Crazy is as crazy does

Looking Ahead- Conferences!

Since I noticed Patrick has spilled the beans [just before the second question], I might as well cover this topic while I wait for my dinner to bake [I eschew microwave ovens these days- just seems better to let it cook the old-fashioned- if early-to-mid-twentieth

Passion and Persistence

Well, it's the Memorial Day weekend here in Redmond, and I am in my office working for the second of the three days of the weekend.  Just can't stay away. Why? Because for months now I have been trying to improve the efficiency of our team's automated

The light at the end of the WDF 1.7 tunnel

I know people want to know about this, but firm dates still prove elusive.  My best guess is today or tomorrow at this point. Basically we're trying to put an interim package up that satisfies everyone and isn't going to cause us foreseeable problems

Now for a different UMDF Coinstaller story...

A New Target Date For WDF 1.7!

As noted in the previous post (among others) , I've not been saying anything about when WDF 1.7 will reappear for all those eager to begin using it, biding my time and waiting for a date that sounds achievable and has been given to a customer from our

Just another Manic Monday

Now playing: Seatbelts - Cowboy Bebop - The Egg and I Well, it seems that things really do stay the same the more they change! After posting my last post , it became clear one of those positions was indeed going to be filled within a few weeks. But the

SOMEONE must want this job!

This isn't the sort of semi-permanent topic I'd like to be doing more of, but we've had an opening for an SDET or two for months now- I've been trying to do the work of more than one to cover this, things are going undone, customers are being under-served,
