Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
Rock bottom.
It took me 43 minutes and 6 seconds to get to work today. By the fastest route I can muster. That’s nearly 7 days a year I spend travelling to and from this place. 7 days wasted. Life’s too short. Going to attempt to find a new job I think as I’m really not a very happy bunny at the moment... Attempted to leave the office on time, failed (again). Got some stuff done but trying to get all of this to work in IE as well as Firefox is a little tricky. Web applications are always far more complex than websites, but this takes the piss...each page is roughly 800k, and that’s no tables, nothing but pure html. It’s huge. And because it’s huge IE’s rendering engine gives out and refuses to display parts when you scroll, so I’m juggling classes about in an attempt to find the magic combination that doesn’t break IE whilst not breaking firefox too...The fucking horror. Eventually got home at a relatively early 9pm. Ate sausage in Yorkshire pudding. Chatted to Jams on cam - managed to get a driver for my webcam to work under linux, yay. Trouble is, it’s a really really shit quality driver. So amusing. So I looked like a stripy pink square for a bit, then I changed into a solarised version of me, in the end I settled for looking a bit like a grainy off colour film poster. Chatted to Jonni too - a guy I’ve been chatting to on and off for a few months now. Very much looking forward to meeting him, he seems lovely. We’re going to (hopefully) go on a proper date and everything Bed a bit later than I wanted to, but hey. Still in linux, still not booted back into Windows. Still not bored of wobbling windows just for fun. Rar! Work dull. Lots to do. Bah
