Blue Monday
Apr. 30th, 2012 03:17 pmBlue is the streak that I am inwardly swearing right now. EDS has finally managed to break an application that I wrote back in 2005 with their latest mangling of our Windows 7 installs. They seem to operate under the more things they break, the more secure the system becomes.
Today I am pouring through an updated application that I wrote in 2009, but never got approval to implement. Most of the cursing is at myself for not documenting the code better than I did. Building maps and documentation was in my "to do" list for once it got rolled-out, so today I am doing an awful lot of head scracthing in places. At least I have got it past the point of cascading errors and failures to the point where it simply doesn't work.
The first thing I am going to change once I get this thing working again is to re-write almost all of the variables with more meaningful labels.
You know spring is nigh when the dogwoods start to bloom. After our freakishly warm weather in February and March, we have settled down to more seasonal temperatures for the past few weeks. The farmers are a bit concerned over the lack of rain - especially with how little snow cover we got this year. I find that ironic, because some parts of the province are still under flood waters from last spring. It sounds like we have all of the water that we need if we could just figure out how to distribute it more efficiently.
