If at first you don't succeed, skydiving ISN'T for you...

I hate putting all my eggs in one basket. I finally got enough of my database scripts together today to run the first stage tests. Guess what didn't work - gee, what a suprise. Projects got a soft deadline of Friday, with an initial demonstration on Monday. Which, incidentally, is the same day I need to make the system available to our contract in Cork.

All things considered, I amn't going to be able to go to NYC until Sept. Well, maybe mid-late August. This sucks. I was supposed to be there already. On the plus side, my clearing the year means I have the time. On the other hand...well...I hate deadlines. Most especially the whooshing noise they make as they fly past.

Anyway, lets look on the good side. I got my new internet connection working today, along with the wireless access point, which had been giving me a headache and which was like *this* far from becoming a WIRED wireless access point. But hey, it's working now, so go me.

Actually...geeze if that's the best I can come up with this week...I am having such a sucky week. And this country isn't supposed to get this damned hot.

I have a new icon, and I've taken this quiz, which so many people are taking. Mainly what amuses me is that my little sister doesn't even appear in my evil plans...

Speaking of which, I read back through her archive last night when i couldn't sleep. For more details of this ongoing saga, refer to her LJ [info]maeritrae

I'm perverted. sweet! This ties in nicely with my result for your sister's other meme, where I firmly placed in the deepest circle of hell.
We have a wired wireless network here, maybe you can look into that, September would be good for you to come and visit, and as for time, well, we would have weekends, plus i get off at 5:30... We'll talk about feasibility and logistics later, but know that you're still welcome.

Excellent.

1) I quite like wired wireless networks - they're far more reliable, and I'd love to lay one, but my mother strongly objects to wires anywhere in out house. But god I would love to lay CAT-5 cables to my sister and my rooms. Imagine the multiplayer possiblities.

2) Fantastic. Then I'm going to go ahead and book tickets for the very end of August or early Sept. I'm planning on staying for between 2 and 3 weeks. What do you think yourself?

What database? And whats the project?

And that always happens, I had to have a database up and running by last Friday for a soft launch and I did, but do you think the designers had the front end webcode ready? *grin*

Oh, I'm developing an on-line database based version of a service we provide at training seminars. The idea is to reduce the amount of paperwork necessary as we increase the number of attendees.

It's MySQL and PHP, and I'm practically certain that I've just made a stupid clerical error somewhere. I've only just learned MySQL, specifically for this project, and I'm sure I've beggered it up somewhere.

Oh, and guess who's also developing the webcode? I'm the entire IT department for the Chambers. Which means a great job title and a fantastic C.V, along with the variety of tasks to keep me interested, but also means a fuck-off workload.

Well, if ya need a hand with the mysql give us a shout. :)

And I managed to hand off webcode to different folks here so that I don't have to worry about it but get to poke holes in it where they missed bits.

I have removed my earlier comment cause I managed to miss-spell my sister's name. Which is kinda embarassing.

Anyone else who's reading, don't you wish you knew what made her grin :)

[info]deannawol

July 14 2005, 13:08:53 UTC 6 years ago

*grin* Yeah, but it took me ages to spell it right... I'm still sure that I have no idea how to say it!

[info]oduinn

July 14 2005, 13:13:46 UTC 6 years ago

may-er-ree-tray.
Apparently.
At least, she said that was close enough.

Okay, do you have some form of instant messageing that WON'T involve a chain of comments covering half a page? If you don't want me to have it, that's fine. If you don't want to post it, you have my e-mail from my profile.

Funny, I always spelled it like mah-eh-rih-trah(long accent on this syllable)-eh. I guess that's what you get with "I spell it as is reads" native language.

And hands off my knife-totting lieutenant! [-(

Hey...turns out you probably know better. Or so She says. Damn you.

Clearly that's because I'm busy with my own scheme for world domination. Between us we've just taken over more than half the world.

So you did find the RP, then?

I'm almost afraid to ask, but did you at least avoid the entries with warnings on them?

[info]oduinn

July 14 2005, 13:05:56 UTC 6 years ago

I think you'll find that I've taken over more then half the world SOLO.

And I don't know what RP stands for. Although I *did* find lots of comments on me. And I didn't see any conspicuous warnings either. Except there was one thingy labeled "Don't click on this" or something, which I consider suspicious, and probably gross.

[info]maeritrae

July 14 2005, 13:11:53 UTC 6 years ago

Oh, you found the comments. On you. That's ok, then.

Yeah, well. It's a place to rant, y'know? Like after the wasps' nest thing.

[info]oduinn

July 14 2005, 13:15:56 UTC 6 years ago

Oh no, allow me to clarify: Among other things, I find lots of comments on me. Those I don't mind so much - I'm used to you bad mouthing me, and spreading your Anti-Bob propoganda :P

[info]maeritrae

July 14 2005, 13:21:18 UTC 6 years ago

What...other things?

[info]cygny

July 14 2005, 13:40:59 UTC 6 years ago

You're actually making more than only your sister curious with these comments. Care to share with your Eastern lieutenant? :D

[info]oduinn

July 14 2005, 14:34:32 UTC 6 years ago

I think I'll go through them with sis first. Then maybe post a new entry.

Wow. I've just installed MSN messenger.
I'd sworn I was never going to use that bloody thing. Oh, and I hate Microsoft too.

I feel so dirty...

[info]cygny

July 14 2005, 14:40:29 UTC 6 years ago

Ewww, MSN messenger! You should have gone for Yahoo Messenger, much more user friendly and much cuter smileys :P Very important, that.
Will you post your id in your user info? Not that I'm on any messenger very often and on MSN even less than yahoo, but still, if I happen to bump into you...

....

I don't think I like being told to wash before meeting someone. I am extremely well bathed, and my personal hygiene is exemplary.

:P
Wench.
