So today we are running around Madison to the coffee shops with free internet access on our second \"Code Jam\" this year. Needless to say, I haven\'t been able to do much coding and much less jamming today. By back is absolutely killing me.

Carrie and I went to the crack-o-practor on Tuesday and yesterday whilst attempting to get my butt of the couch, my body and I had a short discussion. I said I am getting up now, but my body said...no yer not.

Therefore I\'ve been in near excruciating pain most of the day, especially on the incredibly not-so-comfy chairs these places tend to have. Not only that, but the application that I need to be working has its database tucked ever so neatly behind our firewall at work, making any type of remote development next to impossible.

Therefore I am here to assist my co-horts with any little tidbits they need, but seeing as how they are quite a bit senior to me, my amount of help has been minimal.

Don\'t get me wrong, as I am content to sit here and sip on some chilled java goodness, but my ass is going numb and my back hurts so the end of the day is starting to look really attractive to me at the moment.

Anyway, I suppose I should return to keeping up the facade eh?
