I'm melting, I'm melting...
Mar. 12th, 2003 10:35 amThe weekend really cannot come fast enough, I need a looong lie in and much snoozage. The -insert colourful terminology here- code I'm am working on at the moment is driving me semi-nuts, especially since I don't have all of it to work with, it's erratic and inconsistent, half of it is uncommented and it makes the spaghetti junction look organised - and I didn't even write it. I hate when I can't crack a problem like this, it begins to worm it's way into my subconscious and drive me even more batty than normal; which may end up with me having the heresy of thinking about work outside work hours. Work for me is something that I do 9-5 and then forget about as much as possible. Yes, hopefully it's enjoyable, non soul-destroying and doesn't require that I commit heinous acts against humanity (although letting anyone use this program is possibly approaching a crime against sanity) but when it comes to the end of the day work = something to generate cash in order to live, laugh, have fun and forget about those 7.5 hours a day of my life when I was trying to get towards the end of the day and escape.
But I think I may have found the problem in this code, a semi automated rounding function sneakily put in before some data conversion? Ohhh thank you very much. Bah, should of guessed. Measuring in frikkin' inches for a pixel based display, they're mad I tell you... mad! Whoever designed this code really should be tarred and feathered.
Bah. Code is art, like it or not. Or at least I like to think of it as such, you have your style, your ideas, your macros and formulae you carefully work on in order to produce something that people will use, while not even needing to see the routines, data, systems and whatnot that bubble underneath. Mind you most of my code likely qualifies for abstract art.
I really need more sugar.
