Successes, assorted
May. 8th, 2006 10:20 amBig hairy work project clearly met "ready for SQA" deadline last Monday: overnight tests ran, as well as on our main branch, even with new-and-improved hardware.
House acquired. Dining room went from "zomg seventies dark wood paneling" to "those are three exciting layers of wallpaper" to "bare plaster walls" to "spackle", didn't quite get to prime-and-paint yet. If you wind up doing this, don't bother trying to scrape off loose wallpaper, just go straight to the wallpaper paste remover; it makes life so much better. Floor people are here now. Have much carpet and aforementioned wood paneling to dispose of.
ET Corporation meeting yesterday. It's My Problem™ now.
After late-night carpet-extraction session, now being kept awake solely on the power of a Diesel latte. Maybe later I'll take the laptop outside (alas, sans net) and kill off a fresh Angband character or something.
