Up to Main Index Up to Journal for November, 2013 JOURNAL FOR THURSDAY 21ST NOVEMBER, 2013 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: More parsing DATE: Thu 21 Nov 21:24:39 GMT 2013 Spent time Tuesday and Wednesday working on the front end parsers some more and actually managed to login, something I haven't done in quite a while since pulling everything apart. Things are not working properly yet - logout is broken so when you try to login a second time it thinks you are already logged in :( However as I keep on writing and rewriting the parser code it seems to be improving in quality and simplicity. This is good as maintenance will be easier and other people should find it easier to work with as well. But... There's always a 'but' isn't there? Where do they come from? Having spent two long evenings coding I had a sudden thought. One of those 'Ahha! Oh bugger...' moments when you realise there is a better, simpler way of structuring the code and making things work - but it means more reworking again. Still I hope to have some spare time this weekend to do some extra coding. In the meantime I'm carefully assessing my 'Ahha! Oh bugger...' idea to see if there is an associated 'Aww crap...' moment close behind. This is when you realise that after all the excitement your brilliant plan actually has a subtle flaw that trashes the whole idea and you're back to square one again. -- Diddymus Up to Main Index Up to Journal for November, 2013
