Brain... Tired...

So the rough code for the entire intranet site is done now. Something like two and a half days (and eleven and a half liters of Coke) to code the entire thing, front and back end and build the database tables from scratch.

Taking a break to poke my head out of the project for a bit and surf the web for a few minutes before I start going down the testing checklist for it and make sure that I actually coded in all the features that are supposed to be in there.

Something below freezing out right now. Found out my furnace had completely ran out of oil earlier this week so my house has been heated by space heaters since then. One built into the bathroom wall means I don't have to worry about the toilet seat being so cold my arse freezes to it. The other I move from room to room as I travel about the house.

What started as one plumbing leak ( the cold water line to the water heater ) turned into three. The first one I ultimately coughed up a few bucks for a new LS-203 hose and replaced the hose and teflon tape and it is fine now. But then one of the hot water valves above it blew the handle off and started leaking. Had to turn the water off again, let the pressure drain out, and replace the valve head on it. Took a cold shower, went back downstairs to move laundry around, found the floor was wet again. The drain pipe from the shower had shifted / broke and I had to get a rubber pipe-wrap-thingy (brain just fuzzed on its proper name) to fix that.

Apparently my lottery ticket for Wednesday's Powerball drawing wasn't a winner, as the jackpot is even higher for Saturday's drawing. Whee, the lure of mathematically improbable wealth.

Supposed to be doing something in CoH later tonight. Have to get food before then, get further down the testing checklist so I don't have to stay up all night on it, and then haul the server to the client site to do the install on it tomorrow and probably re-write some of the back-end to be tighter while I am there. Fun part will be writing the script to pull their old tab-dileneated accounting database/text file into their new accounting system.
