It's heeeeerreeee. I've been hit

It’s heeeeerreeee.

I’ve been hit by the coding mania. I’ve been waiting for this to hit me again for quite some time. It’s this awesome feeling where I don’t have to sleep and I can be in front of the computer for hours, days even. It’s got its weird side effects. I pace in the shower. I’ve chewed my finger nails down to nubs. That’s okay though. It’s a great feeling. I caught it last night when I wrote the Blogmailer program. I don’t like the way the code looks though so I really want to rewrite it and make it pretty, especially some of the perl regexs I’m using. Right now it needs a lot more exception handling put in. That’s definitely not one of perl’s strongpoints, and I’m not up to speed on perl’s more esoteric functionality.

In spite of the limitations of blogmailer I’m still brimming with energy. I was up till 4am last night and I only went to sleep out of respect to my body. I had to just lay there for a bit while I relaxed. I woke up again about four hours later, but again out of respect I forced myself to sleep a little longer till about 10:15am. When I woke up though I was still thinking about ways to work around Blogger’s limitations to add more functionality to my blogmailer when I just said “Fuck that. I should just build keo so it does what I want it to do.”

Phase 2 just landed.
