What a nightmare!

I spent in excess of fourteen hours yesterday wrestling with OpenSSL and QT on FreeBSD, trying to fix a flaw that could potentially affect our Mumble servers in a giant way. Turns out that the chief problem I was having yesterday was caused by some weirdness with QT’s runtime loader/linker/whatever, so I emailed the QT port maintainer to see if it’s something they could fix.

Anyway, the end result was I went to bed around midnight completely and utterly exhausted, and slept like I’d gulped down fistfuls of natural sleeping pills… slept so soundly as a matter of fact that I slept right through a ticket alert on my phone.

It might not entirely be my fault, my phone has been extremely dodgy lately. Yesterday some phone call I was ducking came in and I only noticed it because my phone lit up. I watched my phone as the number showed up on the screen in silence for a good 70 seconds before the ringtone started playing… 10 seconds later the call went to voicemail.

I’m thinking I might pick up a Droid X instead of the Incredible, but I still want to wait for my contract to be up so I can save the fifty bucks. In the meantime, so much hate for my phone right now. :(
