Lost Inside the Framework

So, after brew­ing up a mean cup of Vons© generic brand ‘euro­pean’ hot choco­late (which, embar­rass­ingly enough, is the best damn hot choco­late I have encoun­tered out­side of the gourmet Max Brenner’s stuff Katya bought me for my birth­day {but that is a milk/real-chocolate machine, whilst this is a water-based [and there­fore, slightly more effi­cient] mix}) I got right into try­ing to rework some pages in the new site/project I had out­sourced (to Moldova and Roma­nia) in an effort to get some seri­ous cod­ing. It’s in CodeIgniter, and it is my{our} first foray into frame­works, some­thing we {the dev team (see pic above of our work­place)} have eschewed up until now as a con­fus­ing overkill of code.

Any­way, this is me mak­ing a short story long. The res­o­lu­tion is, the trans­fer from the dev server to the live-mirror (penul­ti­mate home) server caused some wild train wreck with the rewrites. It took me about 4 hours to fig­ure it all out– that is, just to get it work­ing. I did not get a chance to actu­ally change the pages nec­es­sary for deliv­ery tomor­row. Now, I am rid­ing another wave of burn-out and have no desire to work, so it’s off to bed to face the reper­cus­sions in the morning.
