tricking people is easy, but so is not tricking them

so the boys over at the english breakfast conspiracy network have a cool way of aggregating our failings in API documentation. an oh, mea culpa, are we sinners. or at least so i'd heard. see, i'd never actually looked at it. i know, that's horrible. and eventually it ate at my soul (or what's left of it) and i just had to go look. or maybe i was suffering from insomnia that evening. guilt, insomnia ... whatever.

anyways ... here is what i found.

boy, they look like log files. now, maybe this is why i'm not a sys admin (wait, no that's because i generally dislike dealing with the average human being in their daily attempts to stuff up the network as quickly and thoroughly as possible; i prefer writing the applications they enjoy using in their attempts to stuff up the network as quickly and thoroughly as possible), but i have to say i really don't like log files. they take so long to go through and figure things out in. *whinge* *whinge* *whinge*

but you know what gets me going? besides a hot date or good vegan food (or a hot date with good vegan food .. mm.... hot ... vegan .... foood....

...
*drifts off*
...)

ah, where was i? right.. hot vegan food. what also gets me going are graphs that give me good overviews along with the ability to drill down and search and see progress in the components i work on. if the ebn stats were pretty like that, i'd probably be very easily tricked into using it and getting my api docs into order.

but the log files trick me into running away to blog instead. and lord knows i don't need to do more of that.

to ade, with love and squalor, aseigo... *kisses*

p.s. adridg / ade / adriaan de groot does a lot of great things for kde. he takes on a lot of what i'd consider "shit work" but does it with great gusto and an amazingly wicked sense of humour. he also spent several years in calgary at one point in his life (though not at the same time as myself). the canadian kde conspiracy continues!
