Good

[jack]

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.

Maybe I'm blind, but where's your footnote referenced?

I'm guessing off sentence three, but I don't see it either :-)

It's where I put it, which I think is sentence #3.

But pedantic people might say "Working too hard" isn't a sentence or[2] ""It's *there*, how come it doesn't run?" *is*.

[2] Well, xor.

[mair_in_grenderich]

well, I was counting full stops. and I'm grumpy and have no cheese, bread or plums, so I win.

Neither do I, now.

Seriously. The first time I miscounted and thought you must have been being pedantic, and by then it was so funny I couldn't take it out when I recounted and decided you were being sensible counting.

Though now you come to mention it, is the . at the bottom of a ? a . or not? :)

Was it a tall thin young man that looks like a horse? If so, he's just bitter because he kneed himself in the chin riding a bicycle the size of a rollerskate, outside my house, in public yesterday, and lots of people laughed.

LOL. No, it was a few weeks ago, it just fitted into the rant.

But you see why I always assume there's a reason :)
