Workity work work
Posted by Chip under Work
It’s Sunday and I’m back at SimPro working again. Hopefully this dialer stuff will come together today and everybody will be happy. If it does work, I finally get my Sony Clie to replace my Palm III, which I’m going to give to Andrea.
Yesterday I also worked, and resolved a stupid little problem with an empty field in a XML file being translated to an empty hash ref in perl, which broke things when my script assumed it was a scalar and tried to insert it into a database. I should probably do better type checking everywhere.
We also eventually played D&D last night. Jason decided to push it back to 8pm without bothering to tell me or Dave, claiming he told Derrick to tell us. That’s why he’s a bastard. But we did eventually play, and it was fun. Hopefully my mage will go up another level at the end of the next session.
Derrick came up with the idea that since the X-Files is becoming crappy anyway, what with the whole Scully’s baby is Jesus thing from last season, that the 3 Lone Gunmen ought to take the guy from their series and befome the Four Horsemen. He and I figured that the annoying dumb guy can be War, the tall guy with long hair can be Famine, Frohike can be Pestilence, and Byers can be Death. It would be funny, and might save the series.
Anyway, I should work now. Hopefully this will all be done today, and I’ll be able to have dinner with Andrea tonight. I’d like to go see a movie or something with her, but she has to go to work at 7am tomorrow to setup for a sale or somesuch.
