Rants: Everyday Venting

[George]

I wish people would actually test their software before releasing it.

I wish testing software was easy, especially concurrent software.

Doing a concurrency assignment as we speak and the problem with these sort of problems is you they're not very deterministic, so you could run the program 100,000 times with the same initial conditions and each time it will work. But then one in a 100,000, with the same conditions and everything ok, you might end up causing an error and failing. And it's difficult to find these bugs and chances are you may never ever find them until you've already released the software.

0bviously you can't test for everything, but I'm talking about when someone releases something totally broken and it causes major problems under normal conditions. I installed this mod for Fallout that overwrote not only some of the base files, but also replaced my carefully-tweaked ini's with the creator's ones that were pretty much default.

woooo... apparently, a therapist thinks I might be depressed!  which is quite fun /sarcasm/ at first I was like Me? no. I have plenty of people who love me, I have a decent enough life, why would I be depressed?
theeen she like said things. like how it could be a chemical imbalance in my brain. then, I understood.

My head is a jumbled mess right now

I had a panic attack today that lasted for about an hour. Barely got anything done in algebra, slept through a movie in first period, then slept through an entire lesson in world history. I need to start sleeping more.

Hate when I try to "help" sort out technical problems and end up just whining, whining, whining. I know that pointing out problems is what leads to their fix, but it ain't fun.

[Poli "Lissy" Drax]

Low and behold, the day of idiocy, immaturity and gullibility. Forced jokes, unfunny pranks, stupid remarks and all-round idiocy from many different people I hold respect for. And, of course, I should sit back and let people enjoy today, because hey, no-one likes a party pooper. Not like today has ever been anything but an annoyance for most and a stupid little joke for everyone else. So very sick of it.

[Trixsie Vixen]

I really try to be positive and do good things, put myself out there when I do something so people can appreciate it.  But I just can't get past the fact that I hate myself and no amount of love from anyone seems to be able to stop me feeling that way.


Just being trapped in my own head makes me feel sick.


I'm my least favourite person and I just can't stand feeling this way.

[George]

So. Much. Incompetence. My past few days I've hated certain software developers more than I knew I could hate a stranger.

[Grey]

I hate the fact that I can't get away from drama, or avoid people piling their troubles on me. I have my own problems too and just ranting and raving at me isn't going to help anything. I left the house just to get a few hour's freedom from it all and people are STILL able to pull me down with them.

[Cheza]

I always get this creepy annoying feeling that every time just right after I've connected to some IRC-channel all conversations stop just because I'm there, even if I have never been on the channel in question before... x-x'

If it's the forum IRC you are talking about, don't worry. Everyone is idling most of the time.

So many great expressions on my characters' faces in my mind, but I can't draw them as expressive, and that makes me mad.

[Trixsie Vixen]

The muscles in my back are aching from coughing.

l hate when things go wrong with me or loved ones that are completely out of my power. It's depressing and discouraging.
