This place has also been drying up.

The perfect Dry Martini is 3 parts Gin and a gentle nod in the direction of France.

But is it Gordons or Beefeaters?
Or do you prefer to drink a Juniper bush run through a chipper? (Hernö Gin[^])

It's pouring down, so the cat wants in every five minutes to be dried off (and if you don't want a soggy computer, drying him is a good idea).
I'm going down with a cold, and feel like wet noodles.
And I've just spent an hour trying to track down an obscure bug in the reporting code.
Only to find it's not in the code, it's a data error.
Which is worse, because there are all sorts of checks to ensure that bad data doesn't get into the system in the first place, so now I have to work out how and why they got bypassed, which is going to take much, much longer than fixing complicated code...

That will teach you to question the wisdom of someone who is related to lions and tigers.

That's nowt.
Mu viscous hound caught a squirrel yesterday and had got quite a way through the torso before Mrs Wife separated him from it.
In unrelated other news, he was sick all over the kitchen last night.

Well, think of it this way.
- It'll eventually stop raining and the cats will be dry.
- You'll get over your cold
- You'll have discovered the data issue.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

But at least it wasn't YOUR code. Elephanting customer can't follow a spec.

A little part of my home automation is based on a raspberry Pi running a web app. Since I am on the DIY track, I installed a Debian distro out of the box (= downloaded an image from the internet) and ... linux is a real PITA. I have to write a sudo command in front of all other commands just for rights elevation (Really ?) or continuously switch between root session and own session. This packages thing is completely cryptical. You have 10,000 different solutions to a same problem, depending on the 10,000 different tastes of your operating system version. Elementary things are requiring 5 configuration files to be modified, either with root or normal sessions (but not both). Some files with dot-seprated-filenames-parts are actually directories and no files.
Mind you, I had to do everything over the command line because of ssh remote connection, so it is probably easier going over the desktop.
But I still think this remains a geek activity. There is nothing out there that makes you want to deep dive into it, unless you have countless hours to lose doing and redoing the same all over again.
