How embarassing that I have this project done and ready to roll out, and I
can't do it, and can't figure out why.

Maybe I'll just give up on trying anything new, 'cause no matter how
simple the project, I end up getting burned and losing time and money.  If i
just go back to my simple little non-oo, non-cfc, non-reactor fusebox 3
apps, maybe I can be productive again, feed my family, and maybe, just
maybe, get a day off every now and then.  (Sorry.  I'm just frustrated as
hell now.)


Ha!  Just wanted to chime in with a little additional emotional support.

I was in pretty much the exact same situation last week.  Demo'ed some work
on monday, "ohh la la, looks good" "great, I'll upload it in a few minutes"

16 or so hours later I'm still scratching my head.  And alternately
wondering why god would do this to me. (Heh. "Did you see what GOD just did
to us man!" <-fear & loathing, da movie).

I'd moved everything into a mapping, and stuck just the application and
index files in the web root.  Beautiful!  Now my models can talk to each
other, AND the webserver is less likely to spit virgin code at random
visitors, or whathaveyou.  It feels "good".

It was a PITA, and frustrating to fall prey to a stupid newb mistake (verify
the files on the server are really the same files you have locally, SVN
repository or no), but it was one of those perfect instances, with so
tempting a red herring... alas.  I'll be falling for stuff like that
forever, I reckon.  Hopefully next time it'll be harder to get faked out,
but it'll happen again, mark my words.

The great cycle of life.  Anyone wanna join in on a akumba matatta (sp?)
lion king-esk type musical number?

Um... yeah. Maybe after this one gets solved, neh?
