Fairly busy times.
It's summer (cooling off now, but anyway), and basically
things are
as they are supposed to be - it's hot and i'm more often
doing
something quite different from hacking.
Ok, i _did_ - an outer ear infection stopped me from
swimming and
diving for the next days. No, i'm not happy - fortunately
that didn't
hit before i made some very good pictures (from my point of
view, of coutse) of a few inhabitants
of a sea around here.
I released new versions of ftpcopy and
dyndb in the meantime. Two other packages are
almost ready to be released. Oh well. It's summer, you
understand?
Company is going crazy. The one doing the mass-support left,
and $boss "forgot" [1] to get someone to replace him. So now
a
few people
with a little bit of time left do that job, together with
$boss, who
has his own way of doing support: "oh, this is stupid. Throw
away
this request". "Answered on the web site. Throw away ...".
Ok, _that_
way i can handle a request per minute.
[1] actually i think $boss was surprised by the amount of
vacation Thomas still had open ...
My job isn't going well at the moment. Currently i firmly
believe
that afilias (the company trying to get big money out of
.info) has
been created to ruin my nerves. Hey, their test server
sometimes
even answers correctly ... most of the time it doesn't
answer at
all. Not to forget that it's slow. I was hoping to have a
vacation
starting tomorrow, but that will not happen, i'm unable to
finish
even one test run.
Oh, well. Came back yesterday in the evening, noticed a new
hole
in the wall, where the electric installation was supposed to
be
done. Unfortunately that hole was a little bit deeper than
the
wall. I was hoping to carry a lot of things into this room
tomorrow. Let's see when i'll do that.
Discussed open source with a friend. "You really mean that
being
able to fix bugs or audit the code yourself is a reason to
avoid
standard software from microsoft?". Of course, yes, i do,
but
Bernd, i don't think i can explain that to you.
