The things developers say

Posted March 12, 2007 at 07:03pm in Programming

I found a post saying 10 phrases developer say when their software doesn’t work and I thought I would share.

10. 'That's weird...'
9. 'It's never done that before.'
8. 'It worked yesterday.'
7. 'You must have the wrong version.'
6. 'It works, but it hasn't been tested.'
5. 'Somebody must have changed my code.'
4. 'Did you check for a virus?'
3. 'Where were you when the program blew up?'
2. 'Why do you want to do it that way?'

and finally ...

1. 'I thought I fixed that.'

I say those, haha, but I think this describes it better

if (strlen($theword) == 4) {
	$whosaidit = 'Me';
}

How Tired Are You?

Posted March 12, 2007 at 11:03am in Life

I am this tired…

Tuesday night I got about 5 hours of sleep and then had to drive 4 hours and come home to do some work.
Wednesday night I got about 8 I think.
Thursday night I got 4 hours and had a meeting 1.25 hours away
Friday night I think I had about 7 hours of sleep
Saturday I worked and got about 6 hours of sleep that night
Sunday I worked from noon to 6am Monday morning, took a nap till 8, took another nap until 10:30.

I have a lot of work to do today once my login issues are fixed. Then I have to learn Joomla faster than a kid learns to pick his nose and then my next post on this topic will be

3/12 - 3/23, 4 hours of sleep total.

I would be tired, but the money could buy me a lot, haha

My Old friend the command line

Posted March 12, 2007 at 11:03am in Software

Well I guess I can’t say old friend since I use the CLI more now than I ever have, but I have another application I have started to work with from the command line. During my interview for this new projects they asked me if I had CLI experience with Subversion and I got worried at first that it would keep me from getting the job, but the developer interviewing me said he was starting to move into the CLI. Huge relief, but if they feel their is a need to use svn from the CLI then I should probably learn it. The CLI client actually isn’t that hard, when I first thought about it I said to myself, now how the hell do I commit 1000 files, I’m not doing that by hand. Running a “svn ci svn://url” will actually commit every changed file so it isn’t bad. Since most of the svn usage I get is on my own machines I have very little experience with merging, so I will have to play with that a little and feel confident before I start merging.

Right now I am waiting on my login information because I can’t get in with what I have, I really really hope it isn’t something on my part and makes me look like an idiot. It is important to me to make a good impression with this group and not being able to login wouldn’t look good. I have tried svn, TortoiseSVN, web, the trac server; every method I can and none of them will go through so I am thinking it is not me.
