The Pleasure of Progress

Today was a productive day: I managed to get a new script working as intended.

I started this script a while ago, but it was so plagued with bugs that it often failed to compile.  I tried an old approach for resolving problems: I threw out the broken script and started again from scratch.  This time around the script worked fine.

Not only was it pleasurable to get an old broken script up and running, it was doubly pleasurable to cross off a task from my "to do" list.  Although this script is unimportant – in fact it could be considered boarding frivolous – it is still an achievement and it is still progress.  And progress is always pleasurable.
