Day to Day Log

The last 24 hours have been quite productive even having had an evening off to go out for a meal! Once again Mistral has proven that while it gets some things right, it is far from a reliable tool. In hindsight if I had simply done a normal search the right information in relation to submodules in git would have been at hand. That said, debugging the material the chatbot produced in the latest thread HAS given me a better understanding of how the whole process hangs together across VSCode, gi…

Ignoring all the time wasted this morning on chasing the tax refund ( See the rants blog ), I actually had a quite successful morning on the code base. I had been getting my knickers in a twist partially because I was trying to shortcut some of the process and as a result my own code base was being corrupted.

As expected it reset the temp directory to it's preferences and I had to flip back to get the new build running, but nothing else seems to be broken. So I moved over to the server and ran the same update, but was a little less successful.
