- After a month and a half, I decided that enough was enough, and finally fixed the sea of decrepitude that was my activity log. Every day I would think to myself “I should really write down what I did today, because I like having that record.” and would promptly fall asleep or start talking to someone and so on.
- Since our build master just left, and there’s really nobody else who can do it, I’ve reluctantly taken that role for the next couple of months. It’s good, because there are so, so, so many things that I want to fix, but it’s also quite possibly the most infuriating and frustrating job I could possibly be doing, since it involves dealing with every team, many of which contain incompetent people.
- On the bright side, Alain works for me now, and he seems pretty good. He doesn’t seem to have any real opinions about how this stuff should all work, so I can spend the next few months making sure that he fully believes that my way is the one right and true path, and that all others will be cast down. I guess if I succeed at my goal of automating as much as possible and removing the stupidity, he can just take over for me when I’ve decided that I’ve had enough.
- Today was Tyla’s last exam of the term, and so we celebrated her completion and new employment offer with a dinner at Thai Grille. Alas, Deb already left for Ottawa for the long weekend, but Zach, Alice, Mike, Janice (!), and George could be counted on for some gastronomic excess.
- cassis is nearly beta-able, I just need to fix a half dozen smaller things and release it. It’s probably no more than 5 or 6 hours of work, I just need to make time for it. In other news, there’s been a lot of Achtung talk lately, and it looks like the GNOME 2.0 platform is finally stable enough for us to push Achtung over the finish line. Or at least the pre-alpha line.
- I’m tired, and I haven’t decided whether I’m going to work tomorrow yet. It’s a holiday, so it’ll be a good chance to actually get something done.
