Hacka, hacka, hacka...

Back at work again. I've already managed to put together one or two of the forms I need for the new way I'm doing the main view, and I think I should wind up having that whole mess done in the not too distant future, barring any more major problems. I'm going to try to get all the basics done, forms laid out and such, and then I'll go back and fill in the major portions of code that need to be done for some of the forms. I also need to make sure that I keep track of the historical data for the contracts, and that's going to almost be an entirely new module added to the little beastie. And, unfortunately, one or two of the other pieces of the puzzle are going to be somewhat problematic. The credentials view and edit form is one of the probably problem children, although I think I might be able to hijack one of the forms I did earlier to get a leg up on that one. And then adding the new annual details and figuring out how to save any edits made on the old one are going to also be rather funky. And then there is the whole "Alerts" section, where I'm going to activate a button if any of certain particular flags get tripped, like the contract having credentials close to expiring, the contract itself being close to expiring, or the contract coming up close to its annual cap amount. Overall, I'd say I have plenty to do with the day, so I should really keep myself going at it...

I stayed up way too late last night, and made myself a drink that was just a bit stronger than I probably should have, so I woke up not really wanting to get up at all, and with a mild headache. Fortunately, the headache has pretty much already passed, and I didn't have the upset stomach and such that I sometimes give myself. Which is good, because having hangover stomach combined with my current frequent stress stomach would just be a horribly bad match. I'm feeling a little better about things today than I was yesterday, which might partially be because my boss is working from home today, so I know that he's not going to walk in here and ask me to send him whatever I have done on the project. I was supposed to demo it for him earlier this week, but I've just been lying low working on it, and he hasn't asked me to show it to him. Of course, tomorrow is our weekly meeting, and he's going to definitely want to know how it's going, so I'd really like to have almost all of it done by then. We'll see how the rest of the day, and probably part of this evening, go...

While I was up late last night, I did manage to at least get a few little things done, although none of any terribly great importance. I finished copying over all of the background notes, so now I just need to keep up to date on those as they come in, which shouldn't be all that difficult. That now makes about five mailing lists which I'm up to date on, so only about a hundred to go before I'm actually up to date on all of my e-mail.

I also happened to scroll through Craigslist for a while last night looking at some of the musician ads. I bookmarked a couple of them to reply to once I get more of the database stuff done. Maybe I can actually manage to get some kind of musical thing together. That would be nice, but it'll be off in the future, and the present has to do with programming for the moment...
