programmi...

programming day today. came into work and spent the day typing trying to get my damn program to work. at around 11 it seemed to be working perfectly, i fed it the the complete dataset instead of the small test set that i had arranged, and suddenly it stopped working all together. an hour of debugging later, i discovered that either the database had suddenly changed an all uppercase table name into all lowercase, or the program had suddenly begun to care that it was lowercase. this irks me, the one thing i like to be able to count on is that the computer is going to behave the same way each time i run it. and i swear that this up and changed on me somehow. anyway, at 1:30 decided that i needed to eat, and grabbed lunch, in which the only notable item was a dove bar that i found encased in about an inch of frost ice in the back of the freezer. it was either that or the ice cream sandwich of approximately the same age, and i went with the dove because its in hermetically sealed plastic.
