I swear to God, my thought processes are just completely hosed. Big block of if-elseif-elseif stuff in my code, and the first, most basic case, the one that couldn't possibly be the problem because it's so damn basic, I blew. Completely. I return a particular variable at the end of the function call, and in the base case, I created a whole separate variable, just to be careful. and of course, this variable promptly falls off the map and no damn wonder I'm never getting anywhere but better with debugging tools. fsckinghell.

*grind grind grind* Nope, that's not my brain's gearcase, that's more coffee.

Been listening to Tom Waits this evening. My _god_ that man is messed up. Maybe that's why I've been so hosed. He's surreal in a way that most of my stuff is not, and disturbing in a way that makes Manson look tame, because he's less over-the-top, more... dark and brooding. Real twisted.

Woot! It compiles. It's 3AM again. I feel a vague desire to sleep, but an equal realization it's not going to happen with all this caffeine in my bloodstream. I've got it working to a basic level - I haven't pushed _all_ of the operations into place, but I know that's just cut-n-paste. Maybe I should take the time now to figure out how to get it to print out object code _right_ as opposed to just having it spew-to-screen. Oh, and fix the prof's lousy-ass flag system. I don't think this guy's ever heard of getopts. Sigh. I'm still buzzing a bit, never did get that irish, wanted to code straight thru and now the coffee's all cold what's left of it.

Mexican Food

All right - To date, I've had Jynx and Mark express an interest, and they're pretty mutually exclusive (suck) due to one needing to be somewhere at 9 and one not getting off at work till 8. Can I get a tiebreaker somewhere in here?

Again, it's Mexican Food - probably Izzy Ortega's - and it's a get together with friends and enjoy Cinco de Mayo two days late kinda thing.

Mexican Standoff

Or stand-down perhaps. Wednesday looks busy for at least two of the people I'd want to do this with - jynx and Crim - and I haven't had time to give a call to a larger group, largely due to personal unconsciousness post-coding. So I'm going to sit here tonight and relax, unwind, and reschedule for Saturday Evening. It'll do better. If I'd been fully self-aware, Id've done it last Saturday, but hey.

Saturday, Izzy Ortega's (unless something better is suggested). Time flexible.

By Hoopy_Frood, of Everything2:

Okay, picture this: God is interviewing for the position of Supreme Being of the Semi-Infinite Universe. So far, God has nailed every question, and the Transfinite Meta-Gods are pretty impressed.

And then, they ask: "If you were a vegetable, what kind of vegetable would you be?" God thinks about it for a while, trying to think of strong, benevolent vegetable, and says: "Well, if I had to choose, I think I'd be a cucumber."

"Um. Yes. Well, we'll call you"
