GAAH its after midnight

and I cant launch processing because I need the data genius/perl guru to build one more grib to netcdf converter than he bothered to do while he was at it. Oh well the work won't run away before monday. Possibly I can write the converter using one of the other data types as a template? Too tired and way TOO late to deal with it now. I have to be in Estes Park by 9am tomorrow. Ugh, finding my way there on a short night sleep will suck.

I can read every one of those words and yet, have no idea what your talking about. grib? netcdf?

Hope your day at least went well.

yes, that one was definitely strictly a personal diary post. GRiB and netcdf are two different binary data format types. Bottom line, I didn't launch a job to process a monthly batch of data because only 5 of 6 software programs that need to be updated have been dealt with by the software engineer.

Ah, so your having problems because someone is lazy.

He isn't really lazy but he has a habit of wanting to be indispensable (he was at IBM before) so he writes cryptic code at times and says that he should just do binary data conversions because he understands them better than anyone else (instead of documenting or showing someone else how to them) and then he gets stretched too thin, but still it makes him a choke point for things sometimes, and I get frustrated by stuff like that.
