Another Day.

Didn't really get enough sleep last night, as I got home from the LJ Meetup around 10:30 and by the time necessary chores (like making todays lunch and taking out the recycling) had all been taken care of, I didn't get to sleep until midnight. So, 6:00 am came awfully early today.

Still, I had a good time at the meetup. Something like 9 folks showed up, so it wasn't as dead as I had supposed it would be. In some perverse way I'm also glad that Bowling got cancelled, as I would have missed it. (But I'm not glad for the reasons. All Youse Guys: Get Well Soon!)  I'm thinking that NEXT tueday should be doable though. At least, I sure hope so.

And now, its time to read LJ and get ready for work.

Still at work.

It may be a long night for me, as I'm still at work. I'm debugging a bunch of automated scripts which need to call a bunch of interactive scripts which are used to control our product. The interactive scripts don't really work in a usefull fashion for non-interactive work though, so I've had to tear out their guts and weld them to a scaffold. Its ugly, but it just might work.

The problem is, I've just discovered that the software doesn't run on the test boxes. This has nothing to do with my work (other than I need running software for the scripts to interact with) but there is a training session scheduled for tomorrow morning that will use these very same boxes.

Since I have until tomorrow evening to debug my scripts, but I lose all the test boxes at 9:00 am tomorrow, I'm having to stay late to finish stuff. Now the guy who stayed late to set up the training session is NOT happy, as he was expecting the software to work on these boxes tomorrow. So, we're trying to get  things working correctly, so that I can go back to my debuggering and so HE can finish preparing his training stuff.

Grumph.
