Good

Working too hard. No, not working *hard*, working behind schedule.

Such as when you spend an hour tracking down a bug that turns out to be a combination of "not having enough debugging in your script" and "It's *there*, how come it doesn't run?"[1]

Working like that makes me grumpy.

But then coming back from tesco's with overloaded shopping bags that burst, and a lady actually hopping off her bike to offer me some replacements, makes me momentarily happy. As does crusty bread, hard cheese, and plums.

So thank you to anyone who does that.

And not thank you to anyone who yells "Fuck you, why the fuck aren't you riding?" across the street if you push your bike, unless you have a good reason.

[1] Running an exe needing a dll over telnet seems to fail silently?

Update: edited to add feetnoot. They will be the death of me.

More fun

Aha!

Q. I say, I say, I say, when can a program produce an area of memory logging its state when the code to do so isn't compiled in?
A. When it's on a chip that isn't powered down between runs.

I hate being tired :)
