I don’t know where to put this entry… under Leisure or under Programming. I’ll put it in both.
Why am I asking this? Well, I just finished the last week of the semester… an exhausting week. Got home partially on foot, as I do every time when I come back from school. I always walk half of my way home, because I have the boulevard on one side and the university campus on the other side. It’s a nice blend between the green nature (in the campus) and the city. When everything gets gray because of blocks of flats, I get on a bus and go home.

Later the day I started the computer and, of course, Psi. I believe the Yahoo! transport I use was down, or I couldn’t have remembered that Psi has a bit of an annoying bug. During the nights of studying, the Yahoo transport went out and came back, but Psi set Online as my status for the transport, not my account status. My Computer Science mind, recently overloaded by somehow useless stuff, felt the need to express itself in a constructive manner. I’ve therefore started digging through the sources and came up with a patch for this problem. I’ve also FlySprayed the bug (as I normally do).

I don’t know how to consider this action… but it really felt good. After all the work for school, after all the sleepless nights, this tiny one hour patch made me feel really good. Finding the classes/functions in the code took most of the time - it was like a quest.

I did something that pleased me after a long week of work. Feels really good.

Enjoy the patch (attached in the FlySpray task). Making it allowed me to gain some more info on Psi’s inner-workings. More ideas got born. I feel really creative sometimes. Fortunately, I do write my ideas :)
