All in the <head> – Ponderings and code by Drew McLellan –

Struggle

You know how when developing or designing something for the web and it’s not going right, you fiddle and struggle with it for ages trying to get it work right in this browser and that browser and every browser and non-browser and it’s just not going right? Your view of the work you were so proud of previously has been seriously tarnished by the fact that you just can’t get it working.

Or like putting the first dent or scratch in your new car. I’ve heard it described as ‘knocking the god’ out of something – the thing you once worshiped or held in high regard is now reduced to something significantly less, even though it’s not changed that much.

It’s disappointing and frustrating and off-pissing. It’s a hard place to recover from. It’s not easy to set those feelings aside.

Well, I’ve been feeling that way for quite a few months now. Not because of code or cars. Something needs to be done.

I learned some potentially interesting news on Friday. Can’t say anything at the moment, but we’ll see how it goes.
