I couldn’t really find as good a quote as I wanted but this does describe how I feel about apache-xmlrpc – It did what I wanted in such a convoluted way that I’ve managed to switch implementations and accomplish the same level of sucess in a few hours that have consumed a few days.
The learning process over the last few days I’m sure helped make the turnaround time possible but I’m still positive I’ve made the right decision.
I will make a note though that some of my quotes just don’t seem right coming from someone who’d been in fear of layoffs for sometime – I think they might be concerned that someone goes postal if they get laid off and any quips like the one above can probably be misconstrued.
It was a successful work day though I’m glad to have killed one path to success to get on one that’s infinitely shorter.
