You need to know when to call it a day
As I write this I am zonked. Not so much in the tired sense but more in the my-brain-has-turned-to-a-puddle-of-goo-and-I-cant-think-good. This became more then apparent when I started asking a non-tech for tech help. God I must be tired! Of course then I began to wonder what the heck could put my otherwise able and creative brain in this state. Did I have a floating pointer hidden from my mental garbage collector? Lets recap the week in a few sentances....
Sunday - Video games (Katamari Dumanche, Grandia 3, GTA:San Andreas, Mario Cart DS, Age of Empires DS) some food etc. No, nothing to turn my brain to mush there...
Monday - Full day of work (on the stupid ass Amazon Alexa Information Service) dam thing is broken as windows. I really wonder at the sliding quality that Amazon is offering in their web services (maybe I'll write more on that in a future blog). So after full day of work its off to the university (Ryerson for you who dont know) as the CE students are giving final presentations on their Software Engineering projects and I have been asked to sit in and evaluate their work. So thats a few hours of life I sacrificed for the greater good. My brain is still functional at this point I think... a little hazy as one group put me to sleep. So after the presentations another group (not the one that put me to sleep) invites me out for beer in a way to thank me for the help I gave them this term. I'm not one to turn down a beer so off we go into Oakem House (on campus pub) where beer was-a-flowin (Ok at this point you probably think "well thats why your brain sucks you drowned it like a kitten in a berlap sack" but I assure you I thought [at the time] that I was fine... I remmeber what I did last night... (see last blog entry)
Today - well maybe I'm just tired, I woke up tired and drank sugar all day and ate candy and had some spicy chicken from BBQ Express. At any rate, I just did not have the energy to blog about tech today. I promise that tommorow you will get a rundown on some tech (I'm using the new Unified EBay Api so I'll tell you all about how I'm not using it).
until next time...
