It’s a Cardoe-Back

Cardoe wrote this terribly early in the morning:

Just re-covering things I’ve ranted about before or discussed before…

MythTV… yeah well… reading through the code for that mess pains me so bad so rather then start a documentation process it’s more of a rewrite stuff sanely. So basically I’m going to be submitting huge patches which will promptly be rejected by upstream. Basically upstream needs to be forced to take some classes in OBJECT ORIENTED programming. Because they should be offended to use an OO language and be so damn procedural and repeat/duplicate so much damn code. But hey, according to upstream I’m just that idiot Gentoo guy… so what do I know… Here’s the first hint… stop embedding the SQL DIRECTLY in every spot in the code it needs to go… That way table/database layout changes only require 1 place to be fixed… in the SQL class. But hey… you wouldn’t know about inheriting and the other benefits of classes. For some details on what I’ve done… Cardoe’s MythTV patches

Gentopia… or Utopia…

Our bugzilla alias is utopia@gentoo.org if you want to tack us on any bugs. Things are going well. I think we’re getting a pretty stable set going. There’s a handful of fixes that need to happen. I’d really like to organize and focus a little better. But that’s something that I hope to do this week/weekend.

I’m that guy…. :( Got this from bash.org

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you’re a great guy, but I don’t like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we’re not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we’re going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn’t work out, we’ll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

And lastly, remember life is about taking the lemons you’re given and learning to make lemonade and then help those around you by sharing your lemonade. I sure feel like I’ve gotten my share of lemons lately (I’m probably the poorest damn college student now… I can’t even afford Ramen) but I’m doing my best to make some lemonade.

    I’ve also been burned in the past by MythTV devs. I’ll try to follow your MythTV patches. Can’t promise anything, and I don’t know if I like all your proposals, but anyways.

    btw, your site lives at cardoe.com, so the link to Trac should read https://dev.cardoe.com/myth/ (this is less clear if you read your blog with an RSS aggregator and/or from Planet Gentoo).
