I decided to rant a bit about My Stuff and nobody would actually would know what I was talking about anyways.
Today was a lesson in futility. I spent 4 hours reconstructing a friendly ol' JNLP distributed Java program's Ant build system so I could chop the data layer in half and put half of it on a remoted SOAP accessable web service. This would make the application launchable over the internet and properly secure... instead of the direct JDBC access which would currently have to happen over the internet, which would of course be unacceptable.
However, I got deeeep into it and realized OOOPS. The entire UI is bound very tightly to the data layer. There is no way to make this work correctly except to REDO the entire fucking thing. 4 hours down the tube.
Why does Windows suck so? The last few remaining Windows systems we have are having ENDLESS problems with Samba. Unix workstations are super when dealing over insane protocols such as NFS and such. Why does Windows have to be such a bitch with it's own insanity?
Programs crash randomlly, without releasing their file locks, Outlook + PST files are an unspeakable mess. Who came up with this crap? Ugh. CDO has funny threading issues which cause it to "hang". And of course you can't fix this... you can just start whatever process it is you are doing over again. Woe as me.
Welcome to Tuesday.
Oh I'm thinking of going to HOPE this year. Any opinions on that? Is it just full of script kiddies and idiots or do people actually have indepth cool conversations and stuff?
