I had several horrible and frustrating things facing me at work this morning and I have dealt with all of them, including the Big Thing That Had To Be Finished by 1 June.

It's not completely finished; one thing I did is a fragile hack and I need to go find the right way to do it, and a lot of calling code needs to be checked to make sure it works OK with the new regime. But the hard part -- the part I wasn't even sure would work-- is done.

So there's that.

More about what this actual mess was, and why I had to do it, once I have the energy to write a longer entry again.
