Powerless
September 26, 2007 | 11:05 amThat pretty much sums up how I feel now. Here’s the cycle I’ve been repeating on and off today:
- Run a report on Digg’s Frontpage Data
- Get upstairs, watch a bit of any of the Mel Brooks’ movies they’re airing on Sony Pix right now
- Get back downstairs, get pissed off over the fact that my system Saki (I name my stuff) is so powerless in the face of Digg that it takes 10 minutes to generate the data for a simple graph (I know I can optimize my algorithms, but heck, I want to write them fast for this. Afterall, I can use it on only one website :))
- Get upstairs again, get pissed off at the commercials
- Get downstairs, see the chart, hunt out to find some context to interpret it, and write it out in Word
- Repeat, while repeatedly losing any form of coherence you might have developed in your writing.
I apologize to anyone who cares to listen for the delay, and hope to put the first part out by tomorrow.
