People have asked me how my day was today. My response has been: “Not bad for a Tuesday.” Needless to say, that got me a few odd looks. Okay, not really any more odd than usual, but you get the gist.
I worked yesterday. That’s right: On. Sunday. For 10½ hours. I went in to do some work in our server room. It was supposed to be a quick in-and-out job, a few hours tops. In theory. The practical application, however, turned out to be far worse. Jason and I fought the not-so-much-flying-as-ambling spaghetti monster that forms our connection all day, from 9 AM – 7:30 PM.

It was wonderful.

The racks tried to eat our hands. Seriously. Our hands look like we’d been in a pretty rough fist fight. That was solved, or at least ameliorated, at lunchtime when we picked up a couple of pairs of work gloves. Hallelujah! We finished up with things looking a lot better than when we had started. And, we even managed to make it (relatively) easier to deal with the wiring in the future.
Today, I got a new challenge/question for something to add to the PHP project that I’ve been working on. I’m looking forward to seeing if I can make it fly. I also tried something out that I didn’t really consider until this weekend: Using a function to handle a repeated MySQL query. I call that specific query about fifty-leven times, so I decided to make it a function and just call it whenever it was needed. The cool thing is: By using this function, I can trim about 150 lines of code from my program… and that’s pretty damned slick, in my book.
Tonight, I went with Buzz… Stingers… Bees games, they won.

We also saw Cars this weekend. “Ka-Chow!” It was a fun movie. There was a bit of drag (as in “time standing still”, not “racing”) in the middle of the movie, but I don’t think that it detracted from the movie, overall. Note: If you haven’t seen the movie yet, stay for the credits. And,
