jamesqNothing like pulling your hair out trying to figure out why your code don't work only to discover that the badly-written documentation for the offending API call is contradicted by the actual source code of the API call.
It does exactly what it's supposed to, and the documentation says it does something else entirely.
Gah!
In other news, I whine too much. I need to work on that.
And now, a joke:
Little Red Riding Hood is walking through the forest. A cute little cartoon bluebird lands on her shoulder and whispers to her.
"Little Red Riding Hood - don't go into the forest! The Big Bad Wolf is there and he's going to suck on your titties!"
"No he's not," said Little Red Riding Hood.
a little while later, an adorable Thumper-like rabbit hops up to Little Red Riding Hood and says, "Oh Little Red Riding Hood, you shouldn't be in the forest now. The Big Bad Wolf is here and he's going to suck on your titties!"
"I'm not worried at all," said Little Red Riding Hood.
Finally, Little Red Riding Hood is deep in forest. It's dark and SUDDENLY THE BIG BAD WOLF JUMPS OUT IN FRONT OF HER.
"Aha," cries the Big Bad Wolf, "I've got you and now I'm going to suck on your titties!"
Little Red Riding Hood quickly reached into her bag and hauls out a book of fairy tales with one hand and a 45 Magnum handgun with the other.
Pointing the gun at the Bid Bad Wolf, she says, "You're going to eat me like it says in the book!"
