Movie
I'm watching
Reservoir Dogs. This show is all about choices. It is a
cliché that our lives are just one long line of
choices. They make up who we are. They determine whether we go to
heaven or hell. They decide how much money we make. The whole bit. I
could make a choice of finishing my program or watching a movie I've
seen fifteen times. Well, guess which I'm doing.
Work was nuts. I
had to call in a vendor to fix their own software.
It turns out they had updated a database for some guy named
Mike at our our company. We ended up identifying the trouble and I
put up a quick fix for the weekend. I'll double check everything
Monday. That was a choice. I made it and now come the
consequences.
Last night I came home and collapsed. By the time I
got home, I was so wiped out that I
couldn't see straight. (even less so than normal.) I was in la-la
land by 6:30. That was a choice.
These two
choices along with a bunch of others mean that I
haven't completed the backup program that I started more than
two weeks ago. I'm out of excuses. I chose to make it work this
weekend or else. Or else, I'll call in sick Monday and do it. It is
so difficult to come home and get work done. I don't know how the
other guys do it. They have families and other responsibilities to
attend too.
OK, I started working on the
program.
Psudocode
101
Psudocode is a list
written logically that kind of looks like
code. It won't run in any fashion. It might
look like the following.
####
Check
for this (15 lines of code)
If this is good then (5 lines of
code)
Do this (50 lines of code)
Else
Do something
else (10 lines of code)
End IF
Get user information (25 lines
of code)
Verify user's information (100 lines of code)
Write
user information to the database (10 lines of code)
####
I
have 350 lines of code so far. There isn't a bunch left. I have the
psudocode from Tom. It is a great help. Tom
wrote a section that helps scan a log file. That hundred or so lines
of code including comments which translates into three lines in the
psudocode. That's how psudocode works. There are two hundred lines in
the psudocode. I mentioned before that I'm having trouble following
some one else's vision of the program. I'm
coming to terms with it.
Maryann was the only one on the island I wanted to rescue.
