Hitting the Brick Wall

"Yesterday.. all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks like they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday...

Suddenly.. I'm not half the coder I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday, came suddenly

Why the program won't work I don't know, it wouldn't say
I did something wrong, now I long for yesterday..."

My apologies to the Beatles. But the above lyrics were stuck in my head a good part of today. Here's why: I took yesterday off (tuesday) to work on my DMP website (which you can view here). My thinking was, "Hey, I'm making really good time on this project, I know what I need to do next, and it's best to get this website thing out of the way at the beginning of the week rather than at the end". Good thinking right? right? right.

Well. Today was absolutely unproductive. I fixed all of one bug, only to have two more pop in its place. In addition, I realized I had not thought out completely how to continue what I wanted to do, and I genuinely feel stuck. I badly need to talk to my advisor, but I will be meeting with her tomorrow, so hopefully by then, I'll have things smoothened out.

That's all for today. Let's hope tomorrow is like yesterday and that I'll be back on track :-\
