Knackering
We’ve had a busy weekend. Little Miss is beginning to sleep through the night. She’s just beginning to kick the cold that’s been plaguing her. She still’s get grumpy and colicky but it’s a great improvement over the last few weeks.
I wish the same could have been said of things between myself and LSW. Sunday morning I was given the choice of making a cup of tea or changing a nappy. Being grumpy and tired, I said I’d make the tea and that upset LSW. She really wanted me to change the nappy. So she got into a foul mood and basically made me feel like the dot above the ‘i’ in the word Sh*t!
Things sorted themselves out by the time some friends turned up in the afternoon but I was working out how much lawyer fees would be in the meantime. Thank goodness for our friends, they were completely able to diffuse any tension and by the end of the day we were best of friends again.
Work on the FIL’s website has been held up by problems with an Access Database. It seems that between XP, .NET and file permissions. I can’t access the database from the website, even by using ODBC. I’ll have to dig through the Help to get these things working. I’ve got to get this website working by the End of the Week, otherwise I’ll look a bit of an idiot.
Work has been strange. I’ve got a VB project to do and getting used to VB6 after 2/3 years of ASP. It’s a culture shock how easy some things are. Client Five kicked off quite badly on Friday night. It was a nine PM finish which meant I missed Campman’s leaving do. There are a few things left to do to knock Client Five on the head (i.e. finish the project) but the worst of it is over.
I’ve been working on AI for the mobile game. It’s a lot harder than I thought but I’m working my way into it. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I’ve still got some small issues regarding the hot seat version of the game which I really should get out of the way though.
