Creation

aphonia said (in a private post, so I won't link to it)
(The) Problem is, translating the obvious and beautiful metaphor into actual, honest-to-god action on the physical plane.

And that is why I became a programmer.

Because I love creation, but I'm all thumbs. Programming means you can always take it back. You can always restore the backup you made, change the code to fix the stupid mistake you made, and give it another go.

If only real life was like that.

*hugs*

I'm sorry yesterday was extremely difficult for you. If there's anything, *anything* I can do, let me know, ok?

Thanks

[andrewducker]

Thanks very much for the thought.

It wasn't as bad a day as it could have been for me. I suspect it was a worse day for Hugh, what with him having to deal with Meredith.

I'm just going to wait and see how things unfurl and try not to get too stressed.

Would Hugh think it particularly odd if I sent him a hug, then?

Good question

[andrewducker]

I dunno about hugs, but sympathy is always nice :->

I think that alot about messy fuzzy things like plastic bags,

frex: I'm filling a bag, I want to be able to SetBagToOpen and fill it up, I don't want this messy half closed , try to nudge it open with the stuff in my hand.
