I’m a person who gives ridiculously great importance to small things. Sometimes it’s a bad thing – I notice every little thing, meaningful or not, and sometimes it’s a good thing – it doesn’t take much to make my day or make me happy. I’ll give you an example, and you’ll understand a bit.
Today’s Monday. Everyone hates Mondays, I’m no exception to the rule. I think that Mondays are life’s way of getting payback for a nice weekend (I believe that’s a quote from Sean Coates or someone else on Twitter). So I don’t have high expectations for Mondays. However, I had a pretty good Monday! It started by getting to work, finishing in 3 hours a task that was estimated to 4 hours – then figuring out what I’d do for the rest of the day. I didn’t have anything assigned, so I ended up working on my Subversion/TortoiseSVN talk I’ll do on the 29th. So while working on that, I had to search for some stuff in the PHP Manual. I remembered I had seen a news posted on the front page that said a new system was online. I guess at that point the evil marketing influence took over, and I suggested on Twitter that someone should redirect all the pages to docs.php.net if we wanted to use that new system. I had it wrong though, but that’s not the point. The point is that Rasmus Lerdorf, the PHP man himself, corrected me. It kinda warmed my heart a little that the big guy was talking to me. I guess that’s a bit of fanboyism, but whatever. Last time Rasmus talked to me, he was autographing my laptop at the 2007 PHP Quebec Conference, so it’s an improvement 
I know, it’s stupid, but it’s a little thing that just makes me happy, even if he’s telling me I’m wrong and I can’t read for shit.
