I'm out of RAM

Because I work with geeks, and must attempt to blend in with them in a Jane-Goodall-with-the-gorillas manner, I have taken to describing my various ailments and failures in terms the geeks will understand. Today, I have run out of RAM. I cannot start any more processes and the ones that are running are starting to bog down and freeze at random intervals.

At least one of the huge messes I've been trying to sort out has finally gotten figured out and I can carry on with my job. Yay! I would feel much better about this if I had half a clue why everything starting working right, but I'll take what I can get and call it a win. At least I can get this thing tested and out the door and won't have to worry about it next week. Which means I can get back to what I'm actually supposed to be working on some point in the near future.

Well, that and attempting to write a best practices document. How absurd is that? It's worse that the the one-eyed leading the blind. This is more like the one-eyed with cataracts and an astigmatism leading the blind. Oh well. It's actually kind of fun, and the sort of thing enjoy doing. Trying to find ways to do thing better is always interesting.
