Just added a new feature to my Video Link Checker plugin to tell if any YouTube videos on your site are blocked in specified target regions for copyright violations, uploader preferences, etc. Led to some interesting results.

I have been working on a simple script for ClitPass for weeks. Three lines

Code:

while( $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ) {
print "<hr>test $row->{name}  $contents{id} <br>";
}

refused to execute, whatever I tried. In the end I copied an identical bit of code from another program that runs (successfully) on the website. All I had to change was the names of the rows in the database. Still nothing. So I went on fighting with it and puzzling over it. I have spent weeks on this.

Today I decided the best way to find the error was to make a copy of the working script, rename it, change the database name and row names to the ones I was working on and run it. It worked. Then, bit by bit, I deleted the bits I did not need from the old script and tested it after each delete, working on the theory that when it failed to work, the bit I had just deleted was the bit that was making it work.

It never failed!

So now I have two totally IDENTICAL scripts, where one works and the other does not. And I mean IDENTICAL, not only have I compared them character by character, but while trying to make the first work, I copy and pasted from the working script, and while making the working script do the same as the faulty script, I copy and pasted from the faulty script. They are fucking identical, yet one works and the other does not.

The pissy annoying thing is that I have wasted weeks on this. Not only has this delayed ClitPass' submit form, it has put me behind on other jobs too. I am so fucking angry.
