Do you know what tedious is? Tedious is going through every piece of
code I've written in the last two months that uses the old way of doing
dates and replacing it with the New World Order method of doing dates.
It is not complex or challenging. Just tedious. It's taking me all
day out of sheer boredom, because after twenty minutes of it I get
restless and irritated and come over to this window to play with my
webpages. I'd feel guilty about it, but this is the first day I've
flicked since September began, so I mostly just feel annoyed at the
boredom I'm having to endure.
At least I have Concrete Blonde. I was listening to Eno earlier, and
then Jon Hassell, but this much tedium demands a strong beat.
Notable web experience of the day: The Guy I Almost Was.
Web comics. Jim sent this to me, I think mostly due to the domain
name. I seem to have a lot of sheep in my life.
Vivek just said that he was going to change the new date class to do
something very useful which will nonetheless cause me to have to go
through all of my code /again/ so that I can remove the thing I did to
compensate for the lack of what he's now writing. I make helpless
noises of frustration and turn up the music. I want to finish this
before I go home. Having it hanging over me all evening would just
suck.
