Back from lunch… One of my friends rang earlier asking if I wanted to meet for lunch… Why not – what else am I going to do? Work? When he arrives he told me we are going to Sizzler’s since it is his birthday… OK – Sounds good, although I was not planning to spend so much time out and about today… I should say that I did get back from lunch at some stage before 3:30PM… It is just that we were talking about various projects after lunch, which as always is enlightening.

What this means is that I am now about four hours behind in the work I was planning to get done for the day… Not complaining mind you, but I am behind. The work I was doing this morning was going really really well, despite telling me that I had 102 errors in my code at one stage. I have been working on breaking up the code to display new mail messages in my software. At the moment the code is really bulky and horrible, so I am trying to split it off so I only need to worry about the interfaces to this code most of the time.

Normally this does not become much of a problem, but in this case there are close to 1000 lines of code that someone else has written, which to be frank was confusing me a lot. The code is now running, but more cleaning is needed before things are in a suitable state!
