“What A Huge Douchebag” — A Biography of Sean Graham

So I had to rush a big change in for today, I cranked on it last night and this morning, and finished it this evening.. Somewhere during the day I was informed that these changes needed to be made to our “June” cvs branch. No problem, I continued working on the trunk and figured I would just move the changes over to the branch once it was all solid… But after I finished I realized that I hadn’t checked out the branch since installing XP on this machine, so I had to do that… Our tree is really big, so that took like 20 minutes….

I then began the build process, which can take a long time, and since I was actually using my machine (as opposed to going crazy staring at make process after make process returning), it took a particularly long time… So an hour and a half later (a.k.a. about 5 minutes ago) I had a fully built system and moved the changes over and tested them in the (short) time since.

Now, as opposed to sitting here for 2.5 hours doing nothing other than forcing myself to read web pages that I wasn’t even interested in, I could have done this checkout and build at home and broken in my unplayed copies of Super Mario Sunshine and Super Monkey Ball 2 which I picked up on lunch break today…

I’m a dumbass, but I am a dumbass who is now going home…
