11:30 pm in Redmond
Wow, what the hell am I doing up at this hour and not at home?
Well, I had one of those rare bugs dumped on my plate that while not really difficuly, is time consuming.
It also would be a really good thing if it were done by a meeting at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
Believe it or not... I don't have to be here. I want to be here. I know with just a few extra hours I can get this thing done and in under the wire... I think.
Well, I understand about 95% of the bug. The question is whether the last 5% will take 10 minutes, 2 hours, or have me scrambling.
So... For the first time at this job; I decided to put in my requisite all night session.
I'm online and doing lots of little fixes for this bug. Meaning... 2-4 lines of code... build for 10 minutes...
leather, wince, re-beat.
Translation: If you're on late night tonight... Feel free to IM. (AIM best, see my profile)...
Otherwise... it's me, the code, and Irene Cara singing about Fame
