Persistence is a virtue.

I done whipped that program that was giving me such a time.

That is all.

Missing two days?

   Posted by: Yoggie    in Health

My many apologies for not posting the last two days. I’ve sick and swamped. In fact, I’m still sick and swamped, but I think I can function now. Swamped, you ask? Yeah, I’ve this project that is kicking my arse at the moment, a project that involves modifying someone else’s code… code that was wrong to begin with but no one noticed that is was WRONG.

For you non-IT people, that is just ARGH! And it has all of this cryptic procedures that can only be accessed by knowing the header file (the program is in C++).

And trying to do while you are sick is even worse.

Yes, I could have stayed home and just worried my self into a coma, but I couldn’t let this slide since the deadline is pressing (it was like last week, but I could work on it last week because of server problems).

ARGH!

I did offer in the beginning to just write a simpler program that does the same thing in much simpler fashion with easier to modify code and some freakin’ comments. But we have to use what they (the vendor) gives us.

Yes, the life of a programmer is sure glamorous.
