I managed to make some progress on the refactor of the RSS feed generation code yesterday. Lots of head winds from some very sparrowy sparrow people. In fact I suspect they might have actually been tigers acting as humand acting as sparrows, which sounds kind of insane, but there you go. You can sense the tiger pounce all the way through to the sparrow layer. It’s the most deviously passive aggressive thing ever, you have to constantly be chaging your approach to things. It’s virtually impossible to make progress, but it’s possible if you code quicky but adding placeholders for the bits you don’t know yet. I say quickly, and in a sende it is, but you end up wasting much more time than you save long term, because everything ends up feeling like you are walking on egg shells. It’s very difficult to describe.

Anyhow, I got the main logic outline written. I need to go back over it and fill in the missing detail.

It’s a bit cold this morning. I’m quite hungry. The weather looks like it might be clear skies. #

Regular walkers in the park shout 'No!' at me while walking past while trying to run me off the path, followed immediately by one of the motorbike mechanics from a garage next to the internet place walking past also shouting 'No!'. Looks like worldo is angry again. What did I do? I sat quietly all morning listened to a few podcasts and posted some links. Seems like hateful aggressive harrassment to me.

It apears to have started by a woman calling me a dog as I walked a few meters away past her. I have no idea why, I didn’t even look at her, but she chuckled and said 'dog'. The food vendor woman I went to next did the same thing, and the next shop slso had a pop at me ordering me to 'up!', same at the next shop by another female staffer. Don’t try and tell me these events aren’t linked in some way. Of course they are. It’s intimidation plain and simple.

It doesn’t bother me that much, but the problem is that they always keep escallating until it gets dangerous. #
