frustration
Actually started working more on SPITE last night and quickly got entirely too frustrated. It's hard for me to code when I have a throbbing headache and I'm depressed. Somehow I still have to tie together 3 combo boxes and a few text boxes so that when you change any of them the rest get updated. Ick. sigh Some days i just feel like a moron.

frustation and loathing
It occurred to me today that what annoys me most about windows is the magic involved. I have about as many windows skillz as I have unix skillz and I've found that under unix when something doesn't work there is a logical answer. Under windows there often isn't. For example, I've had two brand new machines today that couldn't see 'Network Neighborhood'. One of them was fixed by adding NetBEUI as a protocol, which is weird because nothing else on our network speaks netBEUI...the other one randomly fixed itself after about 10 reboots. Like I said, magic. And not the nice kind, either, totally wild magic.
