coding

Well, today could be seen as a continuation of yesterday, I suppose. Except that today what I'm doing is trying to take three World of Warcraft user interface add-ons that sort of do what I want and weld them together into one that does precisely what I want. The reason why I need to devote a day to this (and also why I said trying) is that while it is strictly speaking accurate to say that WoW's UI is basically the same as an active web-page processing the information handed to it by the program behind it, the reality is much more complicated.

While the scripting language has it's similarities to javascript and this implementation of XML roughly parallels HTML, they are both different enough to cause confusion. Add to this my rustiness with this type of coding and the commenting skill of the makers of the three add-ons I'm trying to deconstruct (They're almost as bad as I am about it) and this is taking far longer than I had anticipated.

Back to the data mines.
