Syntax Overdrive

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!

Live…

I didn’t sleep for two nights in a row. I know it would’ve been better if I had, especially after being seriously ill for a whole week. Monday -last week- I decided to work on my website and once I’ll start working I can’t seem to stop. So guess what; I ended up working all night long without taking breaks nor getting some sleep. So no wonder the cold I already had turned into a nasty flu, bad cough, nice wheeze and all. I’ve only got myself to blame. I also had to sort out the html marketing email that day which I promised to design and build for MvdM. his company.
Anyway last night I did the same stupid thing. I’m still not feeling well and I ended up sorting out my website. I really wanted it to be done, it has been too long already and I need something new and a clean design online. So I have again been working for two days ignoring nature’s call for rest and instead drinking lots of coffee in order to get the job done. I must say it is a true great feeling to finally have it live and online. There are only a few tiny little things that I still have to fix and add [another link] but it can wait. I had such a drive last night and the night before I used up that little energy what was left so I really need to get some sleep now!
Later today I will meet up with IvS, my best friend from Scotland who is coming to London with husband FvS to visit the Chelsea flower thingy tomorrow and so tonight we are going for dinner somewhere near Covent Garden. They’re staying at some fancy hotel for the night. Another reason for me to rest… Now go over and have a look at my brand new design and surprise me: let me know what you think and please be nice because I SO deserve it.
