Yearly Archives: 2003
Spent most of yesterday working on a bit of distraction. Was writing unit tests
and decided it would be useful to do some rudimentary timing/profiling of the
code as I tested it, and spent most of the day implementing that.
Left work and headed over to Go Studios for the That 1 Guy and Drums&Tuba
show.
Very Very impressive show. Enjoyed it greatly. badgers
description of the show is right on the money.
That 1 guy struck me as about equal parts Les Claypool and his Whamola,
Futureman, and Tom Waits.
Drums & Tuba were very very good as well. I suspect there cd will bear repated
listenings better, but as far as live perfomance goes, That 1 Guy won the night.
Pic of my tremolo pedal up
on the commondsound site.
Cool.
Wandered over to the Kings Trivia Night thing after some not particularly
good vietnese food. Didn’t do too bad consider we missed round 1 of
5 and only had three people (myself, deviant, and N). Though
our lack of knowledge of James Bond movies and Shakespeare didn’t
help, however we did well on TV theme songs, and as much as I hate
to admit it, identifying 80’s hair metal bands by pics of the lead singers.
Need some more folks I think. Teams could be up to 6.
Probably head over to see That One Guy
and Drums & Tuba at GO
tonight.
Also, while at the wedding reception of about 60 people, I managed to
have two different people tell me they use Red Hat Network/up2date,
and like it. That was kind of cool.
Of course, the groom is a tech guy, so the demographics of
the crowd was perhaps scewed a bit, but still cool.
Went to a friend from school’s wedding in Manteo over the weekend.
Had fun.
Long day. Up late last night fixing a odd bug that only occurs on updates.
I had to future proof old deployed code against new old code that updates
code including updating code for updating itself, and the old old code
tries to load new old code which then looks for new symbols in the old
old code.
That doesn’t make any more sense to me either.
Got up early and went and spent money. New tires, new suit.
Still got to go buy wedding pressents for a friends wedding.
Then discovered a nasty memleak in rpm, that showed up
when writing some unit tests that created a particular
object about 50 times. Luckily in the app code I only
create it once. And fairly rarely at that.
The new tires seem to make my car ride a heck of
a lot quiter and smoother. Should of gotten new tires
about 3 years ago. Especially considering I basically
knew it was the tires causing the problem. But I’m
lazy.
