Apr. 23rd, 2002 02:14 pmYaaaay! I'm finished all but one of my upgrade test scenarios, about a day earlier than i thought i would be. I'm restoring an image for that last one right now, so have a little bit of time, and not much to say.
Finally managing to get back onto most of the lists Yahoo dumped me off of last Thursday.
Get to go to the Great Big Sea show at the Showbox tomorrow. Yaaaay! *does the silly happy dance*
Managed to move up from sixth place (of eight) in my hockey pool to first, and now hold a 6.3 point advantage over the second place entry, as opposed to being thirty points behind.
Fairly disgruntled with work, but haven't wasted any time today mucking with automation. I figure that it's the SDET (Software Design Engineer in Test, if you're not up on the acronym) who wrote the scripts who is responsible for getting the kinks out, and i'm not wasting my time trying to figure out his code when it takes longer to investigate a single failure than it does to run the whole battery of test scenarios.
Addendum: Darkwave and trance music (with splashes of Björk thrown in for flavouring) make excellent accompaniment for the drive from Burlington to Redmond and vice-versa. Certainly better than shitty Seattle radio, and less static than Victoria and Vancouver radio. Figured out very early that cruise control is a must for driving under such conditions, because otherwise it's entirely likely that the WSP will get very upset or the FAA will want to know what the low-flying craft flying along I-5 is.
