A: ...three body problem...
B: Are we talking porn, or chaotic physics?
C: There's something similar with a double-jointed...
all: *laugh*
Stupidity
When will I learn? The answer is -- 99% of the time -- something obvious and stupid. Not quite "check the computer is on", but "check you're editing the right file" and "remember in $programminglanguage you access a variable with $syntax, and $othersyntax tends to do $disaster"
More stupidity
Further, when will I get priorities straight? I think foo is the way to do something, and don't stop to think that if it's suddenly unreasonable difficult bar would be *nearly* as good, and give me time for $madeupwordrepresentingarbitrary concept. I was doing some perl scripts that do automatic building, and thought it would be better that output is simultaneously written to screen and log file. But this took ages to figure out, and while interesting, ended up being a forking[1] disaster for productivity.
Even more stupidity
My general procrastination, whether to use C++ or not, and so forth shall be reserved for future stupid[1] spod.
Dream
And I dreamt I wore a tie to work but took it off because I was hot. Go figure, interpretations? :)

Date: 2005-05-27 12:24 pm (UTC)I spent ages fiddling, and one approach was going to be a program mimicking tee but fell down because I couldn't figure out how to capture the value returned by the command.
[1] And for helping me win my bet with myself on which part of my post would get the first repsonse :)
