I wrote the title for this entry before actually figuring out what I was going to say. However, now that I have the title in place I realize there are two things which have happened in the last day or two which make me feel this way:
At the end of September I will be losing my free bandwidth along with the location where my servers are hosted. My friend who has been hosting my machines for the last year will be moving out of his apartment and will be shutting down his T1. Alas I have nowhere to go at the moment. Currently I am looking into sharing some colo space but that costs money and that is something I was hoping to avoid.
A piece of advice: don't hire a lawyer to sue your landlord if you are still living in your apartment.
One of the service providers I work with keeps changing their APIs without telling me. Naturally its a lack of communication which resulted in the change occurring. According the the provider they were not aware of anyone using the API yet. It turns out though that they really "augmented" the API so that in one condition the result is returned the way I originally expected it, whereas with a small change the result is different.
Note to designers implementing a REST API: don't have the same command return a single entry in one condition and a list in another.
