It is hard to get used to the fact that I no longer have to worry about crushing a small fluffy white dog with my feet when I get out of bed.

Also sad.

You know what time it is?

That's right! It's time to pop too many generic Excedrin and write some fuckin code for 18 hours straight.

Hell yeah. [03.30.08@03:03]

It is 0716 on a Monday morning. I have a job. I have several jobs. There is unfortunately nothing for me to do for any of them right this minute. I have classes, too, but don't have anything to attend for another 10 hours or so. Yet here I am, awake at 0717.

I am benchmarking Par2 command line executables.

Yes, I am rather certain there is something wrong with me. [03.24.08@07:18]

Whenever I get terribly out of a normal sleeping schedule and end up doing things like pulling an all-nighter for no discernible reason other than "I didn't really quite feel like sleeping, so I didn't", my brain tends to end up in a Bad Place.

Today's specific bad place is "How can I simultaneously permit myself to be even more lazy at work, while actually increasing productivity?" My theory is to come up with a way to make a Ghost or Sysprep post-processing script that throws a text-message-via-email to my cell informing me "Hey, your shit's done". My only problem with this would be control. How would you control something like that? Some kind of queue, rigged to a 10 minute cron job that only throws a text message if there's something in the queue, and then clears the queue? That'd prevent it from going nuts and spamming my phone with 30 text messages when a lab finishes or whatever.

Luckily today instead of doing something crazy like that I was able to distract myself with TF2. No programming for me! Feverish programming is for Other People. [01.11.08@14:27]

Fuck.

Can't code. Need to hear back from my professor.

Can't work on stuff for one of my clients. He's too busy to answer my questions.

Can't work on stuff for one of my other clients. They haven't gotten back to me for a few weeks since I told them "Hey, send me stuff to work on!"

Can't go to my day-job. One of these three people might reply to me, and I really need to work on one of those three things more than wasting time at my day-job.

Guess I'll just have to play some videogames. [11.02.07@13:15]
