Syntax Overdrive

Posted on by

I’m tired… because I have been working till 05.00 in the morning three days in a row. I’m coding a form that needs to send and retrieve data from a database from within a secure CMS and I’m this *showing about 2mm between thumb and index to you* close to getting it to work… *aargh* The problem is that somehow jQuery/Ajax is not triggered or the database is not triggered and I really really really don’t like debugging. I’m obsessed now with solving the problem because I’m so close and such a determined stubborn goat.

I don’t mind coding but when I get like this it just reminds me again why I am a designer: it’s safer for me because I don’t spend that many nights in obsessed-work-mode getting five hours of sleep or less. Nor does my brain go into overdrive not knowing where the breaks are, seeing endless lines of syntax in my thoughts and looking for solutions. Today I’ll focus on the design again, it’s instant result which is what I’m in desperate need of at the moment and a codeine for my triggered-by-a-lack-of-sleep headache.

Time to be good to me: a break and a Thai noodle soup…

Yes I heard some of you dearies out there but you know what I’m like… *hehe* thanks for your concern!

  1. Good luck with the debugging girl :)
    BTW, I love the quote you have posted of Isabelle Holland…just fantastic.

  2. Thanks dear :) I stayed up till 06.15 again this morning and worked all night but I have the code fixed in a secure way without exposing all the database info and need to debug just a tiny bit more. I’ll get this done today ;)

    Cool quote isn’t it? But it’s about time I change it for something else :) I can’t remember where I found it but I really liked it. Oh yes: it was in some Zen newsletter that I receive every week, it has all these words of wisdom that I’m in need of every now and then, so when I find something nice I’ll share it :)

    Hope you’re good! :)

  8. Optimistic note for the day:

    One day hawks will be a thing of the past.

    And perhaps there will even be good shows every evening…. maybe not always so quiet though ;-)
