      I misspelled Ammendment Actually the spelling error was a few weeks ago. Today was spent replacing every class, reference and text reference under source control with the correct spelling. It really didn't take more than about 10 minutes but man were there a lot of references.

      I hate it when I do that or start questioning simple words being used to represent something. Like the work 'look'. You know you need a break when you question the spelling of something that simple.

            Answered the phone to my sister. That's another hour I've spent performing remote technical support on her computer and internet connection. It's gotten to the stage I can visualise her computers registry entries.

                  I always leave debug = "true". I get better error messages from my error handler if it is set to true. 99% of the time I get the exact line number of code that caused an exception.

                  I didn't get any requirements for the signature

                    Well nothing that daft - I mean, who does? - but I did get into an argument with a tin of corned beef and ended up with several severely lacerated fingers. Bloody key broke halfway around the tin leaving jagged metal edges of just the right sort of jaggedness for causing GBH. What is it with corned beef tins and their stupid trapezoid shape, anyway? What other food products come in trapezoid tins? I'll you, none. Do you know why? Because it's a bloody stupid shape for a tin, that's why. And what about if the key breaks? What ordinarily equipped kitchen has a tool to deal with a trapezoid shaped can with a broken key? I'll tell you, no kitchen has that. So did I get my corned beef sandwich? Well it was just fortune enough for me that after five minutes of bleeding all over the place I hit upon the idea of using a hammer and chisel to open the damned thing. The corned beef turned out to a little bit rare given the addition of my blood into the mix, but by that time I would have eaten just about anything.

                          I spent too much for new belts and some maintenance that I probably could have had them deduct since it may have been something they missed last time they worked on my car. I think that's the only dumb thing so far but still some work day left.

                                      Couldn't figure out why a stored proc suddenly started failing after moving a bunch of columns around... Todays lesson is brought to you by the optional column list in the SQL Insert statement. :doh:

                                          I mailed out two packages to customers. Then I discovered too late that I had switched the labels amongst the packages so they are each on their way to the wrong place.
