Welcome to the Wackey Weekend.
What a weekend, the folks stayed until Saturday morning. LSW and Myself argued again. This time it’s about the finances after the baby is born. More panics. The cupboard is not finished but well on the way.
This argument was the worst. We were up till 1am. Tears, tantrums, bad language were all used and that was by both of us. Next morning LSW says it’s just hormones and to be fair, things have been very calm for the last 36 hrs or so, but that could be because we haven’t spent too much time together.
Other things, still no sign of Eeyore at work. It’s like he’s dropped off the face of the planet. Turned up today for a couple of hours and caught up with some work for Client Two. Hopefully this won’t cause problems to the same magnitude than the Developer’s in the states have caused, but it is new and largely untested code.
Client seven are not happy either, our system is not talking to theirs properly and so I’m digging through why. The only way I found I was able to do their work was by using the dreaded SQL Server cursors. It worked under our test conditions but there was no luck with the Clients.
I’ve also decided to enter a writing competition. The BBC is running it. You have to finish a story by one of eight leading writers. I’ll have a glance through and see what I can come up with over the next few days. The Eight Chapter of my little story has been placed on the Website. The Website is getting hundreds of hits a day. Dunno how many are reading my story but I am getting a lot of feedback.
Work on the game continues, a bug had stopped me until I’d realised I hadn’t include some supporting code. How embarrassing. I’m making mistakes only a Junior Programmer would make. *Hangs head in Shame.
