And On This Farm He Had A Blog

I'm loathe to call most technological change, evolution.

It's like saying the firefighters at Chernobyl evolved burns and tumors.

Going through the newest release of a 3rd party framework I use, I give a nod and a wink to the person who's job it was to change the name of enums FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHATSOEVER.

I used to get mad but sometimes you have to justify your paycheck. I understand that now.

Shortly, I will switch to coffee and, perhaps, a Swiss and cheddar omelette.

Add to that a few deep breaths and I should be ready to confront another day.

I'm in dire need of a vacation.

@matigo A lot of strategic planning goes into this.

Breakfast, I love you.

Screw it. I'm having a shot or two of whiskey.

@streakmachine I do not look forward to merging all of that back together under one corporation.

Why are you up at 3:00AM, Tom?

Well, we have this customer who wanted a custom logo added to their forms. Normally not a big deal. Inject the image source and header into the company database and done.

I did that. No logo. Tried everything I could think of. No logo.

It dawned on me at 2:30AM, in bed, that the logo name is stored in the company table and there could be more than one entry as each division in a large company can have it's own.

This is a five man outfit in Bumble, Virginia. Not exactly a multilevel corporation.

I check anyway.

…and…

Later today, I will call them and ask why they split a simple, five man lawn care company into TWENTY TWO SEPARATE DIVISIONS.

I'm going to have to give an impromptu, "This is how this works", lesson and merge the mess back together, aren't I?

@kdfrawg Less grease and fewer puddles to mop up.

@jussipekonen C++ is a lot like a razor blade. Useful but dangerous if handled indiscriminately.
