work, dinner, movie

May 21, 2004

Work was so-so today. I got some stuff done, including some things that should, I hope, fix some pretty big problems. I also took on another pretty massive project, but I feel good about my ability to make it work. I need to put together a little overview about what projects fit where in the big picture. I think there’s some confusion, even on the part of my boss. I know it’s because I haven’t bothered being really clear about how I think everything should work. In the end, nobody really needs to care but the coders. We’re the only ones who’ll see the dotted lines separating the projects.

So, I complained that Bryar isn’t making my life full of roses and cherries. A large part of that is my own fault, I will admit. The problem, in summary, is something like, “Bryar takes care of all the hard stuff, but now I need to write all the easy stuff!” I had written a DataSource and Document class, but they were pretty hacky. So, my blogging experience has been meh. Also, I’ve been using WikiFormat, but only sort of. I really want Mint, but I didn’t want to wait or to implement it myself, so WikiFormat was a reasonable alternative. It was just annoying, in a few ways, and didn’t map everything I wanted.

I’ve been sick. I still feel pretty meh and tired. I’ll update this more later. For now:
