Morning Coffee Notes

Wee, once again I force myself to scribble down some MCNs. It’s a habit I forget about all too often, shame on me.

Back in the office… Pulled another long night on the desk yesterday, this one project has to be done, and since it’s my project… oh well. My co-worker is yelling at me for doing this much overtime, sure, she’s right, but someone has to do it, and I gave my word.

Finally got around to test Syndirella, a nice and actually useful no-fluff desktop RSS/RDF aggregator. Definitely recommended! In case you’re interested now yourself, do yourself a favor and download the latest build which can be found on the dev’s weblog. Good stuff, I like it.

Need haiku? Go here.

It’s easy – EVERYONE can do it!

Thanks to Soraya for the heads-up, and m@d propz to the unknown author of the image – whoever you are!

I nearly wet myself when I read this last sentence. :) If you have ideas and suggestions for the two of ‘em, head on over and help them out.

Amazement

Everytime I think I’ve seen it all, I open another PHP script of that one special co-worker of mine and find myself staring in painful amazement as I read thru the schizophrenic gibberish that is his code. No real structure, fucked-up yet working hacks built upon older fucked-up yet working hacks, no abstraction at all, and a mess in the first place.

The irony is that in order to rewrite the application (that’s what I’m trying to do at the moment) I have to understand what the old code does. Oh, the pain. Days like this one make me wish I was a bagman or a goat.
