swestrup, drama queen.

Normally, I try to stay away from the LJ-style of drama. Sometimes though, that is easier said than done. Four times in the last few days now, I've had reason to worry that something that I posted and/or said has had, or is about to have, unintended negative repercussions. In at least one case, I KNOW it did. In the others, I can only suspect. Since I see no way to find out without possibly stirring things up further, I'm just going to post a blanket apology here.

If I have done something recently that has unintentionally made your life more difficult, I'm truely sorry. Lately it seems that I've been acting without thinking about the possible consequences of my actions. All I can say in my defense, is that it was all entirely unintentional.

I'm awake, but not for long.

Its about time I hit the sack. I haven't really had the time to post much here lately. I pretty much get home, eat supper and go to bed. Then its up in the morning and out the door to work. I do try and take the occasional 5 minute break to catch up on LJ while I'm there, but mostly I don't even notice how fast the time is zooming by.

Anyway, things are getting better. My workload is less insane so I've managed to finish some tasks. That means that I'm actually now finding the time to do some of the 'background' tasks I've set for myself, such as learn PHP and MYSQL and read a bunch of relevant manuals.

Of course, once I've taught myself all of that, it'll probably be time for me to start in on learning the kernel APIs. Give me 6 months and I'll probably be able to give most of the developers on site a run for their money, coding wise. For now though, its gonna be a bit of a slog absorbing all the new stuff I'll need.
