danger smells like clean socks

During the past few months, I've learned to not ask people for advice. Maybe it's just me, but most people have nothing insightful to offer. At all. And I've discovered that most people solve their problems on their own pretty damn well.

In any case, this goes doubly so for technological things. Maybe I'm just not asking the right questions, but no one's really been able to answer the questions I've had regarding some general programming concepts. I guess no one knows enough about specific things since it's kinda insignificant, but I'm a neat freak that has to know that everything is optimized.

Whenever I ask a question in a tech forum about a problem I'm having, I never receive a good answer. It's always something generally unrelated or it's something that's covered under the original posting (e.g. I'll say "I don't want to do X" and someone will reply "You should do X").

It's not a bad thing. People want to be helpful, but they usually just can't help, so they feel "hey it's better if i say something." and it's true. at least i get a sense that people are _trying_ to help.

My head hurts. And I'm seriously getting out of shape. I really am. I've joked about it before, but I'm starting to get a belly. I need to start biking again.

If only Tabulas would finish itself ... I think tabulas 1.0 may come out by weeks end. :)
