Midnight Coding
Oct. 7th, 2002 09:16 amNothing like breaking your MUSH after bedtime. On worknights, I try to be in bed by 11, asleep by 12. Not being very tired last night, at 11:30 I sat down to try to fix a little glitch which had been bugging me for a while.
At 11:45, the biggest and most oft-used programs on the MUSH failed. Totally and utterly. Oh god. This bit of code had literally taken me *weeks* to write. It's giant. I'm afraid of it now, I hardly understand how I did it all. At nearly midnight it stopped working. Since people were online and needing it, I stayed up to try to fix it. I couldn't, but I got a workaround in place to let people continue overnight. This morning I got up and with help from the TinyMUSH list got it working again... at least to the point where it had been before I touched it last night.
So the glitch is still there. I'm poking at it now.
Carefully.
