

But never gives a flying shit, if I’ma ctualyl working on something !!!

0/ fill out paper work
1/ complete assigned work form hq
2/ test code

rest, I can’t think, I’m to busy thinking about food >_>

Oy what a week…

I can’t wait for next weekend!!! By then, I’ll be off work.. bu at least, this weekend I’ m only working lightly.

Tonights primary objective is to work on the website, for me at least. It is a very tiring subject, I like the languages involved of course, but I’d rather be hit by a truck then write code like what we’ve inherited lol.

I’m no brilliant programmer, but hell, at least I try to write robust code. Not stuff that’ll make the next poor sap to maintain it, want to fly over and kick ya ass. Hmm, oh man, what I would do if I could >_>

Chronicling the Failures of DRM

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/features/218559/the-online-music-ripoff.html

Take yourself back to the days when everyone bought only CDs. Imagine what you’d have thought of a store that sold discs that might work on your CD player now, but weren’t guaranteed to work on next year’s models. Imagine that some required you to phone the music store on a regular basis to reassure them that you were the legitimate owner, and were that store to go under, all the CDs you bought from it would one day cease playing. And once you started buying music from this store, you found yourself locked into a system that discouraged you from buying from a rival store down the street. Why, you might think, would you have bought anything from a place like that? Well, if you’re like millions of people in the UK, there’s a strong chance you already have.

All I can say is, “Burn, baby burn !!!”

I wouldn’t call MP3 an open format by any chance, but the article is interesting. DRM in my humble opinion is just a load of crap. Because anyone it is meant to actually stop, is more then smart enough (or equipped to) circumvent it one way or the other. That’s actually one reason why I rarely buy music, my opinion that the companies making the most money off of it. Won’t be happy until they’ve eventually figured out a way to charge someone four times for the same thing, then work on the next big thing, PayPerPlay hahah !!

I generally preer to have music on CD, because it lasts longer. Heh, I’d probably prefer vinyl if it was practical, but that’s a different story ^_^. Generally when I listen to music, it’s always on the computer. And I’m much to lazy to flick Audio CD’s around all day >_>

Oh how glad I will be when work is done for the week…..

So I can drown in other work lol.

The years of my life are taking their toll upon my soul. Bit by bit, more slips away.
Sometimes even the strongest light of hope burns dim, unto ash.

No win situation

Almost to the time where I should be able to code in peace. I’m to damn tired to work alnight, my family is going to make sure I’m not going to be able to code for another several hours, and guess what?

I’m already to damn tired to work at all.

resistance is futile

*SIGH*

It’s no rat fuckin’ use in this place. This morning, I as trying to get ready a few tests to see how GCJ3/4 compared to the compiler J2SE 5.0 in compatilbiity…. Only to facing a living hell from my family. Tonight I tried to sit down and tried to read Programming with gtkmm… Alas, the same problem !!!

Maybe I should just give up learning, programming, computers, [SAS], work, and living life in general: and sit in a corner somewhere, and hope the mother fuckers starve to death before I do… No wait, I’d go first, I get stuck doing to many odds and ends to do otherwise lol. –> I have a strange sense of humour don’t I?

I NEED A FUCKING VACATION !!!

The expression I’m feeling, is not one I’m familiar with in English. When translated from Italian to English, it roughly means “Damn the misery” for most intents and purposes; or as some parts of my family would prefer to say it: “mannaggia la miseria!” I however, have no idea how to appropriately express it in English by any other means lol.
