Done yesterday (20100830 Mo)
0830 Mo * up 7:45; W=195.6; drugs, nose, teeth; laundry, coffee, dishes * fish for breakfast * YD to school * 11am (parent company president) Kondo-san talk in Cupertino * spent all afternoon in meetings. The first discussing how to test the code I'd just spent the last month writing, the second discussing how to get rid of it and replace it with something that actually has a hope of working. $boss was not happy about this prospect. I am. Proud of my code, but not particularly attached to it, if it isn't the right fit. @ The Black Blood of the Earth | funraniumlabs.com concentrated coffee * sang for Colleen I Am the Walrus, Riverheart, Bears, Lilly * put down a scratch track for Eyes Like the Morning. Needs redoing, but I put down a scratch track. In the office. = generate > click track * bed somewhere around midnight, snuggle
I spent all day in meetings yesterday. A talk by the parent company's president, a meeting with $QA_guy going over the test plan for the server-side software I've been working on for about the last month, and another, longer meeting with the guys on the client end of said software, where we concluded that it probably needs to be scrapped. (More specifically, bypassed in favor of something much simpler and more efficient.)
I seem to be a researcher at heart. I'm proud of my work, happy to have learned as much as I did from it, but not at all upset over the possibility that the work might have been "wasted". $boss, who has to worry about things like schedules, understandably has a different view of the situation.
The big news, though, is that I recorded a scratch track for Amethyst Rose - specifically Eyes Like the Morning. It fell apart rather badly on the last verse, so it's not a keeper by any means, but it's something. I was appalled to note that the other scratch tracks in that directory date back to February of 2007. Sorry about that. Hopefully I'll have time over the next two weekends.
Only one link today; coffee-related. Fun, though.
