No-one actually in range loves me (sob) so I'm going to stay home tonight and SULK. Might hit the Dev tomorrow afternoon — anyone likely to show up?

I have assembled two out of six drawers for the large piece of Ikea. I think I slept okay last night. I need to exercise with intent to get rid of the four kilos I put on being ill.

I should not have to debug developers' shitty Perl code and point out to them that if they want to use GD, then use GD::Image might be useful. Then checking GD is actually installed on the box in question. Then, when it isn't, aside from assorted stray headers and libs in the devs' home directories, get the fucker to build. ARGH.

How the hell did it get to be December? I think I've gotten a bit achieved this year, but I feel like it's only up to a June's worth.

Update: hawkeviper is in town so I'll be meeting him at the Dev as well. And arkady plans to set foot in the place for the first time since getting knocked up as well, at least for a short time. It appears to have become an event ...
