Gah! Can I have a better day today?

You talk to a Developer. I am perfectly happy with the little desk I have here.

Yesterday was a stupid day: my reading glasses fell apart, and so I had to scrabble round on the carpet looking for a teeny, tiny little screw (without my make-little-things-bigger glasses) until I found it, then it wouldn't go back in without spinning round and round uselessly. OK, trip to the opticians, get 'em fixed. New screw, spinning round and round...Oh oh... Took the nice lady about half an hour to fix 'em, no charge (which was nice) and then found out I am due another eye test (my mother had glaucoma so I have to have annual tests instead of bi-annual). Ok, arrange that for later in the week. Pull out of the parking space to drive home...clunk, clunk, clunk... :wtf: Don't go home. Go to garage. CV joint has gone on the right front. They will order the parts, in today, will fix it tomorrow. Get home, and realize that it's lunchtime Monday and due to the two appointments I didn't know I was going to get, I'm already over a day late for the week... :sigh: Then 1AM, I'm woken by Herself yelling at the smoke detector to shut up. Not, you will note, by the smoke detector, or by Herself dealing with the smoke detector - just by her yelling at it from the comfort of the nice warm bed she is not about to get out of. Get out of nice warm bed. Open smoke detector, remove battery. Back to bed. *BEEP* -yelling- Get out of nice warm bed. Open other smoke detector, remove battery. Back to bed. *BEEP* -yelling- Get out of nice warm bed. Look at both smoke detectors with torch. Neither have any battery or mains connector. *BEEP*. It's the Carbon Monoxide detector. Locate. Can't find battery. *BEEP* It's screwed together, so lights on, find screwdriver, open. *BEEP* Can't see battery. Get reading glasses, read sticker on *BEEP* inside: "no battery, when it beeps replace whole unit". *BEEP* "Cut this wire to stop beeping". Scissors, scissors...cut wire. Ahhhh.... Back up to now cold bed. Herself snoring away like nothing was happening, myself now wide awake... So I'm now over a day behind schedule, tired, and just a touch elephanted off! How's your week going? Good I hope! :laugh:

Probably - but it's low priority. We got it when we were using the solid fuel burner, but we stopped a few years ago because it was too much hassle (and getting very expensive). At the moment we are on electric storage heaters, which don't produce CO anyway, so it isn't urgent.

Are your oven, water heater, and clothes drier electric too? The gas versions of them can produce CO if broken.

The only way from here is up right? :) I managed to get 2 articles written and posted but I need to finish another project I started last week and am almost finished with but keep finding excuses to not finish. I've got a Beagle Bone Black coming end of week and if the project is not done by then I'm afraid it will be put off for some time.

Yes - we live on what used to be an island between an canal and a river (the canal is now a road) and there is no mains gas within about a kilometre. We could have bottled gas, but...it'd have to go out the front of the house as there is no rear access due to the river, and that means going through 2 foot thick granite walls which is...um...entertaining (and hideously expensive!)

Finish it first! If you don't, it's take twice as long when you do get back to it (and you'll be wondering "why did I do it that way?" if you're anything like me...)

Yeah I'm kinda the same way! I've put off doing one section because I just haven't been able to wrap my head around it and it's not that hard a problem. I've worked with this section of code a couple of times and want to create an elegant solution but nothing I've done seems to work so it's back to KISS! I'm the kind that puts off what I perceive to be a problem until the end and then when I do do it turns out to be easier than I thought.

You are lucky, if the bed were still warm then there must be another man in the wardrobe :laugh: I just want to say... IT COULD BE WORSE! ;P

Down to the last little bit and I've been putting it off but am going to finish it today or tomorrow because I've got a Beagle Bone coming end of week and...well you know! :) I was trying for an elegant solution but I think I'll just KISS for now and if I come up with something later will put out an update. One of the reason it's taken so long is that I went from db4o DB to SQLite and I want to make sure it's stable so I've been doing a lot of QA.
