Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing

  

Procrastination and Perfectionism

Symfony’s making my head hurt and I’m having deja vu. I start looking at different PHP frameworks full of excitement akin to a hungry baby glancing at his mother’s ample bosom. Some three hours late I’ve spent two thirds of that trying (and failing) to install and configure APC simply because the check_configuration.php script flagged it up as a warning and highly recommended installing a PHP accelerator like APC. Can someone change my nappy and put me to bed now please?

there is this thing called ‘J-store’ that allows one to access lots of philosophy journals online. (..) it would be nice to be able to access it at home. I may want to work late into the night on this referee job. To access J-store at home you need to set up something called a proxy-server.

(…) seven or eight hours later I am done setting up the proxy server. Maybe I am done because I have managed to do it. More likely I have given up because every time I think I have done it, it doesn’t work, or my screen goes blank. But one thing I won’t have done is start on the referee job.

Then what happens? I go on to other things.

I’ve half-started so much shit my sandbox svn repos is looking more like it’s full of fucking kitty litter.
