Disappearing source...blech!

alexpgpFor a programmer, there is perhaps no agony more exquisite than to go looking for the most recent version of an application one is working on, only to find no trace of that version anywhere on one's system, one's backup system, one's backup tapes, one's backup CDs, in short: anywhere. I would begin to believe that perhaps I only imagined making the most recent mods, except that I have, on a separate diskette, the version of the application that proves the pudding and mocks my best configuration management efforts.
It's almost enough to make you cry. I suppose the next step will be to sit down and reaquaint myself with the behavior of the new features in the program, but not now...I'm too annoyed.
On the other hand, at least the hunt for the missing source - and the associated general cleanup that has filled two HUGE trash bags - has kept me indoors, while my fellow citizens have faced temperatures that feel as if it's 114F out there. Yikes.
One other positive note, though cautious: the Windows box hasn't rebooted on its own after running for almost 19 hours. (Somehow, that shouldn't sound like much of an accomplishment, but as I mentioned yesterday, this machine has been a royal pain as far as that, um, `glitch' is concerned. As much as one might presume the problem lies with Windows, in this case, Microsoft is innocent; the machine used to reboot spontaneously with Linux installed, too.)
Tried the chorizo a little while back. Nice. Not as hot as one would expect, and little pieces of pepper tend to stick to the roof of the mouth, but nice.
Time to go relax.
Cheers...
