Sept 17

Today is a bad day.  Struggled all morning and got very little done.  Very disturbed by the whole Oskar Groening thing -- it has gotten under my skin.  What do people think they're accomplishing by bringing charges against someone who's effectively gotten away with the crime?  (uncharged for 70 years and now he's unlikely to live long enough to see the trial)  Meanwhile, crimes like that continue to happen all the time in present time.  This isn't about justice or making the world a better place, it's about someone showing off and flexing their muscles by attacking someone who can't defend himself.  Of course, now I'm frustrated that I let such a thing distract me from work, which make the frustration worse.

Finally forced myself to take a bike ride this afternoon.  Head has cleared a bit as a result, and I'm hoping to get _something_ done with the last few hours of the day.

I'm infinitely frustrated with the fact that I'm craving something to eat or drink, but I can't figure out what, and nothing that I have in the house to eat is appealing to me.

Google is really getting on my nerves.  They don't try very hard to be accommodating to the developers.  First, they refuse IC for "designed for tablets" and give me a complete bullshit answer when I point out that their designed for tablets stuff is broken.  Now they arbitrarily decide that I have to have a physical address that is publicly available.  Check this response from support out:

"The notice was just announced, but the functionality doesn't exist yet.

By September 30, 2014, you'll be able to add a physical address by going to your Settings page on the Developer Console (https://play.google.com/apps/publish/#ProfilePlace)

I hope this helps. Did you have any other questions for me today?
me 5:14 PM
So ... I have to have it done by Sept 30, but we don't know when I'll be able to do it?
Murphy 5:14 PM
The option will be available on the 30th of Sept."

In the end, it turns out that I'll have 30 days after the 30th to add my address.  Interesting.

No workout tonight due to schedule issues.
