I hate Google for making me grab my monitor and tilt it in order to see the "delineating" background on paid search results (ie. ads).

Dev. Moment: What a lot of code that does things. How do I make it also do my cool thing- without, like - learning what it actually does?

Does anyone have any experience with NovaTime timekeeping software?

The prepackaged software my client is considering had a lot of merit, but I'm worried that it won't scale and will form a data silo.

The work day was much better than yesterday. No emergencies, just heads down work. I was able to build a prototype data access base class.
