Complain, But Even Better, Fix

Posted on by

Pick the right things to think and talk about. Complain, but complain well. Work hard to make sure that the right people can hear and understand your complaints. And actually, if you’re going to put in so much effort, try to think if there is any way that you yourself can fix it.

Some things, you just can’t fix. Never say never, sure, but those things might take tremendous amount of time and effort to even find out that they weren’t fixable from the beginning. Even worse, you find out that they weren’t even problems. Draw the line, cut your losses, and wait for technology to catch up to your vision. And do something else in the meanwhile.

The world is filled with problems; tackle the ones that are are within your ability to fix. Or just beyond them, so you can stretch further. Don’t go stretching too far: But remember, the further you reach, the more you might be able to fix.

Complain, but even better, Fix.

I’m trying harder to complain less on the blog, but fix more in my projects. Less talk, more code.

Quite A Bit Of Work

Posted on by

So much work in the past couple days, coupled with the fact that I’m still trying to cope with the insane flu I caught while coming back from Seattle.

I am now fully hosted on Slicehost. I am afraid for my server’s life, hoping all of my server administration was done correctly and without holes. It was fun wearing the sysadmin hat again, and for such a long time too… definitely learned more about how the heck Apache worked… never ask me to write up a virtual host file up again, because I still don’t know why it didn’t work the first time.

But yes, things are mostly back to normal here. Still have a couple plugins to set up, a few UI changes I’d like to make, but definitely liking how the site’s a lot snappier than it’s been in the past. Here’s to my 256MB slice holding up okay.
