Good day. Duke men and women won in the tournament, Krissa and her mom cooked a great dinner, and we had dessert at finale, a spectacularly decadent dessert-focused restaurant. The chocolate and ice cream martini was the least outrageous thing we ate. I’m still on the border of exploding, an hour later.
I had a fun day today, doing more bugzilla stuff. I can’t claim to have fixed all of these but I had my finger in a number of them. Just very nice to be able to do concrete stuff, going through a bug list and actually fixing stuff myself. Been too long.
The future possibilities [...]
I’m not going to say I really ‘hacked’ today, per se, since I didn’t even write any perl, but it was still fun to mess with things, commit changes, and have them show up live. Bug tracking still has lots of inherent suckiness, but hopefully now that we’re working from a better base we’ll be [...]
Sort of long, frustrating day yesterday. Worked part of it out of my system by posting my pictures from Nuernberg.
Today was more productive; not able to do much for xd but was able to hack a bit and test on gnome’s new bugzilla. Everyone owes aes a huge debt of gratitude for pushing this through, [...]
Spent part of the afternoon working on the release notes memorial page. It’s not easy- they deserve a true wordsmith who grokked who they were. I think I qualify for the second (at least for chema and ettore) but not for the first, at this point. Very frustrating.
Rest of the release notes are shaping up [...]
BTW, Havoc, you should fix the timestamps on your blog posts so that every set of posts in a day don’t all show up as one agglomerated mass :)
Guilty pleasures: real chorizo and manchego cheese, with the NCAA tourney on couple hour replay-tv-delay.
By the way, for the record, I’ve told rml that he doesn’t have to impress me by cheering for the forces of good and light. I like him anyway. Snorp, on the other hand, could use the karma points, at least [...]
I’m writing this on the plane; I know I’m going to feel like ass when I get off, but I probably shouldn’t complain- as far as I can tell, I’m next to the only empty seat on the entire plane.
Nuernberg was pretty much a blast, despite the agonies of travel and the cultural bits. It’s [...]
Having a great time in Nuremberg; the people are quite nice and their beer is strong.
Spent most of the weekend either watching basketball or fighting with networking; I appear to have a totally busted wireless setup and I have no clue why. Hopefully I can get meaningful fixage in the morning at the office before leaving for Germany.
Basketball was up and down- we lost, but it was an awesome tournament [...]
