It's Very Monday Out Today

[billroper]

No, nothing too horrible has happened. It's just that feeling of being nibbled to death by ducks.

Even for December, it's been an exceptionally gloomy day. Low, gray, oppressive clouds that caused the headlights on my car to come on, that sort of thing.

I spent more time wrestling with Visual Studio .NET 2003, which has now introduced me to a behavior -- which one of my co-workers was already familiar with -- where you just can't actually trace into a routine when you're debugging and stop at a breakpoint. Step In, Step Over, neither actually works. Instead, they just throw you to the end of the function that you're in, making actually debugging unlikely.

I fixed a few bugs in some of the new code I'm working on. I managed to redesign another chunk of code to fix an entirely different problem that someone found a while back. It's not like it was a completely unproductive day.

It's just cold, gray, and annoying.

Have you considered the wonders of reading in front of a full-spectrum lamp?

Maybe I'll stand under the full-spectrum kitchen lights at home tonight. (I put those in for Gretchen, who tends to have a moderate amount of SAD after too many days with no sunshine.)

Commiserations, Bill!

I think I retired from the coding biz just in time.

Thanks. They say the next version will actually be useful for VC++ coders. I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival (sometime next year).

It's gray here too

I completely sympathize. It was actually sunny this morning, when I went in to teach...but I guess we used up our sun quotient for the entire day in that 20 minutes, because it's been blah all day. *sigh* I miss the sun.

I guess it's a trade off. We have lots of sun shining on 2 feet of snow :).

I wish you sun soon...without the added snowfall :).

[billroper]

*eek*

With any luck, we'll get sun sooner than 2 feet of snow would melt.

Good luck to you!

lots of sun but...

Winnipeg has lots of sunshine this morning. I was up and out around 6:30am thanks to an early dentist appt. It was still black of course but once dawn arrived it shone out brightly, very brightly. The sunshine Nothing like a crisp -17.4c to clear the air. We have only a couple of inches of snow but it has been here since the end of October and will likely still be here in April. :)

Ah, nothing like sitting underneath a Canadian high-pressure dome. :)
