TGIF
Today was an interesting day at work. I walked in this morning and my desktop machine was dead (looked like a dead HD. It would turn on, but wouldn’t start loading windows for anything. One might think that this would be a disaster for a software developer, that he would’ve lost all the code he’d written. This is one of the reasons why developers use some form of source code control. When you’ve finished working on some piece of code, you check it into source control and it gets backed up to the main repository. Luckily, just the day before, I had checked in all of the code I was working on so I thought my machine dying wasn’t going to be a problem. As it turns out, I had missed a couple files when I was checking in all my code. This is where I said, “Oh fudge” (but substitute another F word for fudge). I could’ve given up and written the code from scratch again, but instead decided to fight the machine to the death for my data. For the next hour or two as soon as I thought I had found a way to get the code off, the computer would say, “Oh no you don’t…” and slam the door shut. In the end, I was able to hook the hard drive up to another computer and get what I needed off of it. It was a POS anyways, good riddance!
My 22nd birthday was this past Tuesday, and Denicia took it upon herself to throw me a surprise party. I thought we were just going to see a movie, but when I got to her apartment it was all decorated and everybody was there. I’ve never had a surprise party like that before, so it was awesome. Thanks Dencia!
