Hey - Hey,

It's time to relax before the Stress and Party time of the year,

It's time to be thankful and grateful with friends and family,

It's time to reflect on this year past, and to set goals for 2008 (while it's quiet and you still have time),

It's a time to wish others the same, and to take a breath and say Thank You for whatever you have to be thankful for -

These things I wish for all of you -

Be Safe my friends, and beware my competition... (LOL)

- Scott
(man how I love turkey, even when it's me)

Thanks, Scott...and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

We're going to my husband's sister's house and just have to bring desserts and drinks, so it should be a good time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eat.gif)

I've been writing code in betwixt the celebrating, mostly writing code. Seems like that's all I ever do anymore. I keep hearing the words somebody posted here a while back, "chained to a computer". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif)

But anyway..... HAPPY TURKEY DAY TO ALL..... and to all a good night.

Well I wasn't planning on working yesterday, other than the cursory server checks I run every morning to make sure things are working as expected. But then yesterday evening I got an email forwarded to me by a friend who has been having script developed for her e-commerce site. The (off shore) developer had installed the script and supposedly tested it, and my friend wanted me to set it up as a cron job on her server.

Good thing I wasn't so wigged out on tryptophan that I just set up the cron job and went to bed, cuz when I manually checked the script like I normally do I caught that it had a few bad paths that effectively broke the site. Totally. So not only did I get to not set up the new cron job, but I got to create my own little script to go in and fix the few thousand files that had already been fubar'd.

She'd have freaked out if all those pages hadn't gotten fixed, or worse yet if I'd installed the cron job so that it could screw up even more pages.

And people wonder why I hate Monday's right after holiday weekends. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hysterical.gif) I usually end up with all sorts of interesting problems created by other people that need to be fixed.

Well, these particular off-shore developers are supposed to be The Best for the particular shopping cart software she's using. I have no qualms with them, since it keeps me from having to figure out the shopping cart/smarty templates the cart uses. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angel_not.gif)

I just wish people would actually test stuff before sending it on to their client. They apparently did test it manually or there wouldn't have been messed up pages, but they didn't catch the invalid link paths. Any other host would have simply set up the cron job as instructed and left for the rest of the holiday weekend. Leaving the site totally fubar'd until the client got complaints next week about the site not working properly.
