further adventures in wasting time

The 2 days I'd never get back eventually turned into around 4-5 days total of developing, creating unit tests, system testing, and correcting various bugs the tests didn't find.

And now 1 more day. Backing the changes out.

Released ~2 weeks ago; customers and internal support are finally installing the new version and KABOOM! Unknown references in the C Runtime library.

Superfantastic news! Turns out our development / production testing environment isn't at the same HP-UX patch level as most customers' systems. Thanks, Oracle 11g! Thanks, budget constraints that made someone decide they had to stick it on the same server we use for support!

Speaking of nothing you wrote about...

Have you read When you are Engulfed in Flames yet? I just started it yesterday and I was laughing out loud continuously - the kids thought I had gone insane.

Thought?

I _think_ we purchased it... but I can't remember reading it. We did see David Sedaris's latest reading while he was in town a couple months ago. Good times.
