Cleaning Up
One of my XML processing routines showed up with a glitch when presented with some unexpected data (what is all that whitespace doing there?). Now the good news is that confronted with this, it didn't run wild, it just issued an error message, which is what *should* happen when you find constructs that you don't expect. The programmer who was working with it pinged me this morning and by this evening I had patched it and checked in the fix so that he can get back to work.
Meanwhile, back at home, Gretchen had ordered a ginormous beanbag chair for the kids which arrived on the porch today. I hauled it in, unpacked the chair, and used the big box to contain all of the packing cardboard from Julie's new bed, which has now been put out for recycling tomorrow. I am hoping that they actually take it and the large box full of styrofoam and other packing material that is sitting next to the garbage on the other side of the driveway and which should depart with the trash half of the collection.
The living room no longer looks like boxes exploded all over it, which is good.
More cleaning will occur this weekend, but this is a good down payment.
