MyNemesis

I am in the midst of developing a back-end database for a Flash front-end I finished a couple months ago. It’s been something of a struggle fitting all the pieces together. I mean I have no problems with ActionScript. Nothing is tripping me up when I hook up Flash Remoting as the bridge between the model of the front-end to the ColdFusion components. Even the components themselves were not too hard to assemble.

But then comes SQL.

There’s like 5-8 words in each of my SQL statements. And it takes me hours to debug all of them. And I find out the a single pound sign is the difference between a relaxing afternoon and a frustrated search through some of the most cryptic documentation I have ever read.

But then I stumble across a web comic like this. And it’s not so bad anymore.
