thousands of years of holes
Tuesday, April 14 2009
In installed the rest of the greenhouse ceiling Wonderboard today, and then I broke down the various custom tools I'd made for the job. I have a number of boards that have been used in several different custom tools, ranging from the lift I used to get a solar panel onto the Solar Deck to the cart I'd made to transport the big sheets of insulated glass to the greenhouse to the supports I made for installing drywall on the garage ceiling. Something inside me tell me that nail and screw holes in a board must weaken it, especially as they accumulate. I imagine a board shot full of holes from thousands of years of being used in different temporary applications, but outside of such reductio ad absurdum, a board is no less degraded by a puncture than a pincushion is.
For a month now, I've been trying to track down a problem that one of the testers of a website I've been developing has been reporting. He keeps claiming that the site forces him to log in twice, but I cannot reproduce this behavior on any of the computers I've tried it on. It's become a serious issue, at least to this particular tester, and was one of the reasons we moved the site to a new host (an act that was a combination of a Hail Mary and a cargo cult ritual). But that did no good, and today I found myself inserting all sorts of data logging code into various PHP scripts, and then emailing the tester to go ahead and login yet again.
