I have just finished a large stint of <tag>bug testing</tag> and fixing. Some last minute testing turned up a crop of bugs that were semi-critical and required resolution. The more frustrating part was that several of them were hardware problems, not software problems, due to someone blugging in an obviously damaged ethernet cable into the communication bus.</p> <p>Due to my efforts, my relative familiarity with large sections of code, and the fact that most of the programmers are now on vacation (one on Maternity leave until the 4th, one on Vacation until then, and my supervisor just started a one week vacation so he could spend some time with his family), I was asked if I could possibly go to New Jersey with several other members of the team, to help with the deployment at Rutgers University.</p> <p>Hmmm&#8230;..... let&#8217;s see&#8230;.... I haven&#8217;t traveled anywhere besides to Ontario and back since my high school years. If <span class="caps">I DIDN</span>&#8217;T go, I wouldn&#8217;t really be doing much except waiting for bug reports and probably finishing up my work term report. I am supposed to move, but thanks to my compliment of truly amazing friends, I am putting my stuff into storage early and then moving into my apartment when I get back.</p> <p>So yeah, I am heading down to New Jersey from the 27th to the 2nd. It should be an adventure.</p> Fri, 19 Aug 2005 19:30:00 +0200 urn:uuid:7ce72fa50acab5ace3301c9fa50cb533 Sean http://www.crazyorgenius.com/articles/2005/08/19/if-im-not-working-or-sleeping-im-working Life Programming Work travel http://www.crazyorgenius.com/articles/trackback/18 <p>Too bad you too are going to miss Lymphomapalooza.</p> <p>New Jersey should be fun though.
