I’ve been too distracted to concentrate on much of anything for the past couple days … The daily thoughts will pick back up when my brain is clear again.

I’m not exactly sure how it works for most of you programmers, but I’ve come to the conclusion that how well I code is directly related to how happy I am. For those of you who might’ve talked to me right after that Bowling Incident, you would know that I was extremely frustrated because I couldn’t get anything done. Now, one week later, since things have “changed” I’m now back in the saddle and throwing together good stuff in small amounts of time.

I’m sure most of my readers would remember the find_file() function I wrote, not too long ago, that I’m using in the CDE to detect and verify “configuration stuff” … well, I lost it with that other server, so I had to re-write the actual function. Well, I made an improvement to it this morning, and with about 5 minutes of coding I added wildcard ( * ) support to the function.

This example shows the find_file function detecting conf_global.php (IPB), the find_file.php file, and all files that match class_*.php …

Update: Lewis inspired a bit of a change. The find_file function’s return array now ties the files to the path and the url they’re located at.

All of the best things come from Japan. And anime is no exception. Anime rules.

The daily thoughts have actually been dragging lately. If you notice, I’m just barely able to squeeze them in. Maybe my brain will start functioning properly again, soon.

All I can think about is “When can we go?” Not so much because I’ll be going to Colorado… but, other reasons.

There’s a lot of things in life that are especially worth waiting for … If you can’t get them exactly when you want them, be persistent. Be patient. If you should really have it, it’ll come to you of its own accord.

… and sometimes you can find someone that makes you happy, even when you’re not looking that hard.

Just a word of advice to all of you. Don’t ever bowl when you’re pissed off …

… it ends. (Warning: This entry contains some explicit language.)

I’ve often thought that when you fall in love, it’s not a feeling that you can think. It’s a feeling that you know … That comes from deep within your heart. And you just … know when you’re in love. Because it’s not a feeling of the mind, but a feeling of the heart, it can be one of the most wonderful feelings ever imaginable … or it can hurt more than any kind of physical pain.

This daily thought is a forward into the next entry that will appear shortly …
