Geeze, this is like a massive cleaning day :

• Went shopping
• Walked the dogs (as promised)
• Washed the dogs — if their looks could kill!
• Cleaned the newts tank
• Field stripped Dixie and cleaned a few lbs of dog hair out of the keyboard
• Straighted that leaning tower of junk in the corner
• Took a cool shower
• Shaved, for once before hitting a proper beard…
• Covered the car
• And finally got to sit down, around 1930Q hehe

I’ve gotten almost no coding done, but it’s still been quite the productive day!

I need to finish one program, build two more, build a mockup for a site, and I also want to work on another little app of my own… I call it ‘nag’, a note taking application to furfil the obvious purposes lool.

Time for a rest, I can’t go no more with out hitting the mental afterburners.

I’ve kicked out most of the code base for this program, and filed todos for things that are just to rough to implement immediately. And I have the necessary springboards to finish up what remains. All in all, the past 2 runs of coding, has been more productive for this project, then since the last project meeting; and that only consisted of an overview on the flow-charts! lol.

I think I’m going to hit daemonforums.org, then power down and hit the PS2 before dinner. Find a game to play, that reminds me of this.

Sigh… Thanks to interruptions, I ain’t got as much done as I desired… Still, it is about 3 or 4 * the amount of work I’ve gotten done in the past few months lol.

almost 0530Q, I could keep on coding until around 0700, but my stomach is to damn hungry… and I keep typing hhhhh every time I need to move my cursor to fix a typo. I need to find a quick snack, and hit the hay. And resume coding tomorrow, when I can still pay attention without /having/ to look up things in the flowcharts.

Sleep… food…. sleep… sleep

h = vi movement key for moving the cursor to the left one space

Finally home from work, with (hopefully) a three day weekend free — TGIF !!!

The plan of attack is to take these days off regualr ps, and go ape on my task list. Because if I don’t, I’m never going to get to work on homework lol.

1. Operation BlackWidow: An overdue project that a few of us at forums.pcbsd.org have planned
2. Operation Rooster: Finish the site mock ups for Rouge

.

3. Operation CleanSweep: Tidy ${HOME}, add more stuff to CVS as needed, revise my SOE scripts, and deploy necessary code in the right places

.

I’ve always found it easier to name a project, then have to stop and think, The “uh X,Y, to the Z, and whatever” thing; both in mind and notation!

I’ll be posting my absence message on SAS shortly, along with my cntact data. My primary goal, is to work on my own projects and standing SAS-projects. I really need to keep my head out of the servers, and on what I’m doing… So it’s best if I essentially, lock myself in front of the laptop for the weekend lol. I figure, get the work done, get the stuff that’s building up done, maybe watch a bit of TV for a change (when my head needs a rest).

This is as close to a vacation as I’m going to get, and it’s a coding vacation lol.

So far, I’ve been hit in the face with a falling mirror. It almost scored a perfect T-Shot, right between the eyes… Then slide halfway down my noise before I had hands free.

Hit in the head with the Vacuum — don’t ask lol.

And spun out of a fall, that almost twisted an ankle :

I think I’m going to sit down, and not move, until work tomorrow!

Sleep… need sleep….

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.

I really need a

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 >_>

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 >_>
