As a follow up to my last post, I thought I’d post the list of brief facts about Ron Paul that came on one of the info cards. It’s really a great representation of some of the things he’s stood up for during his long congressional career.
Just a little warning that tomorrow my blog will likely be intermittently unavailable while I’m performing a couple of OS upgrades which will require at least two reboots (that I know of).
The Idea
I had a brilliant idea yesterday, and couldn’t wait to get home so I could start coding it. Things were moving along great. I had my database created, I’d gotten Code Igniter configured and running with my standard set of libraries, helpers, etc. and I was hammering away at some code.
Damnation
And then it happened. I got to the heart and soul of the application: the part that interacted with the NewsGator API. Almost instantly, my entire world crashed in around me.
What’s that? You’ve never dealt with the NewsGator API? Consider yourself lucky. Only murderers and rapists should be doomed to such a fate. The NewsGator API is by far, and without a doubt, the worst API I have ever dealt with - and I’ve dealt with quite a few in the past.
So I was on my own for dinner tonight. My mom’s finishing up painting one of the bedrooms in our house, and I’ve exhausted all my broke friends’ dinners out for a while1, so it was up to me to come up with something to eat.
