Jan. 31st, 2002 02:17 pmOkay, so here I am at work. Supposedly. I think my brains are dribbling out of my ears. Two nights of red bull and staying up late are taking their toll on me - I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Bopped the alarm at least four times.
<GEEK MODE>Managed to get my program into some semblance of order - it will soon be able to cope with dynamic page linking decisions as well as dynamic content. Struggling however because of aforementioned brain seepage problem...</GEEK MODE>
<RANT>ARGH and ICQ is really beginning to piss me off with the CONSTANT spamming by shitty advertisers! I have had 11 already today!</RANT>
<ULTRA-SAD MODE>Oh god. Okay my life is over. I have begun encapsulating all my paragraphs in mood tags. Sod it, perhaps I just ought to write an XML-DTD for my life.. double sad points to those who know what the hell I'm talking about ;)</ULTRA-SAD MODE>
..i think i'm just going to get on with my work now k?..

Jan. 31st, 2002 10:12 pmOoh looks like the sh1t's about to hit the fan. Of course it could all be rumours blown out of proportion but there are murmurings of disgruntlement in the senior management at Orange about the project I am working on. This isn't especially bad news for me - even if it gets axed I will still have a job but the prospect of being back on the bench and hunting down other projects really isn't a thrilling one. Plus it also means that I will then become a more legitimate target for our own company's ruthless 'cost saving exercises'...
Ah well.
Tonight I went to Area 51, a comic store where they play games in the evening sometimes. It was full of the usual geeks, but I thought it might be fun to try something different for a change. I was wrong. But hey ho, I got to drive Andy's Z3 there and back (took the long route obviously). Burned up this Mercedes - left it in the dust ;). Before you say anything it was over a distance of about 300 meters in a straight line and I slowed back down to 20-30 to go around the roundabout at the end of the straight, so no big deal. It was my bit of fun for the evening.
I shall not make the mistake of tanking up on caffeine again tonight.. I actually want to be able to get out of bed tomorrow and go into work.
